Communicating with the owner. You can do a research on ads, online or ask friends for a potential prospect. Should you find one, contact the manager or the owner. Inquire about the rates and availability. Advise about the number and the ages of those who will be occupying a specific cottage.
Negotiating. If you are satisfied with the type of cottage and the cost, inquire about mode of payment and policies regarding cancellations. Some will be asking for a credit card or check. Some will also agree to accept reservations and payments will be done once you arrived.
Learning about policies and other details Ask the owner to send you by mail the contact numbers as well as the procedure and essential details. By that, you will know more about the check out times, the services included, amenities and if they allow bringing pets. You should also know if they are providing toiletries and if you need to pay for requesting additional pillow or sheets. You can also further ask about kitchen facilities and if the cottage area is near to restaurants, grocery or local market.
Checking if everything is properly working. Once you arrived at the cottage, check for the lights, air conditioner, water and the heater to make sure that they are working well. See to it that it has been cleaned and well-organized. If there is an issue or a problem, it should be reported immediately.
Ensuring that everything is in order. Before leaving, see to it that it is clean and organize. Make sure that nothing has been damaged or else advise the owner so that you can properly pay for it. Do not ever forget to leave the key.
