Checking Out

Check-Out 

Unless other arrangements have been made, check-out time is no later than 11:00 am. 

During busy time-periods, it’s essential that our guests observe the agreed-upon arrival and departure times to ensure we have enough time to prepare the house. Late departure could result in deduction from deposit. Please see signed rental agreement.

However, we know what it’s like to want to linger a bit. If you have an interest in staying a bit longer, please just send us a note via VRBO/HomeAway or text Joshua at 312-504-6324 and if we can accommodate, we’re happy to do so.

Check-Out procedures

Your cleaning fee includes all the essentials for after you depart. But before you leave, we do ask that you tend to a couple things:

1. Place trash in the black trash-bins outside and place recycling in the blue recycling bins (to the side of the garage). Note that plastic trash bags aren’t recyclable, so we ask that you dump loose recyclable objects directly into the bin.

2. Please fill the dishwasher with remaining dishes and run. Leave no dirty dishes in the sink.

3. Place any non-white bath towels in the clothes-basket in the linens closet across from the washer and dryer. White bath towels, hand towels and wash clothes can be left in the bathrooms.

4. Place any furniture that’s been moved back where it was when you arrived. Note there is a fee for any furniture (outside dining room chairs) that has been rearranged. See contract.

5. Clean out cabinets of any foodstuff and clear refrigerator of any perishables, drinks, etc. and take with you. We will toss anything left behind and would hate for it to go to waste.

6. Wipe down kitchen counters.

7. If you brought dogs, please survey the front yard and area around the house and clean-up after them.

8. Double check for anything left behind.
