About sheets and towels: In Massachusetts, you must provide your own launderable linens.* If you are unable to bring them with you, there are commercial linen rental services available. Some will even deliver them to our office for you to pick up when you check in, and allow you to return them to us when you check out. Please click on our blog, Martie's Clipper Ship, and click "Tips" in the index for more information. * This is a state law, part of the tax code that governs Room Occupancy Tax. At the present time, privately owned cottages and homes are exempt fron tax if they do not provide the same "transient" services as motels and other commercial accommodations. Services include providing launderable linens, providing cleaning during occupancy, providing management services (you buy replacement light bulbs and toilet paper, for example), and renting only for periods of at least a week.
