Inventory checklist
Updated over a week ago

Below is a helpful checklist of items you should have in your home so guests have a great experience.

Chances are that you already own many of these items, but it’s a good idea to double check this list for anything you may be missing.

Keep in mind that if any items below could run out during a guests stay (such as toilet paper), it is a good idea to have backup available and easily accessible for your guests.
