Wifi, cable or satellite channels, Netflix, Apple TV, gaming consoles, sound system

Drinking water, coffee, tea, condiments, utensils, firewood
Maps, hotline numbers, guide books

Add credibility by sharing positive feedback from previous occupants. Service reviews are one of the top considerations of potential guests. Knowing that you consistently satisfy clients gives assurance and will draw in more bookings.
