There is plenty of parking in the driveway. The doors will be locked, and a key is in the lock box located in the center of the rocker on the front porch. We will send you the combination before your arrival date. The video below shows the location of the lock box, and the photo below illustrates how to hold the lock when entering the combination.

Hold the lock this way, and enter the code from top to bottom.

Please refer to this list for the few items to do before leaving:

You have unrestricted use of:

Unless you have been told otherwise, the food in the pantry and refrigerator is yours to enjoy. 

We provide bedding and towels, but you are welcome to bring your own if that makes you more comfortable. Our supplies will be freshly laundered upon your arrival. If you choose to use your own, please put ours in a closet.

Use caution when building and enjoying the fire pit. There is paper and fire starting supplies near the living room fireplace. You can burn wood from the front porch or (preferably) any branches you find in the backyard. Please do not build a bonfire in the fire pit; keep it reasonable.

Both the washer and dryer are fairly simple to operate. Add clothes, hit the power button, select a cycle, then hit the run button. Obviously, add detergent before starting the wash.

Same idea. Load it, put a detergent pod in the door and close the holder, press the power button, press start and close the door.

The microwave is pretty self explanatory. The stove, too, with the added caveat that the front left burner runs VERY HOT. It is easy to burn a meal on that burner, but it is quick to heat and boil. The steps to use the oven are the same as most items: hit BAKE, use arrows to set the desired temperature, then press START. Press CANCEL when baking is done to turn off the oven.
