Kitchen Appliances
Coffee & Tea: Keurig, drip coffee maker, and electric kettle on the coffee bar. A starter set of K-cups, Starbucks coffee grounds, sugar, creamer, and tea selections provided. Just add mountain-fresh water!
Dishwasher: Dishwasher detergent is under the sink. Load it up, add detergent, and press Start.
Oven: Preheat by pressing Bake, setting temperature, and pressing Start. The oven will beep when it's ready to go!
Microwave: Mounted a bit lower than you might be used to — your shoulders will thank you! Perfectly safe and easy to reach.
Refrigerator: Ice maker is in the freezer. The mountain tap water is as fresh as it gets, but a Brita filter dispenser is available for those who prefer it.
Small Appliances: A crockpot, blender, stand mixer, and waffle maker are available for you to use.
Cooking utensils, pots, and pans are provided in the drawers and cabinets, along with some spices.
Tip: Water pressure may be slow at first, but the well pump kicks in after a few seconds. A hot water recirculator system gets that mountain-fresh water hot faster!
Fireplaces
Type: Propane gas log sets with a remote control. There is no wood burning — the logs are for show only.
Safety: Keep the fireplace screen in place and any glass doors open while it is on. This fireplace gives off carbon monoxide, so never leave it running while you sleep or leave the house.
Smell gas? Do not light anything, do not touch light switches or use a phone inside. Leave the cabin and contact us right away.
Option 1: The pilot light is OFF (lighting it from scratch)
Use this if the little pilot flame is out, the remote does nothing, or no one has used the fireplace in a while.
- 1
Smell around the fireplace and down by the floor. Propane is heavier than air and settles low. If you smell gas, stop and see the safety note above.
- 2
Make sure the gas valve is open.
- 3
Find the control knob on the burner under the logs.
- 4
Push the control knob in and turn it to PILOT. Keep it pressed in.
- 5
While still pressing the knob, press the igniter button over and over until the small pilot flame lights.
- 6
Keep the knob pressed in for 30 to 60 seconds after the pilot lights. This warms the safety sensor that keeps the pilot burning.
- 7
Let go of the knob. If the pilot goes out, wait a few minutes for any gas to clear, then repeat steps 3 to 5.
- 8
Once the pilot stays lit, turn the control knob to ON. The main burner is now ready and the remote controls it.
- 9
Go to Option 2 below to turn the flames on.
Option 2: The pilot light is ON (using the remote)
Use this if the small pilot flame is already burning and the knob is on ON.
- 1
Make sure the control knob is turned to ON.
- 2
Press any button on the remote to wake it up.
- 3
Press ON on the remote. The main flame lights.
- 4
To pick how it runs, press MODE. Manual mode keeps the flame on until you press OFF. Thermostat mode holds the room at a set temperature and the flame cycles on and off by itself.
- 5
In thermostat mode, use SET to pick the temperature you want.
- 6
Press OFF when you are done. The pilot stays lit, so the fireplace is ready for next time.
Shutting it all the way down
- 1
Press OFF on the remote, or turn the control knob to PILOT, to turn off the main flame.
- 2
To shut everything off, including the pilot, turn the control knob to OFF. Please do this before you check out.
Tip: If the remote stops responding, try fresh batteries in both the remote and the receiver box, then contact us. If the pilot will not light, the main flame lights then goes out, or the flame looks weak or yellow, turn it off, open a window, and contact us. The fireplace has a safety sensor that shuts it off when the room is low on fresh air.
Heating & Cooling
Baseboard Heaters: Each bedroom and zone has its own thermostat — adjust individually for your comfort.
To Adjust: Use the up/down buttons on the digital display to set your desired temperature.
Recommended Settings: 68-72°F for comfortable temperatures.
Air Conditioning: There isn't any — but you won't miss it! At this altitude, summer nights are cool and breezy. Mother Nature handles the AC up here.
Fans: Each room has a ceiling fan with a remote for extra airflow. Each bedroom also has a box fan.
Tip: Mountain temperatures can swing 20-30 degrees between day and night, so you may want to adjust as the evening cools down.
Locking Up
Keypad Locks: The basement and front door have keypad enabled locks. From inside, just turn the latch. From outside, press the check mark button on the keypad.
French Doors: For the main floor french doors, rotate the handle up first, then back down to allow you to correctly turn the deadbolt latch.
Tip: Always double-check that all doors are locked before leaving or going to bed.

Washer: Add detergent to dispenser, select cycle, and press Start.
