Complimentary snacks and water, upon arrival; in addition there is limited breakfast fare in the freezer/fridge, K-cups, ground coffee, teas and hot beverages; once exhausted, you will need to supply your own. Let us know if you're celebrating a special occasion!! :-) TheCottage@BlueRidgeMt. DOES NOT permit smoking, NOR PETS/ANIMALS anywhere on the property; No exceptions as owners are highly/deathly allergic, and has severe asthma! You WILL be billed the cost for processing if this rule is violated; it costs thousands of dollars to make it safe again for owners. WE DO NOT SPEED WASH LINENS, they go through a full cycle! From the mattress pad, everything on the bed, both the shower curtain/liner, door mats, blankets, pillows, pen/pencils, fan chains and blades, lamp/switches, info binders and all pages, floors, door jambs and surrounding walls, inside of windows and their locks, and much more, is either washed or sanitized! All living room furniture is wiped down as well as the table and chairs in the kitchen. The return air vent has a HEPA filter, and an organic Thymol fogger is used for the duct system; there are filters in every register which are cleaned between each guest. Everything in the spice pantry is disinfected for the next guest, and anything in the fridge as well as the fridge itself. The ice bin and tongs are washed between each guest and filled with fresh ice along with fresh ice in each ice tray. The outside of snacks packages which are in their baskets are wiped along with the basket as we assumed THEY HAVE BEEN TOUCHED. If the table has a tablecloth and has been set, everything is clean, and the table was set the day before your arrival; feel free to make full use of them; please do not worry about soiling the tablecloth ( if there's one) as it gets washed between guests. We don't just pay attention to the big cleaning stuff, we remember the tiny details as well. We have sets of linen for beds so they may vary from what is shown in pictures. Please note that although there is contact-less check in; owners may stop by to say hello depending on the length of your visit; we are only a few doors away....really. This is the country, watch out for wild life, watch where you step, and please remember, as with the operating of any exterior door open, bugs will get in - it's nature :-) IF YOU DO NOT KNOW HOW TO SEND DOCUMENTS TO US , WE WOULD BE HAPPY TO ASSIST BUT YOU HAVE TO RESPOND TO US IN ORDER FOR US TO HELP YOU!
