As Winter Storm Cora arrives, it's time to prepare your vacation rental for the frigid temperatures. Proper winterization not only protects your property but also ensures guest comfort and safety. Follow these essential tips to keep your vacation rental in top shape during the colder months.
​
1. HVAC System Maintenance
  • Schedule a professional inspection of your heating system
  • Replace air filters
  • Test the thermostat for accuracy
  • Consider installing a smart thermostat for remote monitoring
2. Insulation and Draft Prevention
  • Check and replace weatherstripping around doors and windows
  • Caulk any gaps or cracks in exterior walls
  • Add insulation to attics and crawl spaces if needed
  • Install thermal curtains for added insulation
3. Plumbing Protection
  • Insulate exposed pipes and install faucet covers to prevent freezing
  • Winterize your sprinkler system
  • Show guests how to shut off the main water valve in case of emergencies
  • If your property is in an extremely cold area, consider installing heat tape on pipes
4. Outdoor Maintenance
  • Clean gutters and downspouts to prevent ice dams
  • Trim tree branches that could fall on the property during storms
  • Store outdoor furniture and equipment
  • Ensure proper drainage away from the foundation
5. Emergency Preparedness
  • Create an emergency kit with flashlights, lanterns, batteries, and a first-aid kit
  • Provide guests with a list of emergency contacts and local resources
  • Consider installing a backup generator for areas prone to power outages
6. Guest Comfort Additions
  • Stock up on extra blankets and warm bedding
  • Leave a supply of ice melt or sand for walkways
7. Regular Check-ins
  • If your property is in a remote area, arrange for someone to check on it regularly
  • Use security cameras (with guest knowledge) to monitor exterior conditions
8. Clear Communication
  • Update your listing to highlight winter amenities (e.g., fireplace, hot tub)
  • Provide clear instructions for guests on operating heating systems and handling winter conditions
​
By going the extra mile in winterizing and marketing your vacation rental, you're not just preparing for the cold—you're warming up to a season of successful hosting. Your attention to detail will pay off in guest satisfaction, positive reviews, and increased bookings throughout the winter months.

Remember, a well-winterized vacation rental isn't just a place to stay—it's a winter wonderland experience that guests will cherish and recommend. As you prepare, you can find our full list of winterization must haves on our Amazon Storefront. What did we forget? Drop us a comment and let us know!
