Is it going to be a cabin for rent or is it going to be multiple rooms, like a motel?
Cable or satalite for the evenings.
1/2 ways decent tv's
If it's a cabin - cheap washer and dryer are really nice for longer stays.
As said befor - very close to or right on a trail or very good trail access, plenty of parking space for trucks and bigger trailers - From my experience I would say that trail access and parking are paramount.

Let's see - northwest Wisc. I bet you bought the Plywood Palace and are planning to refurbish it a little.

Easy access to outside plug ins for those that have diesels. Easy access to gas.
You already bought the place, so location is set, although good trail access is important (make sure if all possible there is a snow-covered path to the trail). I like the comment about multiple beds. If gas isn't nearby, it might help to keep a small amount on hand, even if it's 2 or 3 five gallon jugs (for emergencies). If food isn't nearby, maybe having some easy to prepare food available - tombstone pizzas for example. Have someone at the front desk who is knowledgeable about local trails, dealerships, and likes snowmobilers. Availability to some commonly needed items such as a few different quarts of oil, a limited selection of tools that can be borrowed for parking lot repairs would be good, along with having a phone number for someone who could help pick up a dead sled. If you have a small area where people can do some basic repairs (this can be a large shed with a reddy heater), that would probably by in your best interests to avoid motel room mechanics. Just a few rambling ideas...most important is to make the snowmobilers feel welcome by helping take care of the common problems is the idea. I would keep a close eye on things though to control the bad apples that show up from time to time...
Well I guess you don't want to reveal location?
Anywho you need:
Groomed trail access from motel without that a no go for me.
Large lighted rig & sled parking also a must have.
Gas near by is a must have.
Queen size beds & CLEAN ROOM.
HD TV CNBC a must 1 in bedoom 1 in sitting area with recliner & sleeper sofa.
Hi speed Internet.
Food & Bar in walking distance.
We bring donuts & coffee maker for breakfast but at least a coffee maker in each room.
Small ice box.
Microwave.
In room fireplace gas OK.
In room 4 man hot tub.
1 sink inside bathroom & sink 2 outside bathroom.
Good hot soft water shower no stinky water.
Large rooms plenty of room to hang gear.
Rooms adjoin for large groups.
Heated repair shop with tools.
Dealership near by for parts.
Trail maps available.
Excellent groomed trail system without that no go & what brings people in 1st place.
Excellent snow fall need at least 100" a year to consider LES keeps trails fresh.
Area snowmobile friendly likes the fact we bring in the bucks no crazy DNR dudes doing dragnet.
Large Lakes nearby for for lake blast.
$75 to $100 a night maybe a bit more.

no bar so you need off sale and a big rec room like say other 1/2 of a pole barn workshop finished off .big tv's pool Foosball darts etc etc.
big hot tub would be nice.
so get to work get that poll barn up you should be Abel to get her done buy xmas lol
microwaves and coffee makers Minni fridge 42in led with blue ray wifi in every room.
how else can I help spend. oh how about a self serve car wash to clean dirty atvs and sleds.
rental or 2 for the guy who wants to come with no toy or the guy who blows ot hits a tree I think a 11 gade 800 and a 12 x-rs should work just fine and if those are gone you could prob get 50bucks a day for that highcountry

a common area to hang and bs.
In PM after good steak, kicking back, Bsing, drinking a few pops, grins & giggles about riding then take a few Lortabs so I can move my knee joints then falling asleep with TV on & good to go in AM. Also deceide next day route & who needs to fix what so we can hit trails in morning? No plan & people get pissy waiting for the weak link to get his sheet together. Usually the same guy every trip you have to manage & organize but that is what friends are for or you ride alone which is ok too. lol Works for us. If you don't want to ride you don't want me around I'm a big mile guy not happy unless we are on the move or playing in powder but don't like standing around at every fork in the trail pissen in snow. Reasonable pace is important to me. Also hate the Yahoo who pulls the hotel fire alarm at Red Light Ralley at 3AM.lol
