Preparing Your Cottage For The Rental Season
                     Preparing Your 
Cottage For The 
Rental Season 
01 Clean and 
Declutter 
The first step is to clean your cottage thoroughly and 
remove any clutter that has accumulated over the 
winter months. This includes wiping down surfaces, 
dusting furniture, and vacuuming carpets. You should 
also remove any personal items such as family 
photos or clothing to make the space feel more 
neutral. 
Check for 02 
Repairs 
Before the rental season begins, check 
your cottage for any necessary repairs or 
maintenance. This can include fixing 
leaky faucets, repairing broken tiles, and 
replacing any outdated appliances. This 
will not only make your cottage more 
attractive to renters, but it will also 
prevent any potential issues from arising 
during their stay. 
03 Stock up 
on Supplies 
Make sure your cottage is well-stocked with essential 
supplies such as toilet paper, paper towels, and 
cleaning products. You should also provide fresh 
linens, towels, and blankets for your guests to use 
during their stay. 
Create a Welcome 04 
Package 
To make your guests feel more at home, 
consider creating a welcome package 
that includes information about the area, 
local attractions, and recommendations 
for restaurants and shops. You can also 
include small touches such as fresh 
flowers or a bottle of wine to make their 
stay more memorable. 
 
05 Outdoor 
Maintenance 
Don't forget about the outside of your cottage! Make 
sure your yard is well-maintained, including mowing 
the lawn and trimming bushes. You should also check 
any outdoor furniture for signs of wear and tear and 
replace or repair as necessary.
