You provide a clean, comfortable and private place for your guests to stay, offer that extra bed, serve breakfast, and give the guests an hour of your time to acquaint them with your area.

As a Guest

1) You should confirm your reservation and arrival time the day before you arrive.   Arrive at the time selected so the hosts may plan their day around your arrival.  If your plans change and you cannot arrive for a confirmed reservation, you must contact your host and cancel as early as possible.

2) Make reservations at least 24 hours in advance.  It is preferable to make them 1-2 weeks before the visit.  Requests for lodging 2 months in advance should be considered “tentative” and then confirmed 1-2 weeks before the visit.

3) Treat your host's home with care.  Please be very considerate of your host's privacy and time by planning daytime activities away from the home.

4) Let your host be the guide as to which areas of the house you may use and how much time he/she would like to spend with you.

5) Many members, when leaving on an extended trip, mail or email their itineraries to all their ATC hosts, along with their cell phone numbers, so that the host can make contact with them in case of emergency.

The observance of these few rules will make your traveling and hosting a very enjoyable experience.

Happy Hosting and Traveling!
