Keeping short term rentals stocked with supplies

[Scott Stahr]

My wife and I have a property that we would like to start using as a short term rental in the Deep Creek Lake area in western MD.  We're doing our research on property managers but after listening to Avery Carl's podcast episode, we're also looking into the possibility of self managing.  For those of you who self manage STRs, how do you keep the property stocked with essentials, such as paper towels and toilet paper.  Is this something that the cleaning crew usually takes care of?  I guess the same question can be asked of sheets and towels as well.  Any tips or tricks to keeping the property stocked would be greatly appreciated!

I would maintain bulk supplies in a locked storage closet or cabinet. The cleaner can restock during each cleaning.
