We’re shedding light on why we, at CottageLINK Rental Management (CLRM), prioritize maintaining a minimum standard inventory across our properties and how it significantly contributes to the overall satisfaction of our guests’ experience, whether they’re staying at an economic 2-bedroom traditional cottage, or a large 8 bedroom lakeside mansion.
Why We Require Our Registered Property Owners to Maintain a Minimum Standard Inventory
At CLRM, ensuring a consistent and high-quality experience for our guests is paramount. It’s all about enhancing the guests’ experience. We want your guests to love their cottage vacation and want to return again and again, the maintenance of a minimum standard inventory helps ensure your guests’ vacation goes off without a hitch! Therefore, we have established a set of guidelines that all registered property owners must adhere to, including the maintenance of a minimum standard inventory. This practice serves several purposes:
- Consistency: By maintaining a standard inventory across all properties, we ensure consistency in the guest experience. Whether guests book a cozy cabin or a lakeside retreat, they can expect certain amenities and essentials to be readily available.
