Home Furnishing Improvement Program

Guests that book the McGee House for 2 months or more receives the option to suggest up to $300 in new home furnishings

  • Furnishings such as kitchen equipment, electronics, outdoor items, etc.
  • For example, if guests would really like to have a gourmet set of knives (and maybe some other kitchen items) at the house, they can suggest a knife set (and other items) (up to $300), and this will be ordered by the McGee house owner for inclusion in the house.
  • Guests can suggest multiple items to come to $300.
  • This allows guests to make small “personalizations” to the house for their stay.
  • And allow the host to continually improve the house (in a customer-directed manner).
  • This is offered at no cost to the guest.
  • Item(s) remains at the house after the guest leaves (that is, these are not gifts for the guests).
  • The item/items suggested will be “installed” into the house as quickly as possible after the request is made (pending evaluation against the house's green purchasing policy) (e.g., if new drink ware is suggested, because recycled glass drink ware is generally available, new drink ware must be made from recycled glass) - green purchasing policy is available on request.

Example items a guest could choose:

  • Lux Bath Towels: e.g., quick-drying Japanese-style ones from Onsen.
  • Cookware: e.g., Fry Pan or set from Ikea.
  • Recycled Glass Drinkware: e.g., from West Elm.
  • French Press: e.g., from Bodum.
  • Gourmet Knives: e.g., from Top Chef.
  • Ceramic Dinnerware: e.g., from Year&Day.
  • Outdoor furniture: e.g., from Ikea.
  • Gaming System: e.g., Sony Playstation.
