Why this exists
The usual options are a half-finished text message, a Word doc from 2014, or an Etsy template that still needs Canva. Sitters do not want a brand system. They want the vet’s number, the alarm code, and whether the dog is allowed on the couch.
Airbnb, VRBO, and spare-room hosts already pay a few dollars for a PDF they then have to customize. This is the customize step, finished.
What to put on guest house manual
Write like a human leaving a note, not like a policy. Times, amounts, names of drawers, and who to call beat “please provide adequate care.” If a door code is on the sheet, put the sheet somewhere guests or sitters will see it and strangers won’t.
Questions
Is this guest house manual generator free?
Yes. You can fill it in, print it, and share a phone link without making an account. A $4.99 Notes Pass removes the small footer and keeps hosted links for a year.
Do I need Canva or Word?
No. Type the details once. Print the sheet, or send a link the sitter can open on their phone. That’s the whole product.
Where do the door codes go?
Printing never sends your notes to a server. If you create a share link, it is stored only so the sitter can open it, and free links expire in 14 days.
