Discover what to include on your shopping list for hosting guests, with tips on resilient dishes and handy kitchen tools.
Highly recommend getting a basic one. Fancy cans break – expect lots of use and buy simple containers that will last. I typically purchase either a swing top or no top at all. Guests don’t care about this, so don’t spend a ton of money on it. I prefer black over silver because it never looks dirty
Box of LED lightbulbs under the sink in case one goes out. LED bulbs last years and cost very little to use
Microwave Required: 8 x 10 frame to display welcome letter and house info for guests.
We highly recommend that you purchase new furniture. Used furniture looks and feels used. Beware that upgrading furniture once you have a full calendar is very difficult. It’s better to buy it right the first time so that it will last 7-10 years instead of 1-2.
Highly recommend zippered, bed bug proof cover over the mattress. On top of that, a gathered, waterproof mattress cover
2 pillows for each guest per bed So a queen bed would have 4 pillows, a twin would have 2. No decorative pillow cases.
If patterned sheets are used, buy white pillow cases for back pillows. These can easily be cleaned between guests
They are great for sleeping and also help with the electric bill
Highly recommend 12” memory foam mattresses. Don’t go less than 12”. These come right to your door and are easy to install.
2 extra shower curtain liners under bathroom sink in each bathroom. These are cheap and a must for turnovers every few months.
Manual lockboxes One near the door, one is hidden on the property with extra keys inside. This is owner’s preference. If you choose to go keyless, have a plan for regular better replacement. Definitely hide a manual lockbox with a key to the keyless entry for easy guest/cleaner access if necessary
We recommend a simple charcoal grill and utensils with a cover and box to hold everything
If guests leave the exterior lights on, they turn off during the day.
