House Guide

Kitchen with white shiplap walls, blue cabinets, wooden open shelves, and a wooden table with two chairs. There are large windows and a glass door opening to the outdoors, a fire extinguisher near the door, and a small kitchen appliance on the counter. The ceiling is wood with recessed lighting and the floor is light-colored wood.

Front door lockbox

I will email the lockbox code prior to your arrival.

1. To UNLOCK: Enter the 4 digit code into and press down on the lever.

2. A keychain with a key is located inside the box.

To unlock the door, turn the key and press the handle DOWN. To lock the door, lift the handle UP first, then turn the key.

Garbage disposal

The kitchen sink does not have a garbage disposal in the sink. Please use the sink strainer and do not dispose of any large food products down the drain.

Ice maker (removed)

The ice maker has been removed due to guest feedback. Ice cube trays are provided but I recommend bringing an ice chest with extra ice if you need.

HVAC/ MINI SPLIT

Each mini-split unit has its own remote control thermostat, located on the wall near each unit.

Window blinds

Each tiny home has blackout windows. Gently pull down on the cord to lower the blinds. To raise the blinds, gently pull the roller as far as it will go, then hold the cord as you raise the shade.

Toilets & septic system

Each house utilizes a septic system and it can only process normal toilet paper. DO NOT flush wipes or other products as it will cause an immediate pump back-up and ruin your stay!

Outdoor lights

The outdoor lights are provided for your safety and comfort, however, please do not keep outdoor lights on overnight. The outdoor lights attract bugs and also impact the neighbor's nighttime views. Thanks in advance!

Amazon Fire TV

An Amazon FireTV is located in each tiny home. Login to your Amazon account to access the TV.

Well water

The tiny homes utilize water from a nearby well. The water is safe but does taste different than treated city water. A brita is provided for your convenience.

Stove/hot plate

Be careful to NOT turn on the hot plate by accident. Turn on stove by using the power button, then select which burner and temperuature setting (1-9) to use.

Ninja coffee maker

The coffee maker utilizes ground coffee or KCups. The user manual is included inside the home.

Garbage/recycling

A large trash bin is located behind each tiny home. Please place all trash and recycling in this bin. I sort recycling at the county waste center. I must hand carry trash to a local center so please ensure ALL trash is bagged.

If you are staying for longer than one week I will coordinate a time with you to collect the trash.

Before you leave please…

Two black Adirondack chairs facing each other with a small table between them, on a gravel surface outdoors with a landscape of grass, trees, mountains, and a cloudy sky in the background.

  • Check the fridge for any leftovers. Discard any unwanted food.

  • Please load and run the dishwasher. Cleaning pods are located under the sink.

  • Place any remaining bagged garbage in the trash bin behind the house.

  • Do not worry about stripping the beds or gathering towels.

  • Check for any remaining personal items and log out of your FireTV account (if applicable.)
