What To Bring (And What Not To Bring) When Staying In A Rental Cabin
Posted by Leif Palmer in Rental Cabins
We hope you've already made plans to stay in a cabin in Wears Valley, TN this year. But whether you plan to stay with us, or even another company, in the near future, there are generally quite a few features and amenities that you can expect from your chosen rental property. After all, it's all about making guests feel as comfortable and relaxed as possible while vacationing in the Smokies.
Because we have so much to offer in each of our cabins, guests typically need not bring along a number of essential items from home. For example, all of our bathrooms come with a starter supply of toilet paper, while towels, linens and pillows are provided as well. Of course, if you have a preferred brand of toilet paper or a favorite pillow from home that you must have to sleep well, you are certainly welcome to bring those with you if you like. If you're planning to go to a water attraction of some kind, you may also want to bring your own beach towels from home.
Our kitchens are very well equipped, starting with all the major appliances like ovens and refrigerators as well as smaller appliances like coffee makers and microwaves. You will find all the cookware and dishes you'll need as well, including pots and pans, skillets, plates, silverware and glasses. We also provide limited supplies of items like dishwashing liquid and trash bags. Many of our cabins have charcoal grills (instead of gas), but you are responsible for providing your own charcoal, and you may want to bring your own barbecue tools as well.
You are similarly responsible for supplying your own food, but our properties are generally a short drive from the nearest supermarket or convenience store. And depending on the owner, some properties might include basic food staples like seasonings. It's a good idea to check to see what is already on hand before making your trip to the market for supplies.
Our cabins usually have washers and dryers on site, but to be on the safe side, you might want to bring your favorite brand of laundry detergent from home if you're planning on doing a few loads while you're staying with us.
You can generally expect to find at least one DVD player in your rental cabin. Often, the owners will also have a library of movies for you to watch available in the cabin, but you are welcome to bring some from your own collection to watch as well. The same goes for books and board games. Many cabins have their own titles on hand, but you are always free to bring your favorites from home.
If you're not sure and still have any questions about items that you should or should not bring on your next trip to one of our cabins, feel free to call us any time and ask about the property you're staying in. We'll be glad to offer whatever help we can to make sure that your next stay with Timbercreek Cabins is an enjoyable one.
