We have established several relationships with restaurants and other services for your convenience. Please use these services so that we can show support for our local community.

INSTRUCTIONS: ** For instructions on how to use most appliances, please download the TINE tag app. There are scannable barcodes next to each appliance. The TINE tag app will demonstrate “how to” visually with detailed instructions. PELLET STOVE To use the pellet stove (during winter months): Open the lid located on the top of the stove. Pour in the pellets that are in the bag by the side of the stove. Once the Hopper is filled, move some pellets to the right side so that you can close the top as it has a latch that when filled, interferes with its closing. Next, turn the switch once to the right (clockwise) all the way, then once back to the left (counter clockwise) and then back to the right again to set it on the temperature that you desire. Usually the MEDIUM setting is just right. If it gets too hot for you, just dial it down less. Do not turn it all the way to the right as it will not make it any hotter but just burn through the pellets a lot quicker. You can keep the stove on all night when you retire to the bedrooms or leave for the entire day. It is perfectly safe and this is what it is meant for. WOODBURNING STOVE Stock with kindling and firewood. Please only use our firewood and do not put anything in the stove other than wood. Please fill the bear tin with water. Do not use lighter fluid. Do not place anything on top of the stove. WASHER/DRYER Should you need to use our washer/dryer: It is a front loader so we use H/E laundry detergent only. Front loaders need a lot less detergent than regular washers. The cup is market for the H/E detergent. Usually it is 1/3 of the cup size Then follow directions. DISHWASHER Please make sure that you use dish washing detergent meant for the dishwasher and not dish soap (other wise, we will have an I LOVE LUCY episode in the kitchen). The house is on Well Water and Septic systems. TOILETS AND BATHROOMS Please be kind to our septic system and DO NOT FLUSH anything in toilets other than toilet paper. Discard feminine products in the garbage pail. No feminine products should be flushed at anytime. If it is found that feminine products have been flushed and clog the septic system, you could be charged for the damages. We do not have a garbage disposal in the home so all food, scraps, etc. should be removed from the sink and tossed in garbage pails. A strainer is in the kitchen sink. 2.

Though neighbors are acres away, sound travels at night. Inside you may enjoy your party/event and time at our home. You must use your INDOOR VOICES on the balconies, at the hot tub, pool area or any area outside after 9PM. We consider INDOOR VOICES to be soft and contained. We love our neighbors and love our guests - please help us keep our space sacred and not disturbing the neighbors. Creating loud noises will make our neighbors angry and ruin this experience for you and other guests. Noise pollution has become a major concern as this area is residential. We ask that you do your part to keep this AirBnB a successful experience for everyone. Music must be kept at a dinner level during the evening. At 9:00 pm the noise ordinance is in effect and loud sounds are taken inside. There is a WHISPER ZONE by the hot tub. After years of experience, this has forced us to charge a $500 fee for those who violate this request. This money goes to the neighbors for the inconvenience of being disturbed. There are small children that live on our street. I would prefer not to do this, so we ask that you please help us by respecting the peace and being tranquil. GUEST AND VISITOR POLICY: People other than those in the guest party may not stay overnight on the property. Any other person in the property is the sole responsibility of guest.
