** Doors: Do not leave doors open for service animals to enter/exit at their leisure.
**All service animals MUST be taken with you when you leave the house.
THERMOSTAT & TEMPERATURE CONTROL
Our home uses a smart thermostat for climate control. The HVAC system has developed it’s own smart schedule to maintain the most comfortable atmosphere in the house. While we do our best to accommodate personal temperature preferences, we cannot guarantee exact settings. The system is designed to protect the comfort of all guests and the integrity of the home’s systems.
It is preset to cool to 72° and heat to 68° for optimal comfort. We try our best to accommodate requests for specific settings but cannot make guarantees.
SMOKING
**No Smoking Indoors: This includes vapes and e-cigarettes, etc.
**Please dispose of cigarette butts properly— DO NOT leave them around the property, throw them into the woods or extinguish them on handrails, decks etc.
Additional cleaning fees will be charged if ANY cigarette butts are found.
FIRE PLACE USE
** We do our best to provide fire wood. Wood used in fireplace must be kiln dried “hardwood” purchased from a store e.g. – Tractor Supply, 711 etc.
Please do not collect fire wood from the woods - bugs/unwanted pests may be brought into the house, also wood that isn’t properly “seasoned” does not burn efficiently and clogs the chimney liner.
We do not want a chimney fire (the chimney gets swept multiple times a year).
*For your convenience and ease of starting a fire we provide fire starter logs.
**When done please ensure the door is left closed tight and the choke is closed (slide it all the way to the right).
GENERAL GUIDELINES
**Please do not explore the woods - property lines are not marked and the property is not maintained outside of the house, the deck, or driveway/easement.
**Please don’t place hot pots/serving dishes etc. directly on counter top or dining room table.
Please place a trivet/hand towel under it to prevent scorch marks. There are rubber trivets in the kitchen drawers.
**Once grill has cooled put covers back on after EACH USE.
**Clover outdoor patio furniture after use.
**Turn off lights and TVs in unused rooms.
**No shoes on the furniture
**Toilets: Flush only toilet paper and human waste.
**Do NOT flush feminine hygiene products, wipes, or paper towels—EVEN IF LABELED AS FLUSHABLE – This could cause a back up in the septic system.
TRASH
**There is NO trash collection.
**Ensure all trash is bagged and placed in the outdoor trash bin. Unbagged/loose trash in the garbage cans WILL incur extra cleaning fees.
BEFORE CHECKOUT
**Strip all used beds to the mattress and place bedding on the bedroom floor.
**Place all used towels on the bathroom floor so the cleaners know they were used.
ADDITIONAL NOTES
**No candles are allowed in the house.
**If something breaks, please let us know right away rather than leaving it for the cleaners to discover. If you discover something unsatisfactory upon check-in please let us know ASAP (preferably within 12 hours so we can best address it).
Thank you for respecting these rules and helping us maintain a great experience for all guests. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out!
