They can clean it themselves or pay my housecleaning service to do it for them for about $120.. I always have housekeeping check the cottages on change over days and if they have to clean because the renters did not then I pay them out of the security deposit.. Just remember that everyone has a different idea of clean.. I have had some fanatastic renters who leave it spotless, just as they found it, but there are those who don't!! Cleaning the cottage,

This is what I have in place in my cottage this summer, and I have added the cleaning charge to my rental rate.

They are still expected to leave it in a reasonable condition, do dishes etc. Also common is the requirement that you bring your own bedding (sheet, pillows, duvet) or pay an extra charge (less applicable to the more upmarket end of the market).
