★OUR CLEANING PROTOCOLS SET US APART★
We stay in multiple vacation rentals a year, and we know firsthand how the cleanliness of a rental can make or break a vacation. Unlike most vacation rentals, at Chicory Cottage we wash/change out all duvet covers, living room throw blankets, and living room throw pillow covers between every guest - in addition to all the typical bed sheets and pillowcases. We take cleaning very seriously and we don't cut corners. Our whole-home process is extremely extensive because we know that your relaxation and enjoyment depend on it. Our home is family-managed and cared for because we believe you deserve the highest level of guest experience, cleanliness, and peace of mind during your vacation.
