The following is an extract from an IRS document which can be read in its entirety at this link:

Used as a home but rented less than 15 days.
If you use a dwelling unit as a home and
you rent it less than 15 days during the year, its primary function is
not
considered to be rental and it should not be
reported on Schedule E (Form 1040). You are not required to report the
rental
income and rental expenses from this activity. The
expenses, including qualified mortgage interest, property taxes, and any
qualified casualty loss will be reported as
normally allowed on Schedule A (Form 1040). See the Instructions for
Schedule
A (Form 1040) for more information on deducting
these expenses.
