Welcome to our home. We hope your stay will be as comfortable and enjoyable as possible so we put together some information. If you have any difficulties or questions please feel free to call us. Please treat our home with the same care and respect you would your own.

• Ski racks are located in the vestibule, please hang skis and poles there. Boots and wet clothes can be left downstairs and will dry quicker when hung or placed near the "wood" stove. Only open one door at a time in the vestibule to keep the heat in.
• The house is heated by separate electric heat in each room with individual thermostats. Please try to conserve by turning down the heat in unused rooms. Electric heat is very expensive and we are trying to keep rental rates low. The gas fired "wood" stove in the den can heat the whole house. Feel free to use it as much as you want. The thermostat for the "wood" stove is the round one on the wall. Leave the fan on to circulate heat throughout the house. Its nice to walk into a warm den when its freezing outside.
• Firewood is located in the metal stand to the left of the fireplace. Additional wood is outside the front door. Firestarters are left on the mantle above the fireplace, they are compressed wood blocks .  Please keep the screen and glass doors closed to prevent embers from jumping out and causing burns. Take care not to build too hot a fire near the glass doors, they can break.

Leave the cover on as much as possible to prevent evaporation which will lower the water level and cool the Jacuzzi. Water should be added if it falls below the skimmer (the bottom of the tiles). Temperature is controlled with a thermostat on the heater located in the closet on the left side. Do not turn the heater switch off, just turn the heat down to a lower level.
