Generally, you will file Schedule C for your short-term vacation rental if: The average guest rents the property for fewer than 7 days, OR. The average guest stay is fewer than 30 days AND you provide guests with “substantial services”

No, Schedule C is only if "services" are provided (such as maid service or meals).  The Short-Term aspect has nothing to do with putting it on Schedule C (other than that short-term is more likely to provides such "services").

Enter the income.  Enter the expenses paid.

@TaxGuyBill Where would you write off the rent she paid to rent it

Line 19 of Schedule E seems to have the best description.

However, was there any personal use?  If so, I don't think 19 will treat it correctly and you might need to fiddle around with some manual calculations.
