My rates will go up 20% in 2025. I kept them low for 2 years to build up bookings and get good reviews. I give regulars special deals. I gave a free week to flood victims and a week to my cleaner’s family. Herbie got a 100% discount as well. 1/3 of my bookings are owner bookings which don’t help pay the bills much. But if you google “Red Leaf Cabin” my site comes up first. That is important. I am all about marketing. Profit will be the goal for 2025. What's an owner booking? When I reserve it myself, no fees. |

Reserving it is the same as marking it as booked. The cleaners need to know when to clean. When former guests contact me looking for a deal, I reserve the days myself and the end result is 50% savings for my regulars. However, I do not have recourse should anything go wrong. There would be no insurance for damages for example. In 2 years, I have not had anyone damage anything which would have required me to make a claim though. |

North Carolina Sales Tax: 7.75% of the listing price including any cleaning and guest fees for reservations less than 90 nights. The State imposes both a statewide 4.75% tax and a local 3% tax from the county. As far as property tax Macon County has a tax rate of $0.40 per $100 of assessed value. This ranks Macon County 96th of 100 counties in North Carolina for County property tax rates. The average County tax rate in North Carolina is $0.666 per $100 of assessed value |
