How the house works
Dock and boats
Paddles and life jackets hang in the boathouse. Please pull the kayaks up on the rack at night.
Fireplace
Open the flue (lever above the opening) before lighting. Close it once the ashes are cold.
Water
The house is on a well. It tastes great, and there is a filter on the kitchen tap.
Trash
Bear-proof bin by the drive. Please latch it every time.
