Keeping A "House Book"

Compile a house book with practical information and instructions.  Explain how to turn on the heat, where to turn water and/or gas off, where to put garbage and recyclables, etc.  Explain in detail how to use appliances.  Please remember that what may be obvious to you may not be so obvious to someone from another part of the world.

Put grocery store discount cards on the key chains for your property.  Your guests will love them and you will loose fewer keys.  Tell them about the discount card in your information package so they don't load up at the grocery store before they arrive.

Your guests will also appreciate information about good local restaurants and places to visit, 'phone numbers and addresses of local doctors, dentists, hospitals, police and fire etc.  Some meticulous owners even go so far as to leave details of the kind of birds and other wildlife which can be seen in the garden and surrounding area.  If you have any restrictions such as "no smoking" it is suggested you reinforce these in your house book.
