Transforming Wagon Box Inn: A Case Study in Revitalizing Historic Cabins with Wyo Stays
October 13, 2023
This is a subtitle for your new post

Introduction
In the heart of Story, Wyoming, lies the Wagon Box Inn
—a property rich in history but struggling in the modern age. With a collection of historic cabins that had seen better days, the Wagon Box was more of a liability than an asset. Enter Wyo Stays
, an end-to-end real estate brokerage specializing in vacation rentals and long-term property management. This case study delves into how Wyo Stays
transformed the Wagon Box Inn from a property with zero reservations to one boasting $5,000+ in Monthly Recurring Revenue (MRR) and an 98% occupancy rate within just 60 days.
The Challenge
Underutilized Assets
The Wagon Box Inn had a unique selling point—historic cabins that could offer guests an experience steeped in the rich culture of Wyoming. However, these cabins were run-down and had no reservations, making them a financial drain.
The Need for Expertise
The Wagon Box Inn's
management knew they needed help but weren't sure where to turn. They needed a partner with a proven track record in both property management and real estate to turn things around.
The Wyo Stays Solution
Comprehensive Strategy
Wyo Stays didn't just see a project; we saw an opportunity to revitalize a piece of Wyoming's history. We implemented a comprehensive strategy that included:
Property Assessment:
A thorough evaluation to identify necessary repairs and improvements.
Marketing:
Utilizing social media and targeted advertising to create awareness.
Booking Management:
Streamlining the reservation process to make it user-friendly.
Quick Wins
Within the first 30 days, Wyo Stays achieved:
- A 42% occupancy rate, up from zero.
- Over $3,000 in MRR, creating a new revenue stream for the Wagon Box Inn.
The Results
Short-Term Success
By the 60-day mark, the Wagon Box Inn had:
- 98% occupancy, a feat it hadn't achieved in years.
- An 80% average occupancy rate thereafter, consistently 20% higher than the area's average.
The success of this project wasn't just in the numbers. It was in transforming a historic property into a profitable venture, thereby preserving a piece of Wyoming's heritage.
