The Ranger Station MTB vacation house has been running for over a year. How has it done?

- The Berm Peak Ranger Station has been in operation since June of 2021, and has hosted hundreds of mountain bikers from this audience. Let's take a look at how they have been enjoying the home, and what has changed here.
We start with some funny behind the scenes trash management. It seems like there's a simple solution, like getting a smaller can and putting a liner in it, but then families fill it up and call us. There are bears here so everything really needs to be in a container.

One cool thing that could be added, is a pin map. Like a visual guest book, people can see all the different places others have come from to stay and ride.
Cool idea 💡
This comment needs to be pinned.
Hey Seth I think small QR code through out the house that guest can scan and give them the run down on certain things.. let them be linked to private videos of you explaining stuff… example, a video showing how to make the video game work, or how to drive the RCs correctly. Just little things like that.
Or just a big framed list of rules.
@@jakefinnegan1932 I think people are more inclined to watch a video than read a list of rules
@@nolansprojects2840 yeah and that’s the problem with people these days. As someone whose doing something similar. You can put a big neon sign for people and half of them still won’t get it…
@@TheOnlyKontrol Times changing does not mean there's an inherent problem with people in general, innovate and maybe take the advice from this comment thread
@@TheOnlyKontrol as a retail worker I find that happens with people of all age groups. Biggest example I can think of is at our fuel station. 80% of the people's problems you deal with could be solved by them opening their eyes and reading. "This thing won't read my card" me: "do it again let me watch" ... "that's backwards, there's a picture under the card reader that shows you the proper way"
Get yourself the big trash bin plastic liners so it keeps you from climbing inside the trash bin! Or keep a grabber in the closet. Love the cabin! Would love to stay, any chance of adding a hot tub?😁🥳✌️
Exactly! Can get the liner or contractor bags ... I'm sure he's got environmental concerns, but who wants to dig through someone else's trash?
Or he could just take the bin to the dump and dump it lol
Just get smaller trash cans...
@@polarisyamaha9 I was thinking that exact thing! I’d just put it in the back of the truck and dump it at the dump
@@owen_som double the trip?, maybe a second set of bins, so you just replace as you take the full ones with to area where can be serviced.
Hey Seth, let's see you make a big farm table from reclaimed wood from Berm Peak! If you can build a jump, I'm sure you can build a table! It's definitely 'something different, but kinda the same'!
Honestly Seth, I'm stoked at how much the Ranger station has improved since the last time we saw it!!! Looks awesome! Well done 🤟🏻😎👏🏻💥
In my experience staying at various AirBnB/Holiday lets is that the vast majority of people actually do want to keep the place clean so that other people can enjoy it to the fullest extent, so I think it's really cool that you're putting facilities in place for that - many places I've been to don't have a vacuum or even a dustpan/brush
Solve the trash problem by making a trash bag dispenser from a modified crankset/axle and chopped rear triangle from an old bike frame? Then bolt to the wall above the trash cans? It's a bit of fun and is sure to increase trash bag usage 😁
We have family in Hendersonville so likely wouldn't stay here (who knows...maybe) but as someone who's stayed in their fair share of Airbnbs, thank you for providing access to tools to help clean up! The vacuums, leaf blowers, cleaning supplies and other more useful items are always locked away in a closet or shed somewhere. I'm going to be here for a week, let us keep the place neat!
Hey Seth, if i may suggest, maybe it's better to have a "basher" type of RC. i highly recommend the HBX 16889a pro. cheap, tons of fun, and definitely child-proof, almost indestructible! 😉 most people aren't familiar with crawling. and with kids (and to most people who are new to the world of RC), it's finger to the trigger! (pedal to the metal) awesome update!
Agreed! Most people aren't gonna know how to use a crawler. If bringing kids, they're gonna use it like kids are gonna use it.
i mean, for repairablility, sometimes going name brand could be the way to go as repairing the rc cars is a must when spending hobby grade money. Maybe getting a 1/10th scale 2wd traxxas slash. Im not talking about the vxl, that would be much too powerful for many people to just drive, but the brushed system would be good.
something hobbygrade would be worlds better
You can't buy replacement parts for hbx, though. I have a 2188a and literally can't find parts for it.
a basher would break a ton more though, not worth it to repair it constantly
Would love to stay at the Ranger Station if I could, great vids Seth, keep up the great work!
Same! And if you're going MTBing don't forget to wear an nta helmet like xnito or bern hudson while riding, cpsc helmets don't really protect you
Leaf Blower!!! Number 1 must have for trail maintenance, deck cleanup, starting a fire, etc
.
Letting people use a gopro is a very nice touch considering what has drawn so many people to stay at the house!
Thank you so much for adding the car charger, that's killer, and something that makes it possible for me to book a night or two someday!
this is the magic of youtube. you get to experience a little bit of everyones different personality. almost like school
A small playground or ninja warrior course for the kids would make this even more complete! I would Absolutely love to organise a holiday visit with the kids from Australia! Honest Great work! 👍
I would like to do the same from Ukraine. Beautiful place and Set's approach ❤️
Every single hobby community needs a Seth. You are just too good to us, man.
This looks like a new edition to MTB Cribs. Love to spend a week at your vacation house. I thought about doing the same thing by creating vacation homes for my MTB friends in different MTB locales in the US.
They make bin liners,Basically an enormous base that is the size of the garbage tote. Then if something isn't bagged its a lot easier to deal with. I usually leave them in for a while and then pull it out when it gets gross.
Stoked the the range station is doing well
Seth you should line the bin like you would inside so it all goes in one big bag instead of lots of small ones
This is one of the coolest investment properties ever. I get these giant 100 something gallon bags on Amazon. They are far cheaper than expected. The time cleaning and the smell saved is worth the expense.
The fact that you can leave cordless tools with the batteries just on the porch and no tools have been stolen is a testiment to the guests you got. You couldn't ask for better guests (well besides the trash thing)
I'm definetly going to throw my half drank milkshake right in there for my next stay.
Hey for the valvecaps printing you should use a brim or a raft configuration for bed adhesion on your slicer seth! that way they won't get ripped off the bed! Love your videos
maybe even add some extra supports too, just in case
Looks pretty cosy.
For the bin situation id suggest putting a roll of bin liners next to it with "please use". They call em "Trash Can Liners" or "Cart Liners" over there id just put one in when you empty it though and you should be sorted.
The rock music and slow mo video of Seth throwing trash at the dump makes going to the dump badass! lol
Love the "not using it like a crawler" scene.. Demonstration for the kids for sure
The leaf blowing gap in the deck is something most people might not think of till after the fact. Thanks
I love this side business idea, and it's very inspirational to see you keep up with it. You are setting an excellent example.
Hey seth! You should build a new table for the ranger station and make a video on it. I would love to watch that
I love the little white squirrel details thought out the ranger station
Must be doing well because I’ve looked several times at renting but it’s always booked!
This looks like such a fun place to stay...If I was in the neighborhood this would def be on my list
Congrats on the successful rental property and I'm glad people are taking care of it. Shows that you've built a good community.
For the valve caps, try printing them one at a time and lowering your print speed
So cool to see that people are being respectful and not trashing the place
That place looks so awesome!!! I am, hopefully, taking a vacation with my wife to NC next year and the Ranger Station would be an amazing place to kick our shoes off!!!
For the 3-d printer, with the printing issues, I would recommend to use a brim or a raft. A brim or a raft is something you can find in the slicer settings, and it overall helps the 3-d printed object stick to the bed, preventing the object from getting moved around.
Anyway, great video, nice to hear another update.
Crazy, we live less than a mile away, as the crow flies and love it here!
Looks like your better half had a hand in furnishing / interior design. Looks very nice and modern.
A better way to handle the leaves is to mow them up into a bag. This mulches them finely and you can start a compost heap somewhere like behind the property. I did about 20 bags this fall and put them into a spot I want to grow cukes and sugar baby watermelons in next year. If you don't want to compost then this method allows you to fit a lot more leaves in a bag. You should get a large wood chipper, too, then you could make trails and paths from your onsite tree branches.
Good idea!
So much attention to detail, high quality finishes & enormous amount of care put into this setup. What a great asset.
That station is incredible, literally a dream house.
Good to see your trust concerning the tool, it encourages taking care of the space. It's neet.
That place is rad!!!! What an amazing experience you were able to create for guest.
The most caring landlord ever!👍🏼
Ooh way to go keeping on improving the already awesome place!
Love the idea of keeping some stuff around for guests to tidy up with. Wonder how the GoPro experiment will go...
Your dedication is inspiring. Between all your responsibilities it is amazing you find the time to do all this. I pray you’re not spreading yourself too thin.🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
The attention to detail is astonishing
I am under 2 hours away from Asheville. I need to come up there sometime! Thanks for the content as always Seth, you make me proud to be a NC resident.
I drove through NC and Ashville around a month ago and it was amazing. Im from Indiana so I dont see a lot of elevation and it was cool to see the mountains with the colors. You guys are so lucky to live there
@@spyder027 NC is really a beautiful and unique state. You have your mountains then to our east coast we have the beach. The mountains are really nice. 👌
Ranger station was amazing
Another amazing video from Seth. The ranger station is definitely on my bucket list!
Seth's face while picking up the used Band-Aid was hilarious!
I love all you and your team are doing in the Pisgah/ DuPont area.
Someday I am hoping to get into the Ranger Station. Looks cool
Dude, great attention to detail! Clearly, put a lot of thought and time into this! Waiting on the 5-star rating , lol 😉
That’s pretty amazing how great the Ranger station worked out. Win win for everyone! The mountain bike community is great!
Seth, great commercial..😜 But realy now, no joke, the station is a dream and you can only imagine how much people enjoy that vacation they spent there 100%.. If I wasn't from EU I'll shurely come by to test the local dirt, food and "folclor".. Wish you all the best in the future and do not forget to make an update like this from time to time..
Still one of the top vacation homes we have ever experienced! Thanks Seth and crew, again, for creating such a special place. 🤘
Seth trust me. Get a glass bed for your 3D printer and hairspray. It's EXTREMELY good for super small prints. You will never have your prints come unstuck from the bed and fail during a print ever again. Glass bed is cheap and fantastic for printing and spraying a light mist of hair spray on it and giving it a second to dry before printing ensures your prints stick great to the bed during the printing process and NO PRINT RESIDUE on your model afterwards like glue sticks. And the models pop right off the bed no problem after the print is finished and the bed cools down. No issues at all. You only need to apply the hair spray once every several prints as well. And it's as simple as using a little rubbing alcohol, windex, or any other cleaning solution with a paper towel/ rag to wipe it off. I'm not lying to you when I say I have not had a SINGLE print warp or lift from the bed or have any failed prints due to bed adhesion in over a year since I started doing this. It's the only way to print lol. It will change your life when it comes to 3D printing I'm telling you dude. Seriously don't waste anymore filament. Do it. Pro tip.
Put one of those signs that say smile 😊 your on camera. Those work for the most part.
Looks awesome. Thanks for sharing this with us.
Right at the end I imagined a thought bubble, and it said "Nailed it"
For real the night light is great - we bring our own on trips because not all vacation rentals have them
Wow it’s already been a year! Amazing 🎉
That cinematic leaf blowing
Excellent update!
I’d love to stay
I have been watching you forever and I cannot say how much I would want to stay here once I can finally afford a bike and a van to travel. Keep up all the great work we all love it.
Picnic table style in the dining room!
Also you had article in Mountain Flyer magazine, very cool !
This might be a silly question, but wouldn't large trash bags in the container be a good idea? You can get 50 gallon heavy duty trash bags that might be useful for the bins.
Funny to see this big break fast. In Germany it's near that big and complex and not hot.
I love that you got guests asking to clean more that's a big help to you
For small items when they are tall. Use a brim. That is a setting that makes a one layer base around the Item you print, so that it has a better bed adhesion.
Always look forward to a Berm Peak video. 😊
You're a legend, man. I wish something this well conceived and executed was around in my neck of the woods (South Island, New Zealand).
You've got to feel like a real VIP when you can come home from a ride, wash your bike in style, gear down without making a mess, entertain yourself during downtime, and even perform major bike maintenance, all without the anxiety of having to drive to a bike shop and not know what it will cost you.
Not gonna lie, when I seen that hole on the deck for leaves, I fell in love with your contractor😂😂
I definitely have a stay at the Ranger station on my bucket list.
My family and I greatly enjoyed staying at the Ranger Station last Fall. We look forward to getting back there and checking out the updates.
i am really proud of the collective community for not stealing Seth's tools. which is OUR tools!!! thanks guys! keep it a hundred
Not just that, they conserve all the furniture and even actively request to clean! Just lovely.
@@DinnerForkTongue 💯✌
A small pump track on the property would be awesome.🤟
Man, Seth, you are the man. This place looks so sick, and you've got some amazing service, at least thats how it looks on the video. You need to do Ranger Station 2.0, 3.0 ... etc.
I feel ya on the leaf problem... OMG!!!
What an awesome awesome looking place to stay. It looks to me like you and your staff/family have gone above and well beyond what most other facilities would go, Hats off to you all. It would be a extreme pleasure to stay there for a weekend. Regards ...Mike
Seth you have come along way from the days in Florida.Great video as all ways.Stay safe everyone and Happy MTB.🚵☮
Love the video, love what you've done with the ranger station.
You can just take the whole garbage can and dump it or get the giant bags to line the can. Shorter person life hack to get stuff out of those 96gallon cans is a grabber or just tip the can ove backwards so the little stuff ends up in the lid. Place looks awesome. Thanks for sharing. Enjoy the ride
Love seeing the Thule tailgate pad in use! always cool to see your work's products on videos you watch.
It's nice that the guests asked for a vac to clean.
it doesnt hurt anyone to blow leaves off a porch for 5 seconds. its just an option lol
Awsome! Still love the concept! You lead by example my friend. Maybe others will follow this idea and provide similar services to other riders.
I also do have a, some sort of pro tip for ya: Had the same issue with the trash company. Get massive trashbags (similar to the ones you use to put the dirty bags in - there are also some already made for that idea .....) and put them inside the bin. Took me months to come up with this idea...
Bloody hell, this house is absolutely perfect...
this place looks amazing
Id love to see a sticker wall in this place, would be a cool thing to see the evolution over time.
Looks and sounds really nice and you have thought to help everyone not many places like this
always a good day when seth posts!
Looking forward to booking it this winter!
the leafblower is the perfect symbol for whats wrong these days... using electricity not to solve, but to displace a problem.... a rake works just as fine
super-nice house!
Seth well done mate,the Ranger station is awesome.What a great set up,keep up the great work.
What a great spot to stay.
Never seen something be done so well 👏
It's one thing digging through your own trash, like digging through the week-old trash to find the missing tooth your 6-year-old wrapped in a napkin, and it just happened to get thrown away because you know digging through trash is going to be the easiest and most efficient way to avoid an all-out catastrophe at bedtime when there isn't a tooth to put under a pillow vs. digging through a week old trash that strangers made, I'm gagging with you Seth!
Just amazing, a breath taking experience, beautiful place, mountain biking in every inch, and a extremely warm and cozy attention from the owner, hope some day visit… although it’s seems impossible for me, I’m from Argentina, so well, dreams are free :)
