The space
ENTRANCE
You step into a heated floor entranceway with plenty of space for your coats and shoes. There is lots of storage options for your sporting equipment and some of this space can be found beside the steps that go down in the entranceway.
LIVING SPACE
From the entrance way, there are a few steps up to the main living space. Here you will find a large kitchen with island, a large 8 seater dining table, and large lounge with cable TV and G00gle Play.
The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you will need during your stay. There is also some cooking oil, salt, pepper, and fresh coffee for you to use while here.
The lounge has a sofa bed, and couch, and large TV.
BACK YARD
In the garden you will find the hot tub that you can enjoy during your stay. Furthermore, at the back of the garden you will find the trails! In the winter local volunteers store their grooming machinery in our garden so please know that you may see people accessing the garden during your stay. Also note, you are not allowed to interfere with their vehicles while stored in the garden - thank you for your understanding.
BEDROOMS
There are two bedrooms, both with queen beds (one is a made up Murphy bed). The other bed can be found in the lounge - the large comfortable sofa turns into a bed. Linens will be provided upon request. For your comfort, all the beds have hotel-quality linens.

There is a large full bathroom with tub/shower combo. You will find both hot tub towels and hotel-quality white fluffy towels in the cupboard. There is also locally made bodywash/shampoo for you to use during your stay.

- Max usage time of 15-20 minutes.

- Do not add any chemicals or foreign objects into the spa.

- If the hot tub or hot tub area has beer cans or glass breakages this will trigger a water change at your cost.

- Please adhere to the 10 PM quiet time and be respectful of the neighbors. Noise travels far outside of the unit.

- For your peace of mind, a local company cleans the hot tub and balances the chemicals during and between guest stays.
Please note, failure to comply with these rules may result in a minimum $200 fine, plus any additional costs incurred to repair the damage caused.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation of these hot tub rules. We hope you enjoy your stay.
**Changing the temperature**
The easiest way to lower the temperature is to lower the set point. To do this, use the temperature arrow to the desired heat, and then open the cover for a few hours (leave shut if raising the temperature).
Please note, changing the filter cycles effectively puts the tub in an “away” mode. This means the tub can no longer clean itself effectively and may result in the water needing an urgent change. If these settings are changed the aforementioned fine will be issued. Our professional maintenance team checks the tub after each guest's stay.
