Guest Guidelines

Thank you for booking your treasured vacation through Homestead! We appreciate the importance and expense of your vacation and are honored that you have chosen Homestead. Our goal is to give you a stress-free vacation experience. Knowing that you could choose a hotel or B&B for your vacation we are excited you chose a rental property. A rental property offers you the space and convenience for your family to relax and enjoy your time together while enjoying all the comforts of home. 

A rental property does not come with front desk service however, Homestead is there to assist you with any issues that may arise with the property. We are just a text or phone call away offering you 24/7 after-hours emergency assistance. We value our relationship and want you to know that you are in trusted hands.

  • Nights can be cool in the summertime. You may consider bringing sweaters and/or sweatshirts.
  • Rentals during the spring and fall can have some cooler nights.  You may want to bring extra blankets/quilts. 
  • Paper towels, toilet paper, detergents, trash bags and condiments (salt, pepper, sugar etc.) are not provided for your stay however, there are times a prior tenant will leave some of these items behind for your use.
