Agree on what makes the break restfulBefore booking, each person can choose one priority: swimming, a relaxed dinner, reading or simply time together. Keep the plan short enough that neither person feels responsible for a full schedule. This is an entire-home stay, so check whether the space and booking terms suit a trip for two.
Keep dinner straightforwardChoose a simple meal or independently verify outside dining options if you prefer them. The reservation does not include catering or room service. If cooking, confirm a specific appliance or cookware item before relying on it. Bring any ingredients that matter to your menu.
Use the amenities at your own paceRead the pool instructions on arrival and keep glass away from the water. The traditional sauna is included as an additional option, not a required part of the evening. Follow the posted instructions. Do not assume spa treatments, massage services or special packages are offered.
Leave space around the travel windowsPlan the route from Evanston for check-in from 4 PM and checkout by 10 AM. Early check-in requires advance host approval and is not guaranteed. Checkout is strictly 10 AM. Quiet hours are 10 PM to 8 AM. If you would like a special arrangement for the trip, ask before booking rather than treating it as included.
Agree on one priority eachEach person can name one thing they would like from the stay and one commitment they would prefer to avoid. Build the visit around the two priorities, whether that means swimming together, reading or a quiet meal. Keep pool participation optional. Review any restaurant or outside activity separately rather than letting an unverified plan become the centerpiece of the reservation.
