Changes for Summer 2020

Spring at Rawdon Cottages

We are open for the summer, but have had to make a few changes for everyone’s safety.

In the past, we have provided blankets and, sometimes, bed linens. However, we will not be able to provide either this summer. The beds will have mattress pads and pillows with washable zippered pillow covers, but you will need to bring the following items with you from home:

  • Pillowcases
  • Sheets (bed sizes for each cottage can be found on our website at www.rawdoncottages.com)
  • Blankets
  • Bath towels, hand towels, and washcloths
  • Kitchen towels and oven mitts/potholders

So even if you requested linens with your reservation, you will need to bring your own (the linens charge will be removed from your bill).

In addition, because of current shortages, you will also need to bring the following:

  • Toilet paper
  • Paper towels
  • Hand sanitizer (if you want it)

We will be cleaning the cottages thoroughly between guests (as usual), but we won’t be offended if you want to bring your own disinfectant products.

The State of Ohio is currently recommending, but not requiring, that people wear masks in public. However, businesses may require that customers wear masks. We encourage you to bring masks so that you’ll have them when necessary.

UPDATE 7/22

Effective July 23, a statewide mask order is in effect in Ohio. Details can be found here.

We ask that you follow social distancing practices in common areas of the Rawdon Cottages property, particularly with regard to guests who are not in your party. This includes Roberta (vulnerable at age 81), who will be so happy to see everyone that she will likely forget to maintain a safe distance. Please help us protect her!

If anyone in your party is exhibiting COVID-19 symptoms, you must cancel your reservation! We can transfer your reservation (and deposit) to the same week next year (2021). On the other hand, if everyone is healthy, we hope you’ll maintain your reservation—we appreciate, and need, your business.

As always, thank you for staying with us!
