Thanks to our wonderful property owners and amazing guests, our places stay pretty booked up — which means our rockstar cleaning crew only has a short 5-hour window to work their magic between stays.
If any flexibility opens up for your dates, we’ll be sure to reach out and offer it ahead of time. Otherwise, if you'd like a little extra time to ease in or out, we recommend booking the night before or after.
🔥GRILLS & LP TANKS:
Our owners generously provide grills at no cost. However, full LP tanks aren’t guaranteed. We do our best to make sure there’s at least 1/3 of a tank ready for you. If you need more, refills or exchanges are up to you.
✨ STARTER KIT:
To help you settle in, we provide:
• 🧻 One roll of toilet paper per bathroom
• 🧼 One roll of paper towels
(If you’re staying longer or with a group, you might want to bring along a few extras just in case!)
Thanks so much for understanding — we can’t wait to host you! 😊
