Airbnb has become increasing popular, and it’s no surprise why. These rentals offer travelers affordable places to stay with a more unique feel and aesthetic than a commercial hotel. While all hotel rooms offer painfully similar setups, Airbnb rentals offer people a chance to stay in a mansion, cabin, or, as Jeff mentioned on the cover, a taste of history. While the pandemic has placed restrictions on travel for the time being, it won’t be this way forever. In fact, now might be the best time to get started on renovations, whether you’re a seasoned Airbnb renter or just getting started. If you’ve been thinking about renovating a property to use for rental space, here are a few things to keep in mind. New Floor, Please This doesn’t mean installing new carpet. Install a hardwood floor or consider a polished concrete floor for a unique look. While these installations require a little bit of elbow grease, they are some of the cheaper options to give your floors a stylish look. The More Storage the Better Storage is key. Think about the people who will be staying in your Airbnb — they’re going to want the space to store whatever it is they’re

I feel like the dilapidated parts of the city of Mineral Wells will be rehabilitated, and the city will get new residents with a new sense of ownership. The price of real estate in Mineral Wells is really reasonable and a draw. Many first-time homeowners cannot afford to live in Weatherford or Fort Worth, but Mineral Wells gives them the option to get into a home at a reasonable price and still be within an hour of Fort Worth.

It will raise the healthy livability of downtown and the surrounding neighborhoods. It is an interesting and exciting time in the history of Mineral Wells. You should drop in and walk around. There has been a lot of behind-the-scenes work, and the stars are aligning. Slowly but surely, this little city is seeing the changes it has been needing for 50 years. There is a ton of opportunity for this little city an hour to the Wild West of Fort Worth. bringing. That being said, adding storage options could be as simple as adding a shoe rack by the door, hooks on the wall, or even a shelf inside a closet. Airbnb even recommends that hosts provide at least eight hangers in the closet for their guests. Kitchen Cabinet Time One of the best renovations is painting your kitchen cabinets. The kitchen is often the make or break factor when it comes to guests deciding on a place to stay. It’s one of the benefits of renting through Airbnb — hotel rooms don’t come with a kitchen. Giving your kitchen a fresh look with painted cabinets or even replacing a few cabinet doors with glass doors can give your kitchen the look your guests crave.

They are survivors, smart and tough, and they come from families of hard-working pioneers who helped found Palo Pinto county. The local government has become more sophisticated. I see the law enforcement steadily working to enforce the right stuff. The town saying is “Keep Mineral Wells Crazy.” I personally like the word “crazy.” To me, it is kind of refreshing and outside of the box. Crazy is good. What I like to remind folks of in Mineral Wells is, “Let’s keep Mineral Wells crazy … but not scary.” The law enforcement work is making a huge impact on the curb appeal of the city and county. We back the blue. The Future Downtown Mineral Wells draws people in fromWeatherford, Fort Worth, and Dallas, as well as daytrippers from all around to visit.
