  1. BATHROOM USE:  Sometimes we have events in the building during someone’s stay, please keep the upstairs bathroom as clean as possible since you will be sharing it with guests in the building.  Toiletries  are best keep your room.  Please only use room assigned since other guest may appear that need other rooms for an overnight stay.
  2. CLEANING:   We do not have a daily maid service so please keep common areas as tidy and clean after use as possible.  Brooms and mops are kept in the main kitchen pantry.   We supply all linens and towels.   A vacuum is kept in the coat closet on the main floor if needed.
  3. LINENS:  Linens are normally picked up usually once a week.  If you stay for a long stay, you will need to notify staff when you would like your beds remade.  Linen is kept in marked drawers in both room 3 for the double bed and in the hall chest just beside the stairs.
  4. INTERNET:  Wifi is available for free in the building.  Please see notices in room for password.
  5. GARBAGE:  Please clean out the refrigerator in the kitchen and empty garbage when leaving and place into appropriate dumpsters in front of garage door.  Since we come in to clean once a week, garbage left can both smell and attract bugs.
  6. HEATING:  In winter, the thermostat is on the main floor for the house.  Heat can be regulated there.  We are not air conditioned but fans are available throughout the building.  Please close main floor windows for safety when leaving.
  7.

  9. SHOWERING:  We recommend that you use the main floor bathroom for showering,  since the top floor shower is only a hand held device.
  10. BEFORE YOU LEAVE:  Upon exit please strip the beds and leave the linens in the baskets on the top floor.   Leave the futon and blankets  folded on the end of the beds.
  11.
