My Tiny House is Now on Airbnb 

Hope you all enjoy this little update! If you'd like to book my Airbnb, check out the link in the description. If you have any questions or suggestions about this all, leave a comment as well and I'll do my darndest to reply asap. 🤠

I don't have a microwave either but this is considered very odd. I think you should get a smallish one and it will also mean people will be less likely to mess up your oven, much harder to clean.

George, congratulations on your new Airbnb.... May I make a suggestion, Make a tiny flyer or something there at the Airbnb that shows what the points of interest around the Airbnb. .. like restaurants, walks, lakes....you know things to do.... I wish you all the luck in the world with your Airbnb!. 😊

The little flies from the potted plants are probably fungus gnats. There are various ways (see online) to address those, but I think you are right in taking your plants out. As for your AirBNB tiny house, do add a small microwave. It is inexpensive and your renters will be grateful.

Yes get the microwave. I think people that are on vacation do very little cooking, mostly just beverages and snacks, but prefer to eat out a lot. It might also help with having less wear & tear on your stove! I do hope the guests will treat your property with respect. You worked so hard on it and it really turned out beautifully. 😊

As a horticulturalist, the flies can be remedied by switching out your soil and getting some plant food. The bugs are attracted to plants that are unhealthy and in some form of decline. Swapping out your soil, cleaning your pots (bleach depending on how bad the situation is) and adding a slow release food - follow the directions on the package. A quick fix is to sprinkle cinnamon over the soil. It’s not toxic for you or the plants and the bugs dont like it. enjoying your channel. Good luck with Airbnb! I’ve hosted, and only had good experiences.

It’s looking lovely. I personally rarely use a microwave, however having done Airbnb myself, I think not having one would leave some of your guests bewildered 😅

Hi George and Junior. You've been on my mind as of late !! Yes a microwave might be a good addition. Some people might not want to cook outright, but toss a meal in the microwave for a quick meal, and get out the door to enjoy the area. Anything to simplify a clients stay and experience. And maybe some items that might come in handy, (i.e. binoculars, umbrellas, rain slicks) you get the idea. It would behoove you to add those little things (also a full bathroom suite basket with Q-tips, cotton balls, band aids, soap and shampoo etc.) the goal here is to make staying there simple. I've seen this done on a handful of cottage flips here in Canada, where cottages are flipped and put on the rental markets in Cottage Country around Ontario and Quebec. If you add these little things, a little above and beyond other rentals, your location becomes a higher grade of stay and location according to the little perks you add for your guests.

That ceramic sign is beautiful. Such a good idea making sure there are no problems with the sky light windows. I agree with you that a corner couch would suit your new home. Wishing you the very best with this new endeavor. 💚

I love when content creators care and share about their fur family members 💖

Lovely build! I’m not a microwave guy either, but they do come in handy for heating up leftover takeout food. So I think Mom is right. ✌️

Looks great. What cool window devices! The name of your tiny house is perfect. And yes to a microwave. At least a small one. Guests will appreciate the convenience.

you are so lucky to have a healthy helpful dad to help with all that moving and construction!! Seriously, my dad was a god-send, but I lost him younger. Dont forget to appreciate him. Glad its going to be an Airbnb, but I am sure there iss someone that would LOVE to own it too. Once it's shiney new glace isnt sending weirdos to see it. LOL. Much Love your way at Holiday time.

Thanks for the update. Always loved your tiny house. Yes small microwave would be useful. Nice tribute to your grandmother.

‘Antique Roadshow’ is really important and so is a microwave in a house.

Congratulations Patchy new place really looks great . Happy you put 1st house on air B&B , just an fyi all the air B&B , cabins ect Ive ever stayed at , it was required that you the customer bring your own linens, means you bring your own towels, pillows and blankets . I totally get it , much less work for the owner . Im sure your mom doesnt want to be doing endless laundry 😊

Congratulations on your move into your new home, George. Wishing you much success with your cottage as an airbnb. ♥ I like the name and the plaque is lovely. ♥♥♥

Congratulations 🎉🎉🎉.... Thanks for the update!! Thank Goodness no other cats or Jr. was hurt during this filming 😅😅😅...

good luck with the bookings and maintenance ❤️ definitely get an 850W microwave, it’s so convenient for reheating meals especially for those who may not want to cook on a stove while they’re away on a break

Well done George. Having cleaned air b&b's and holiday homes, a microwave gets used a lot. The other thing folk use is a coffee machine. Personally a coffee plunger and a milk frother works the best and is the easiest to clean/maintain. Wishing you the best of outcomes with your endeavours.

I like the changes you’ve made for potential customers. Fake plants are a godsend 😂

Your creativity and imagination is incredible! I could be having the worst day with my anxiety/depression, watching your videos are an instant way to relax and get a good chuckle! Thank you!

Finally! It fills my hearth with joy to see a video again. I missed watching them on Sunday evening. Nice to see the tiny house on AirBnB. Added it to the list of places to visit 😁

One way to reduce the house plant flies is to put gravel over the top of the exposed soil. You can get small decorative gravel that works quite well to reduce their numbers, worth doing just for yourself as those flies are annoying.

Yes a microwave is a necessity especially for people who are on vacation. To be able to just heat something up in a quick and easy way is paramount.

Your videos always make me feel good because you accomplish so much, and your sneak attack humor. Your speech is so calming, I don’t expect the joke coming. And your jokes are always so absurdly funny, they leave me with a euphoric feeling through the video. Thank you! 😃😄

🎉 Congratulations! May your new business prosper ❤😊

Ah well done and you done all the right things as well for safety, at the end of the day it is your property so you need to keep it safe and the velux rain thingy is great. Microwave and toaster a must, I would however think if you can somehow secure the tv to the wall, as one bump from a kid or adult and bye tv, Good luck my love its all coming together xxxx Dede xxx

Looks terrific, definitely get a microwave. Love the house name. Enjoy your new home and Ihope you get lots of rentals.

A microwave should be added, because many people choose to cook at home, but with the quick, and easy microwaveable meals. Especially if they plan on staying only a night or two. It saves on meal costs.

The house looks great, good luck to you (and your mum)! I haven't looked it up, so I don't know what the food/supermarket situation is in the village the house is at. I would consider this when you put things in the kitchen, like do they need to cook every day cause there are no restaurants? The pots and pans etc need to fit accordingly. And then you need to decide, or know, what kind of guests you will host. Like is it outdoorsy people? Just for business in the area? People passing through? Etc. That will also decide the kind of stuff you need in the kitchen (and house). Most important is how clean the house is. And the stuff in it, especially cutlery and such.

Windows with shades that close automatically? Very kool. Yes on microwave. Does Junior have her own channel yet? Hope so. Thx for the update ❤

Love the name of your cottage. It looks so very comfy and cozy.

The tiny flies are fungus gnats, you are probably watering a bit too much. Make sure the soil is totally dry before you water again. They thrive in damp soil.

I feel like visiting the village and staying in your tiny house would be a lovely couple of nights. I might try to book it for next year. 😊 Thx ☺️

Bowersburn Cottage looks great George! All the best with your new venture!

Hi George, i think that you need a one big wooden shelf( staring from your top cabinet to the end of the kitchen furniture, and 2 small wooden shelves under the end of the big one. Maybe you can find a colour for these wooden shelves that goes with your floor. Greetings from Romania!

If I ever make it to Scotland, you better believe I'm staying at Bowersburn Cottage! And I'm sure your many subscribers feel the same. Look to be fully booked and stay that way! Cha-ching, Patchy!! $$$

Very nice, wishing you much success in your new new home and venture. I agree with your mom. A microwave is a plus in an air-bnb.

The way Junior ran out of that carrier, you'd be convinced George really had put a hit out on her.😸😸 Yes to microwave.

I bet your dad is proud of you. ❤ Good luck with your new business adventure. 🎉

It's lovely and your Mom is correct. You need a microwave or your Mom will be getting phone calls asking about where you keep it. I suggest the smallest one you can find that will fit a dinner plate inside. Or one you can attach to the underside of the cabinet. The Vellux shades and window closing device is genius. I hope that put your mind at ease. I think you should charge more but you know better what the cost should be for your area. Good luck and pat Junior for me.

Yes a microwave oven or toaster oven is a nice-to-have item. I can't remember staying anywhere where i didn't use one and I am sure your quest will like it too.

I bought a small retro style microwave for my tiny kitchen from Amazon. They come in colors instead of the standard black or stainless steel. I bought the cream color and it is very unobtrusive. I wish you all the best on your new venture.

I am not too fond of microwaves but it seems a must have item in most households. So, go for it. As for plants, I had for many years hydro cultured (hydroponic) pot plants with no soil but special pebbles and needed watering once a month. There are RU-vid channels explaining how to maintain these. Fabulous check it out ! Love the name of your tiny home, the rain sensors and wish you great Airbnb success!

Probably good to have the microwave a lot of people use them. So just in case it is good to have it. You don’t want someone marking it low because it doesn’t have one. They have small ones you can get

It looks so nice! Honestly it looks awesome compared to other similar places nearby

The house looks great! I, personally, would find the cat hair comforting as I have 2 of the little monsters myself. But I think you were smart to think of non-cat people. 👍 If I’m ever in your area I would love to stay at your tiny ABnB home. It looks so cozy.

So glad to hear there's no contract out on Jr. Hope your air BB is a success and that you and Jr. have wonderful life in the new home. ❤

Definitely a microwave. Most handy on holiday when you don't want to do much cooking, so quick and simple things easily warmed up are much appreciated. And it saves on cleaning up, as well as allowing for a hot cup of cocoa at bedtime without a pot to wash, or a warm up of your cup of tea when you let it cool off, distracted by RU-vid videos. Nice job on your wee but n ben! 👏😊👍

I love the way you are so careful and thoughtful about your actions. I have just moved into an old house and I am feeling quite overwhelmed that I will have a beautiful house at the end of the day. You reassure me that it is possible. Thank you.

Hey, love the rugs, I think the house looks gorgeous. Wish I could come and stay for a month with my kitty. Best wishes love to you and Jr. ❤️🙏🏼🇺🇸

I don't have a microwave, either. For the tiny bugs, I put out a small lidded glass jar, with very small holes nailed through the lid, with a little vinegar inside. Leave it near the plant and the jar will catch the bugs. Loved seeing Junior's little hop into your parents' house, super cute. Best of luck in your venture!

Great photos of your cottage on AirBnB, especially the view across the village to Lock Leven. Good luck with this venture. 😀

4:13 Omg that’s a nice setup. It should be installed on more windows.

The most important thing in an Airbnb for me is the cleanliness. The pictures are awsome on the website but sometimes you arrive to the place and it smells bad in the shower. Also, I stayed in one place and the sofa had a hole in it. No one mentionned it before the stay. So I worried about it because I didn't want the owner to think it is my fault.

Looks great George! How considerate of you to think of all those details for your guests, praying you get the best guests, and that this adventure pays off. Best of luck.

Love the houses name, very sweet. From an American perspective.... Microwave while on vaca is probably necessary but it doesn't have to be a big one... just to reheat leftovers or a cup of water. While I own a kettle most Americans don't. If you think you'll get a lot of us from the US then a small coffee pot or Keurig type machine might be good.... again not something I use but everyone I know has some type of coffee set up.... even just a French press would be nice. I think the price sound reasonable and fair, good luck and I hope it's a great success!

Morning George, That's a nice touch naming your house after your grans. I would say, yes to a small microwave, it would be handy come winter, heating up the odd haggis pie. I totally get your worry over the windows, im always saying to the husband, have you shut that window. The hills etc outside look stunning, I bet you have already got bookings. Good luck George, cheers Millysue

It looks so lovely! And very reasonable in price. I think you defo need to offer a microwave, just a basic one. Sometimes I make something in advance for our first night, maybe a stew or a spag bol. I freeze it and transport in my cool bag with other cold food. It often won't have defrosted by the time I get to my destination, so a microwave is handy. Also, if you don't have huge choice of places to eat in your village, your guests may not always want to drive to eat out.

So happy to get another upload from you! You're my new comfort RU-vidr/lifestyle inspiration. I really admire how you've turned RU-vid into a career to afford you a simple and comfortable life. The Airbnb will surely be a great additional stream of income, congratulations! And I love that you renamed it to make it special and meaningful to you ❤ Btw, yes to the microwave! I heat up milk for my instant cappuccino every morning, and it's much more convenient than using the stove. Also easier for reheating food, defrosting stuff, etc. so if you ever have guests who want to book the place for longer than a few days, I think it's an important thing to have.

Lovely video, and I can only hope one day to visit and stay in your lovely tiny house. It looks amazing, and your price is very good. As for the microwave, we couldn't live without one, especially on holiday.

It will be a wonderful refuge for travellers. Well done.

A microwave is a necessity. Those who don't want to use it, won't, nor will be offended by its being there. Those who do want to use it will be delighted, but would be annoyed by its not being there.

I have no suggestions. The price is good - and would be a lovely place to stay!

Congratulations George! Your rehab of the tiny house was fun to watch. And now you are a small businessman, dealing with the public. Many wishes for you and your mom for a successful future!

Wonderful :) I would probably suggest to try to anchor the TV, either to the wall, or to the cabinet below it... not because of stealing, but it looks a bit unstable and easy to overturn when passing nearby (talking from the point of view of a very clumsy person... I once closed a jar with jam without noticing a part of my sleeve got "locked" into it and I almost killed myself when I raised up my arm to fix my hair :D I suppose I'm not the only one this much gifted :D )

Yay George! Definitely visiting the Patchy tiny house on my way through Scotland 🥰 I would’ve checked on your plants for you! What a lovely story behind the name. I think a small microwave would be a nice addition, I use mine a lot lol.

Canadian here. I bought my first microwave in 1984 and have had one in the kitchen of all the places I've lived in since. I do a lot of traveling throughout North America and microwaves are everywhere. If your potential clients are from North America, a microwave is almost an essential.

Love both your places George.

I had those exact rain sensor velux windows and can confirm, as I lived in rainy Cumbria at the time, they worked like a charm!! Also, if any of it stops working, replacing the control battery is the first (and usually only) port of call for fixing it!

I think it turned out amazing! All the details, the forethought you put into everything. I hope it is a money maker for you. Can not wait for more updates on the new house, and Joonya of course. 😄❤ Much love and respect from Florida USA

Congratulations on this new endeavour, George! This is a sweet cottage that will be a comfortable place for travelers. Everything looks great and very thoughtfully presented.

Very nice! I would add a microwave. It can be the smallest one available, but it's so handy.

Beautiful place still! Hope it does well on Airbnb! :)

I love your little cottage! I hope it's wildly successful.

Congrats to you & your mum on getting on Airbnb! And yes to the microwave, please. (I'll make it there one day...)

i really love your house as that's when I discovered you channel! Would love to stay in your Airbnb one day!

I really love the name of your Airbnb and the nice plaque with it’s namesake in the front. Looks beautiful!

Good Luck with everything, George. 👍

Wow, George! Oh how I wish I could stay at your bnb! But, I live so far away, in Cali, USA, and have never been off this continent. Kudos to you, my friend, and wishing you all the luck in the world! Give your sweet kitty a snuggle for me! TFS! Lil hugs xo

Congrats, so young and already with a business of your own, wishing the best ❤.

I enjoyed watching your videos of when you first renovated the tiny house, and this one as well. I love your narration. Some of the things you say are so hilarious, and I can't help but laugh out loud. Thank you for that. You're adorable!

Your voice and delivery and choice of musical background is very comforting and soothing and that comes through in your home designs as well. Thank you for sharing and I wish your cottage much success.

Well done, another interesting video. The cottage plaque is beautiful and a lovely tribute to your Gran.

AirBnb guests mainly live off pizza and fry ups in my experience but a microwave is always a good option. Definitely a coffee maker of some sort and a few locally produced “welcome goodies” are a nice touch. Best of luck!

Man, every time I watch any of your videos, I really just want to uproot my life and go live in a small cottage town 😂

I've seen some other RU-vidrs that keep a lot of plants say that it's necessary to change the soil/repot every so often to prevent those flies you mentioned from appearing or coming back in their own plants. Maybe that can help you too? I'm a total plant noob so I could be wrong, but it's a random piece of info that's always stuck with me lol!

It looks really nice, George. I hope Junior is going to like her new home. Wishing you a good move and getting settled into your sweet new home.

Looks great! I think I'd be a bit surprised if a place I stayed didn't have a microwave so I'd consider adding one. Doesn't need to be anything fancy just a cheap one, and you could perhaps shove it in one of the cupboards so people can get it out if they need to use it but it doesn't clutter your kitchen.

The place looks amazing! I personally would use a microwave at an air bnb but would say its not a make or break - also would be great if somewhere down the line you could make it so the minimum number of nights is 1 or 2 rather than 3 as this I feel like would be a great place as a stop off area for a bike packing trip!

Looks beautiful, George, and so thoughtful!

Yes, on the microwave, a breakfast station has become popular lately. I would also scotch guard spray all the cushions, accent pillows and fabric that might get stains. Leaving a few local or regional magazines highlighting the local interests is a nice touch. A front door mat for both outside and inside if you don't already have that covered, it will help considerably with keeping your flooring nice long-term.

How exciting for you! Hope it’s wildly successful. I’d be there in a minute if I didn’t have so much expensive Reno facing me at home and cutting into travel funds.

I think having a microwave is a good idea. Especially for those who want a quick meal or warm up their leftovers from a restaurant. Man, I would love to visit Scotland and stay at your airbnb. Best and continue success George.👊👍

You've put a lot of hard work into it George. Looks great and certainly not expensive for what you're quoting so far. I'm not a sun worshiper or feel the need for my two weeks clubbing to feel like I got a holiday so you just might have a visitor to your Air B&B, especially when it's not a gazillion miles from where I live. Let me get through and pay for Christmas first though but you might be hearing from me in the new year. :)

Your sense of humour is coming through wonderfully in this video. Very enjoyable. Your rates are very reasonable too.

Looks great! Yes, if there is room, a microwave would be great (perhaps under the cabinet?)

I may see you this Summer! Nicely done!

Love the attention to detail you show for your houses and your videos. Personally I find it important that bedroom curtains/blinds provide a complete black-out, as I like it completely dark. This is not always easy to find on airbnb and also that information is often missing in the description.
