I'm adding a glow-in-the-dark mini golf course to one of my Cleveland Airbnbs.
When families are scrolling through dozens of lakefront properties that all look the same, neon golf in a black room is what gets them to click instead of keep scrolling.
Just locked up a lakefront property in Portage Lakes for $375k.
The plan? Turn it into a $100k-a-year vacation rental with a hot tub, barrel sauna, and glow-in-the-dark mini golf course.

This is what’s making short-term rentals more competitive right now.
🛁 I walked this property with Michael Forbes and got into the upgrades that actually help a place stand out.
• why hot tubs are still one of the strongest amenities for driving offseason occupancy
• why fenced yards matter so much for pet-friendly properties and families
• why quiet hours and safety rules matter if you want to protect the guest experience and keep neighbors happy
• and the big one: short-term rentals can absolutely outperform, but only if you’re willing to invest in the property and run it the right way
Appreciate Michael being part of this one.
If you’re coming from the long-term rental world and trying to understand why some Airbnbs win and others don’t, this video lays it out pretty clearly. It’s more hands-on, yes - but when the amenities, setup, and management are dialed in, the upside is there.
