IMPORTANT INFO

• SAFETY - The Elmwood is equipped with two smoke detectors in the ceilings, plus a linked smoke detector in the garage below and a carbon monoxide detector plugged in next to the couch in the living room.  In the event that an emergency should arise during your stay we have provided the following items, all located underneath the kitchen sink:​

  • fire extinguisher

  • first aid kit (in a red case)

  • laminated safety card with emergency numbers and instructions.

  • a Safety and emergency info page in the guest info book on the kitchen island with more information on local medical clinics, etc.

• APPLE TV - Our TV is equipped with Apple TV to access all your streaming service apps.  You are welcome to log-in to your personal accounts for other streaming services such as Netflix, Hulu and Amazon Prime...just don’t forget to log out when you leave. For complete instructions on how to use the TV & Record Player, you can either utilize the laminated instruction card or flip towards the end of the guest welcome book located on the kitchen island.

• GAMES & ENTERTAINMENT - If streaming services aren't your jam, we have some games stored inside the entertainment center in the living room.  

• LAUNDRY - feel free to use the washer and dryer as needed during your stay. We have provided detergent, stain remover spray, and dryer sheets for your use. Let us know if you have questions or need assistance with the machines.  Should you need dry-cleaning during your stay, we highly recommend Village Cleaners (2010 Acklen Ave, Nashville, TN 37212 -(615) 383-4264 - M-F 7am-6pm, Sat 8am-4pm, Sun closed)

• HOUSEKEEPING - Daily housekeeping is not provided during your stay.

• TRASH - Should you need to empty the trash cans during your stay, there is a large brown trash container along the alley fence outside the front door area. Please place trash in the brown bin only (green bin is recycling….Nashville does not accept glass in their pickup recycling service.)

• KITCHEN SUPPLIES - We have provided many kitchen items in the hopes of accommodating any meals that you might want to prepare during your stay. If there are any utensils or items that you might need that are not already provided please don’t hesitate to ask if we have them in the main house. We would be happy to bring them over if we have what you need.

• COFFEE - We provide a Keurig Duo coffee maker with K-cups for our guests to use as well as 1/2 and 1/2, sugar and other sweeteners.  Should you prefer to brew a full pot of coffee on the Keurig’s carafe side or use a french press, you are welcome to do so, however we do not provide coffee beans or bags of ground coffee so you will need to provide your own coffee if you choose to not use the K-cups.

• WINDOW SHADES - Our window shades can be pulled down from the top, or up from the bottom. The curtains in the bedroom and living room are black-out curtains. If you prefer less light in the morning, we recommend closing the kitchen and living room shades as well as the bedroom and bathroom doors before going to bed.
