Default ??for people who rent out their home, but use it themselves

I know I'm not making myself very clear, but I don't know how to phrase the question right. We came for a LSV, loved it, went home, bought a house without going inside until we came down to sign the papers. That was 2 years ago already! Came back for 3 days for paperwork and run around get furniture, etc. Came again for another 3 days before we rented it out for the winter seasons. We can finally come down again for more than a few days, and hope to be able to again later this year.

My question is - what do you do with things you don't want to bring back and forth again? Personal items, perhaps a nightgown, slippers, maybe even some clothes? Shampoo, toiletries that don't go bad and the like? Maybe a favorite pillow or throw or personal pictures to put out during your stay? Do you put a storage closet in the garage with a lock? If you don't want everyone to read where you keep your "stuff" please PM me. Since we rent it out, I can't just leave things in the drawers and bathrooms.

Thank you.
