Your door code is sent one hour before your checkin time the day of your arrival. For example, if your checkin time is 3 PM, we will send your door code at 2 PM.

Please note that we will only send your door code via Airbnb message to the person booking the reservation.

How to unlock

Occasionally, the door can expand, due to weather/humidity, causing friction which can make it harder for the deadbolt to turn. If that is the case, you will need to pull the door toward you, to reduce friction, while simultaneously rotating the thumb turn.

Living Room

Fire

Extinguisher / First Aide

Both the first aide kit and fire extinguisher is located on the wall by the front door, in front of the hall way.

Games / Music

Games and vinyls can be found on a low bookshelves in the living room.

Record Players

Place the record on the turntable, close the lid, and press PLAY to start the record. The player will automatically stop at the end of the record. Press STOP during play to end the music.

Nest Thermostat

The Nest Thermostat is located just below the wall shelving above the record player and games.

Nest Thermostat

Nest thermostats, located on the wall at the start of the hallway, don’t have a touch screen. Use it just like a normal thermostat, turn the ring up when you want it a little warmer, and turn it down when you want it a little cooler. Press your thermostat ring towards the wall to see more options.

The thermostat is locked between 68 to 80 degree range.

Reaching desired temperature requires adequate time especially during summer months due to extreme heat. Lowering the thermostat to 50 degrees will not cool the home faster.

When AC or heat is on, please keep doors and windows closed. If you plan to leave for long period of time, please raise (during summer) or lower (during winter) the temperature before you leave
