Q: Can I check-in early or check-out late?

A: This information can be found in our Rental Rules and Policies.

Q: Where do I get the keys?

A: Keys are either located in a lock box at the home or you can access the home via an electronic lock. Details about the location of the lock box and the code will be provided to you upon final payment for your reservation. Please refer to the driving directions and instructions for the lock box located in your final confirmation letter. Please share this information with other guests in your party, as we are only able to release addresses and lock box codes to the reservation holder.

Q: I was required to pay a security deposit up front for the home I rented.  When will that be refunded to me?

A: All security deposits are refunded within 14 days after your stay.  If any amount of the deposit is withheld due to violation of rental policies, damage to the home or excessive cleaning, you will be notified at that time.

Q: What is provided in the home?

A: All linens, towels, basic kitchen essentials and coffee filters are provided.  We also stock the home with an initial supply of items such as toilet paper, paper towels, laundry soap and dish soap.  For most guests, the initial supply is enough however, we have found it helpful for some to bring extra.  This is especially recommended for larger groups or guests staying for more than three nights.  We do not stock any food items in the home so please bring all food you will need for your stay, including spices (if needed—we do supply salt and pepper).

Q: What do I do if something goes wrong at the home during our stay?

A: For any medical or fire emergencies, please call 911.  For emergencies pertaining to the home (i.e. cable/internet goes out, hot tub issues, housekeeping issues, etc.) we do have a 24-hour answering service as well as on-call housekeeping and maintenance staff.  1-800-224-7660

Q: What is required of me at check-out?

A: A list of check-out procedures can be found in the information binder located in every home.  Basically, we ask that you strip the beds, make sure there aren’t any dirty dishes left in the sink and leave the key in the lock box.  It’s pretty easy and straight-forward.  But, each home may be slightly different, so please refer to the list of check-out procedures for your specific home.

Q: Where should we park when we arrive at the home?

A: There are parking limitations and instructions listed for each home (in your final confirmation letter as well as at the home).  Please respect the parking instructions—they are in place due to city/county ordinances.  Failure to follow the parking instructions can result in fines from city authorities as well as Meredith Lodging.  Please plan your stay according to the allotted amount of allowed vehicles.
