The Little Things That Make Overnight Guests Feel at Home

Hosting family for a weekend is one of the joys of having a home. The guests who leave happy usually remember small, thoughtful things, not the size of the room.

Sleep in your own guest bed

Spend one night in it. You'll find out quickly if the mattress needs a topper, the blinds let in streetlight, or the room runs cold.

Put the essentials where they can find them

Extra blankets, a phone charger near the bed, towels set out, and the Wi-Fi password on a card. A small basket with toothpaste, a toothbrush and a few toiletries saves anyone who forgot something.

Give them some space

Clear a drawer and a few hangers, and leave a spot to set a suitcase. A lamp they can switch off from the bed makes a bigger difference than you'd think.

Share your local favorites

Leave a short list of your favorite coffee shop, a walk by the lake and a dinner spot. It's a nice way to show off the place you call home.
