out of hot water wait about 10-15 minutes for the next hot load.
Toilet
- This is a country cabin and our pipes can
not handle too much paper so whenever possible try to dispose of dirty
toilet paper in the trash receptacle. THIS IS IMPORTANT.
THERE ARE NO EMERGENCY PLUMBERS IN THE AREA.
Heat-
In
the winter heat is critical --- not only to keep you warm but to keep
our pipes from freezing. There is one heat control for the cabin and it
is located on the right in the living room. The cabin runs on forced
hot air so it will get warm very fast. Please adjust heat to your
comfort level.
We will
appreciate if you maintain the heat at 65 degrees on cool spring or fall
nights. This will allow us to conserve energy during your stay.
Fireplace
- Sitting by the fire with a good book is very relaxing. But
before you use
the fireplace please follow these
instructions.
Step 1
- remove guard
Step 2 - open flue
located inside the opening (stick you hand in and pull lever up and
back- the teeth will lock and it will remain open)
Step 3 - prepare
wood on fire rack
Step 4 - light
fire- (we recommend self starting logs, and sometimes we combine them
with real wood for a long lasting fire). PLEASE NEVER LEAVE THE
CABIN WHILE YOU HAVE A FIREPLACE BURNING.

collect or buy your own kindling.

About the
Cabin:
Air-conditioning
- The cabin is not equipped with air conditioning due to the mountain
air the cabin is always cool but if you find yourself at the cabin
during a heat wave we do have a portable fan that will cool the cabin as
well as ceiling fans that can be turned on. If you decide to open
windows please make sure that the screen is down to avoid insects.
Phone
- Because of our location your cell phone will probably not work in Andes. The
Cabin is equipped with a phone for emergencies and local calls. We do not have long
distance service but you can use a calling card to make long
distance phone calls. The phone has a
built in answering machine - to listen to your messages just press play
- to erase press erase twice.
Dishes
- There are plenty of pots, dishes, mugs,
bowls and plastic outdoor dishes in the cabinets. Silverware is located
in the drawer on the left side of the sink. Coffee maker, smoothie
machine, juicer and toaster oven are all located on the counters please
we do ask that if you use theses appliances that you thoroughly clean
them after each use as this will prevent un-welcomed visitors.
Cooking-
Our
stove is electric please double check that the range is off.
It is very easy
to forget to shut off due to the fact that you do not see flames.
We do have a charcoal grill on the deck if you plan to grill please
make sure that you dispose of the charcoal once you are done ( FYI -
make sure the coals are well away and off the cabin wood. It is a
very wooded setting and we don’t want
any forest fires). We will provide you with a grill wire brush for
cleaning after you cook. Also do not leave food outdoors that will
attract wild animals. (bear,
coyotes,
bobcats, etc.)
We have seen them before, and although we love animals, its best for
them and us if we do not create bad habits for the animals.
Food
- please try not to leave exposed food on
the counters this will welcome un-invited guest. Please do not forget
to take all your food from the fridge and cabinets when you leave.
Garbage -
because
of the wildlife please Do Not
leave garbage outside.
