Please crack open a window in the living room to allow enough air flow when the fireplace is burning.

There is LED strip cove lighting in the living room and the dining room. The switches are labeled please note that there is a 20 second delay before they light up after you hit the switch.

Storage Closets and the Mechanical room are off limits to guest. BUT because we trust you and want you to be able to access theses spaces in an emergency they are not locked. EXTRA SHEETS AND TOWELS : Do not take extra linens or towels from the linen closets marked "No Guest access"please reach out to either Eric Wells or the owner if you need anything. We will do our best to accommodate your request.

There are two separate heating systems and the fans. 

Radiant floor heat: The radiant floor heating system is controlled by the SENSI thermostats. As this system has a slow reaction time it has been set on 68 ° F in the common rooms and bedrooms and 72°in the bathrooms and the thermostats are locked. If you want the house cooler in the winter please let us know and we will lower the heat. 

Mini Split: All bedrooms, the kitchen and the upstairs living room have electric cooling and heating units. Please note that all the units must be set to either heat or cool/dry. The system will not operate if some units are set to heat and some to cool/dry. Theses units are controlled by the wall panels and remotes that say Fujitsu./ AIRSTATGE The dry cycle works like a low impact A/C and in most cases is more than sufficient to cool the house. If the house feels too humid set all units to 74° and DRY and you will find that the building will be quite comfortable. If a bedroom seems too chilly feel free to use these units to heat .

Please, no perfumes, no dryer sheets, no fabric softener, the washing machine does better if it it loaded with like items, it doesn’t do well with very small loads .
