How do YOU find us (besides here)?

We just got a booking last night and we asked the guests how they found us.  They had no idea!  They were just "searching the Internet."  That got us thinking...

It's probably no secret that we advertise our Gatlinburg cabins - All Decked Out and Smoky Mountain Tower - on a bunch of different websites.  Some of them cost us a lot of money - especially for what we get.  Others are free, but rarely give us any leads.  So we have three questions for you.  We'll tell you about some of our sites and hope that you will PLEASE send back some comments.  Also, it would be great if you could share this with others so we can get some good feedback.

Here are our main advertising sites:

• VRBO
• HomeAway
• VacationRentals
• Flipkey
• TripAdvisor
• VacationRentalPeople
• ConnectingRentals

...and, of course, IVacationOnLine, which is our reservation site.  Of course, we also have our own sites - www.SmokiesRentDirect.com/All-Decked-Out and www.SmokyMountainTower.com.

QUESTIONS:

• When you're looking for a vacation home/cabin to rent, do you just do a search, or do you go to one of the sites mentioned above?
• If you go to a site, which one?
• Do you use their special search tools to narrow your search (like searching only for properties managed by the owner, or for a certain number of bedrooms? 

We know this isn't a proper 'survey,' but we'd love to hear your comments about how you find a vacation rental.  THANK YOU!
