HOUSE RULES:
1. SEPTIC SYSTEM: - Please DO NOT flush feminine hygiene products, wet wipes, paper towels or any other non-flushable items. These things will cause significant damage to our septic system. Please dispose of the items listed above in the trash cans next to the toilets.
2. WATER - Please DO NOT touch the water treatment tanks in the garage (or any system in the garage for that matter). Our water is safe to drink.
3. DOORS, WINDOWS, AC/HEAT: - We have three split units for AC & Heat. When using AC/Heat all doors/windows should remain closed. If you wish to open the doors and windows, please turn off AC/Heat and ensure a screen is covering the open window/door. - Additionally, when leaving the house in the summer time - we ask that you turn off the AC units or set them to dehumidifying mode (the double water drop image). Our house cools down very quickly - so don’t worry about keeping it running all day while you are gone! In the winter, please leave the Heat set to 65 degrees if you are leaving the home - again, our house heats quickly. - Please do not touch the wall mounted thermostats downstairs or upstairs (these are only used for extreme cold weather when the house is unoccupied) - all AC & Heat during your stay should come from the split units.
4. LAUNDRY: - There is an in-unit washer/dryer you are welcome to use. Please do not forget to clean the lint catcher - leftover lint can cause a fire. - Please shake all sand from towels / clothes prior to using the washer.
5. DISHWASHER: - Please ensure you have thoroughly rinsed dishes before placing them in the dishwasher. We provide dishwashing pods & Jet Dry. - Jet Dry is crucial to use for our type of dishwasher - please fill the washer with Jet Dry, just shy of the max line. Don’t forget to include the detergent pod as well. - When running the dishwasher, please do so on the 30min express wash (it works just as well as all the settings and is a fraction of the time/water & energy consumption!)
6. BUNK BEDS: - The top bunk bed has a maximum weight of 150 pounds. Bottom bunk bed maximum weight is 175 pounds. We do not recommend young children sleeping on the top bunk.
7. QUIET HOURS: - Please be respectful of our neighbors. Even though we have several acres between us and the neighbors, music and voices do carry! Quiet hours outside are 11pm - 7am.
8. GARBAGE: - We have two trash cans labeled in the kitchen. One for regular waste, one for plastic, glass and aluminum recycling. We also have a third trashcan in the garage for cardboard & plastic bags. - Please recycle accordingly - our town is very strict when disposing of waste. - When you need to remove a full trash bag, please place them in the appropriately labeled trash bins found in the shed next to the garage/oil tank.
9. GRILLING: -Guests can use the grill, but must do so responsibly. Under no circumstances should the grill ever be left unattended while in use. When grilling, you must ensure the grill is not directly under the deck. When finished, please turn off the propane, let the grill cool before putting the cover back on, and velcro the sides so it is protected from all weather.
10. DECK. - Guests are welcome to use the deck. The chaise lounge chair pad can be found in the garage. Please place it back in the garage upon your checkout.
11. FIRE PIT: - Chairs for the fire pit can be located in the garage. Please place them back in the garage at the end of your stay. - When using the fire pit, never leave it unattended. - When finished with the fire pit, please use water to put it out and watch for the spreading of ashes.
12. SUPPLIES: - We provide some basic necessities to get you started with your stay. (Paper towels, toilet paper, dishwasher pods, trash bags, dish soap) After those are exhausted, it is the responsibility of the guest to buy any additional items needed for your stay.
13. NO HUNTING - You will see some amazing wildlife while staying at our house (deer, turkey, rabbits, foxes, porcupines, etc.) However, hunting of any animals is NOT permitted on our property. We love the wildlife and want all of our guests to be able to enjoy watching them!
