I have photographed a lot of Airbnb listings. Vermont cabins tucked into the Green Mountains, lakeside cottages with jaw-dropping views, farmhouses with wide plank floors and woodstoves that smell like winter — and also, honestly, some spaces that had every ingredient for a stunning listing but were completely invisible on the platform because no one had ever given them the visual attention they deserved.

If you’ve ever dreamed of escaping to a cozy, design-forward A-frame in the woods, this Waterbury, Vermont short-term rental might just be your ideal getaway. And as a Vermont short-term rental photographer, this is the kind of space that makes my creative heart sing.

If you're a short-term rental owner, you've probably heard it before: photos are everything. They’re your first impression on Airbnb, your silent sales team, and the #1 factor that helps guests decide if your place is worth the click—and the nightly rate. ​ But what actually happens when you hire a professional photographer for your STR?
