Leaving Instructions
We’re so happy you came to stay with us! Here’s how you can help us make the place ready for our cleaners:
Kitchen – Please either wash your dishes or load the dishwasher and start it before you leave.
Please note that putting the detergent in the dishwasher—and not actually starting the dishwasher—causes hardship to our cleaning crew.
Linens & Towels – Please leave the linens on your beds and place your used towels in the laundry basket (in the main house bathroom) and in the laundry room (in the cottage).
Breakages & Damages – We understand that sometimes things break or get damaged; please let us know immediately if this happens so we can replace it for the next guest. If it’s small, just leave or $10 or $20 to cover costs; if it’s bigger, we will work out an agreeable compensation for getting it fixed. Just please let us know asap.
Courtesy – If you have moved any furniture, please place it back in its original position.
Temperature – Please set the thermostat in the main house and cottage to 68 in the winter, or 78 in the summer. The wall unit in the Queen Master in the main house can be turned off when you leave.
Trash – Leave up to three bags of trash in the kitchen. If you have more than three bags, please take your bags to the Watauga Waste Convenience Center located at 5400 NC-194, Banner Elk, NC 28604 (8am – 7pm Mon, Wed, Fri, Sat) or at 336 Landfill Rd, Boone, NC 28607 (open every day except Sunday). All trash left at the house must actually be in bags since it will be hand-carried out! Extra bags are located underneath the kitchen sink.
Door – Please lock the cottage and leave the key on the kitchen bar. Then just hit the lock icon on the electronic door lock as you leave.
Review! – Help us spread the word about this special place by giving us an excellent review on Airbnb. If your stay here was less than excellent, please let us know in the private comments so we can make it better.
