Short Term Rentals
Firelight: The Amenity That Elevates Any Rental
In today’s short-term rental market, guests expect more than a comfortable bed and
reliable Wi-Fi. They’re drawn to properties that offer unique, memorable experiences,
the kind that inspire glowing reviews and repeat visits. Few amenities capture attention
like a fire feature. Whether it’s a cozy glow on a patio, a flickering centerpiece at dinner,
or a warm touch on a chilly evening, the presence of firelight creates atmosphere that
transforms an ordinary rental into something unforgettable.
Why Fire Features Increase Bookings
A fire feature immediately changes the way a property looks and feels. In listing photos,
it draws the eye and sets the mood, making your rental stand out among hundreds of
similar options. Guests imagine evenings spent gathered around the flame, and that
emotional connection drives decisions. Properties that showcase a fire feature often see
higher occupancy rates, command premium pricing, and earn more enthusiastic
reviews.
Beyond the numbers, fire features extend a rental’s usability. Outdoor areas become
more appealing year-round, making spaces that might otherwise be underused a central
part of your guests’ stay. They also encourage connection: families roasting
marshmallows, couples sharing a glass of wine, or groups gathering after a day of
adventure. These experiences become the memories that guests mention in reviews
and share on social media, multiplying the property’s visibility.

Safety and Simplicity Matter
Of course, not every fire option is equally suited to a rental property. Traditional wood-
burning pits can create maintenance headaches and safety concerns from sparks and
smoke to the need for constant wood supply and ash cleanup. Some hosts have even
reported issues with tenants harvesting wood from living trees on their property. For
hosts, the ideal fire feature is one that provides all the charm and ambiance of a flame
while remaining simple, safe, and low maintenance.
That’s why many rental owners are choosing compact, clean-burning alternatives. Gel
and gas fire features avoid smoke and require little to no cleanup. Increasingly, gel
based fire features are being utilized to avoid the need for bulky propane tanks and the
need for complex and expensive installation. For hosts who manage properties remotely
or want to reduce risk, this combination of convenience and guest appeal offered by
clean burning gel fuel is hard to beat.
An Easy Upgrade With Big Impact
For rental owners looking to capture the benefits of a fire feature without the cost,
hassle, or safety concerns of traditional options, tabletop models offer a smart solution.
Twisted Flames was designed with these priorities in mind: clean-burning gel fuel,
simple operation, and a enclosed flames. With no installation required and a cost of
under $100, it’s one of the fastest upgrades a host can make to boost guest satisfaction
and improve listing performance.
By adding the warm glow of firelight, you’re not just furnishing a property, you’re
creating an experience. And experiences are what today’s travelers are willing to pay
more for.
