Self employed
Here's the key point from the link @Bsch4477 cited:
When you rent out your home, make bookings and provide amenities or services, like coffee or breakfast, the IRS may treat you as being self-employed in the vacation rental business.
Here's the IRS take:

Providing substantial services.
If you provide substantial services that are primarily for your tenant's convenience, such as regular cleaning, changing linen, or maid service, you report your rental income and expenses on Schedule C........Substantial services don’t include the furnishing of heat and light, cleaning of public areas, trash collection, etc.
It has been generally accepted that cleaning and the like means cleaning during the tenant's stay (i.e., during the tenant's occupancy).
