Parking
Do NOT pull down the driveway if you don’t have 4WD, you will get stuck in the gravel! You can park parallel to the road in the gravel in front of the house. Please do not pull past the post with the 124 on it.
The EV charger is on the post by the parking pad. Just plug in to start charging — you’ll need an adapter for your Tesla.

Thermostat / Climate
Use the touch bar on the right side to control the thermostat. Swipe up to raise the temperature, swipe down to lower it, and tap to confirm. The display will show you how many minutes until your desired temperature is reached.
The fan in the living room is controlled by the switch and the remote (in basket above sofa).
Hot Tub
The hot tub is located on the back deck and is ready for you upon arrival. The cover should be placed back on the spa when not in use to maintain temperature and keep debris out.
Please shower before using the spa. Do not use the spa if you have open wounds. Maximum capacity is 5 people. Children must be supervised at all times. No glass containers on the deck near the spa.
Fireplaces
They are operated by a remote or the touch controls on the bottom right. There is a switch on the top right that controls on and off. They do put out heat so feel free to warm the space up by turning the heating option on.
Kitchen
The kitchen is fully equipped with pots, pans, utensils, plates, glasses, and a coffee maker. The coffee maker is a Keurig Duo which allows you to brew a pot of coffee or single serving using K-cups. The controls are at the top, the “K” is the brew button. There is a reusable filter for the pot option. Power on, press the carafe or cup option, press the size, then press the K.
