Welcome to our Hideaway Chalet!

We aim to make your stay as comfortable as possible. Understanding and complying with our rules will make for a comfortable and fun stay for everyone.

HOUSE RULES

Check in at 4 pm - self check in.

Check out at 11 am. Please see “Check out” list.

FIRE/SMOKING/DRUGS

Absolutely NO SMOKING of any kind in the home or on the property. We are located in a high fire risk area.

NO open flames/burning candles.
Do not leave any source of heat on while away from the cabin (oven, stove, hair styling tools) Wall furnace may be left in the lowest setting while away for the day.

NO DRUGS/ILLEGAL SUBSTANCES If guests are suspected of carrying and/or using illegal drugs of any kind, the rental agreement will be terminated, the authorities will be notified, and GUESTS WILL BE ASKED TO VACATE THE PROPERTY IMMEDIATELY.

FIRE EXTINGUISHERS located under the kitchen sink and entry closet.

FIRST AID KIT in bathroom.


SECURITY

SECURITY CAMERAS on home exterior only, door and driveway.

Home security system: if you would like to engage the system when away from the home, set the wall keypad to “AWAY.”

Press “LOCK” on the door keypad to lock the door, upon exiting for any outing and checkout.

The smart lock/keypad is a manual deadbolt from the inside.


TRAVEL/PARKING

PARKING/DRIVEWAY: suitable for up to 3 cars. The driveway is a little steep. We suggest a small SUV or larger. Sometimes a longer hitch can scrape. Avoid this by staying to the right side of the drive way when entering. Street parking is not available.

WINTER/SNOW season: for your safety we recommend 4 wheel drive or all wheel drive and all terrain tires. It is advisable to carry chains. Check road conditions prior to travel. Caltrans (https://roads.dot.ca.gov) for HWY 108.


SNOW REMOVAL: During snow season the roads are plowed once a day by the county. If snow is heavy, like during a snowstorm, we will make an effort to have the driveway plowed for your arrival. If you would like plow service during your stay use the contact list of services in the area, at guest’s expense. Snow shovels are available upon arrival should you need them. Salt also available at the top of the driveway.

FLOODLIGHT: there is 2 way switch at the bottom of the stairs. It is labeled “dual” inside the house entry. You should be able to switch it on outside when it is dark, in case you arrive late or have a late outing. Please switch it off once inside. If you could try to remember to leave the “dual” switch ON, but the flood light OFF so we don't waste electricity that would be helpful to us and the next guest.



HEATING

GAS FIREPLACE: on/off switch located inside the front panel (bottom set of buttons, far right switch). The far left dial can be used to adjust fan speed. Please do not adjust other settings. Note: the fan is automatic and will run for some time after the fireplace is turned off.

WALL FURNACE: adjust to a comfortable setting on the thermostat. There is a fan on the top portion of the unit to help circulate the warm air. Please use it intermittently.

PORTABLE SPACE HEATERS: we ask you keep the heaters plugged into designated outlets. Other outlet locations tend to cause the breaker to trip.

ELECTRIC WALL UNITS: in the bedroom. Slide dresser / table a least 1 foot away for safety.

ELECTRIC CONSOLE HEATER: on/off switch and adjust the “thermostat” icon botton.

MAINTAIN SAFE CLEARANCE around all heating sources. NO FLAMMABLE materials near any heat source.

Extra blankets are located in the bedroom closets.

OTHER THINGS TO NOTE:

POWER OUTAGES
In the summer and during severe winter weather, there tends to be power outages, usually for a short period of time, but can be days at a time in winter. Be aware this is common for our area and be prepared to be flexible with your plans.

In the case of a power outage during the winter - you will still have house heating (wall gas furnace), ability to cook (gas stove, propane BBQ), a few lanterns for light, and we have our wifi connected to batteries. We do not know how long the batteries will last as we have not had to use them.

CLEANING/MAINTENANCE
If a cleaning or maintenance issue arises, the guest shall notify the owner to try to resolve the issue as quickly as reasonably possible. We do not have anyone on call 24/7. Notifications of cleaning and/or maintenance issues or deficiencies at the time of check out, after, or that never were reported to the owner (and owner not given the opportunity to correct at the time of discovery) are not eligible for refunds.

SECURITY DEPOSIT may be for used damages (fair market price), additional cleaning, repairs and/or any house rules broken. Refunded within 7 days after check out.



Lastly we hope you enjoy your stay and ask you leave the cabin as you found it for the next guest to enjoy.

If you have read this far … you are already an amazing guest! Thank you.
