During your stay

Supplies

• We provide you with a starter set of paper products which should be enough for shorter stays. For longer stays, we ask that you bring or purchase additional supplies.

Quirks of the house

• The old house has old windows so during extreme temperatures the heat pumps can struggle to keep up. Please be gentle and ease the thermostat up/down until you're comfortable. The floors are uneven in several places. Please watch your step.

• A few key windows are operable in the house. The two over the kitchen sink, and one in each bedroom for fire escape in the case of emergency. All windows in the cottage are operable.

Toilets

• Please do not overload toilets before flushing. Use toilet paper, not paper towels or napkins. Refrain from flushing any other unusual things down the toilet.

Heating/cooling

• There is a thermostat on each level of the house, one by the 1/2 bath and one by the full bath upstairs. These are typical thermostats in terms of controls.

• The unit in the cottage is controlled by a remote located on the wall under the unit. Set the desired and reasonable temperature and wait. It doesn't respond immediately. Check back in to ensure it is heating or cooling as you desire. The instruction booklet is located in the TV cabinet in the cottage.

Deck

• There is an extra propane tank at the back side of the cottage in case the fire pit tank runs out. The grill is available for your use. Please supply your own charcoal.

Cottage

• If the toilet water rises and then slowly drains when flushed, this usually means the outlet that runs the underground pump has been tripped. To reset, go to the right side of the cottage exterior near the wooden box and push the "Reset" button on the middle of the outlet.

Potential Noise

• Friday and Saturday nights can be noisier due to small town events like baseball, football games, and the popular vinyl night downtown. Things typically quiet down by 11 PM. There are white noise devices in the bedrooms.
