Reserving a Common House Guest Room

10/08/08

Please follow these instructions very carefully so your guests get the reservations they want.  Reservations are to be made by Heartwood members only.  If you’d like to come visit us and stay in a guest room, just contact us and we’ll be happy to reserve a room for you.

  • Go to the Yahoo Groups Calendar web page for our chat. (Calendar should open in a new browser window so you should be able to refer back to this window for instructions.)
  • Find open days that work for your guests.
  • Click on “Add” for the first day of your guest’s visit.
  • In the “Add Event” screen that comes up, under “Title”, type “GR1: <your name or name of guest>” (or GR2).
  • On the same screen, click on the “This is an all day event.” button.
  • If your guest is staying more than one night, on the same screen, click on the “Repeat Every Day” button and then click on the “Until” button and select the date of the last night your guest will be using the guest room. (For example, if your guest is arriving on Friday afternoon, June 10 and leaving on Monday morning, June 13, your “Until” date would be June 12 because that’s the last night they will be using the guest room.)
  • On the same screen, click on the “Save” button and you should be done.
  • Review the reservation info that appears on the calendar and make sure it’s correct. If you need to edit it, click on the words “GR1: <your name or name of guest>” for any one of the days of the reservation and then on the screen that comes up, click on “Edit”.
  • If your guest ends up canceling or changing their visit, make sure to delete or change their reservation.
