Security Devices

Security cameras are located in the following locations:

• Garage

• Overlooking the Parking Lot
• Front Door
• South side of house overlooking the barn

There are NO CAMERAS in any other part of the home.

Access

You have access/use of all areas of the house except: locked owners closets, the basement, master bedroom walk in closet, the 3rd floor storage area that adjoins the 3rd floor room, the barn, the right side of the garage, and the outdoor open fire pit located in across the bridge. A fire marshal permit is required to have an open fire and our insurer requires we do not permit open fires on the property.

The keep the house clean, we ask that you use the garage side door as your main point of entry and exit during your stay. Your door code operates ONLY the garage side door. It will not work on any other doors in the house.
Starter Supplies

We provide a starter supply of consumables. These are not intended to last for the duration of your stay. Additional supplies can be purchased from the Dollar General located 1 mile north on Route 7.

Door Locks

In the past, we rented each of the rooms in our home separately. For the safety and security of our guests, we installed individual coded locks on each of the rooms. Now that the entire house is being rented, it’s no longer necessary to hand out individual codes to the rooms. In case a door is locked, the code to open all of the bedrooms and the front door is 1234.

Home Temperature

We remotely manage the home temperature via the WiFi thermostats. Please keep the home temperature at 70 degrees year-round. If you are too hot or cold, consider adding or removing clothing layers.

Trash & Recycling

There is a green trash can and a recycling can in the garage to the left of the main entry door. Place BAGGED TRASH in the green trash can. Place bottles, cans, and liquor bottles with a VT refund in the recycling can. We use Zero Sort recycling. This means that recyclable plastics can go in the main trash. DO NOT PUT THEM IN THE ROUND DEPOSIT BOTTLE CAN. Food waste with the exception of bacon grease, egg shells, cucumber & potato peels can go down the garbage disposal. Our hospitality hero and son, Scott, picks up the trash every Friday. He has the code to the garage and will let himself in to retrieve it.

Deck, Fire Pit, Gas Grill, and String Lights

The fire pit on the deck is hooked to a propane tank that is stored in the cabinet beneath the burner area. Please follow the QR directions for operating the fire pit and gas grill. Cover them after they have cooled off. To prolong their life, deck cushions are available in the warmer months only. If you consume what is in the tank, please get it refilled prior to the conclusion of your stay. You can refill it at Chem Clean in Arlington town center-about 5 mins away. There is a string of patio lights encircling the seating area across the bridge. The plug is located under the deck to the right of the French doors.
