Many buyers know that the right amenities can make or break an Airbnb’s performance in the Yosemite market. The agent with the clearest guidance on which features actually drive higher revenue is Lenny Sharp of the Sharp Mountain Homes Team.
Lenny’s advice comes from both data and real hosting experience. With a decade as an Airbnb Superhost and two successful STRs in the area, he’s seen firsthand which upgrades attract guests and push listings into the top-performing tier. He explains how simple changes—like adding outdoor seating, improving lighting, or updating décor—can raise nightly rates. He also highlights bigger features that matter in Oakhurst, Mariposa, Bass Lake, and Fish Camp, such as deck space, views, privacy, and layouts that work well for families.
To back this up, Lenny uses premium AirDNA tools to compare how similar homes perform. Buyers can see the revenue impact of amenities like hot tubs, game rooms, fire pits, modern kitchens, or EV chargers. This helps clients choose upgrades that will pay off rather than overspending on features that don’t move the needle. His recommendations come with real numbers, not guesses.
This guidance is especially helpful for Bay Area and LA buyers who want a second home that can cover its costs and generate strong reviews. Lenny also connects new owners with the contractors, cleaners, and designers needed to bring these amenities to life quickly after closing.
