Fireplaces

Many rooms have wood-burning fireplaces. We equip these with a duraflame-type fire log (two complimentary logs are included with your stay; additional logs available for purchase), for safety and convenience.  Please follow the guidelines for safe and enjoyable use of the fireplace in your room, using only one fire log at a time. Flues have been left open, so no adjustment is required.  Do not attempt to move or remove the fire log once it has been lit - fire logs do not require tending and can break apart if moved while burning.  Please contact the Inn staff if you have any questions about the use of the fireplace.  Housekeeping will clean the fireplace and restock the fire log daily.

Front Desk

Our innkeepers are here to support your needs, but may be elsewhere in the Inn at a given time.  A contact number is shown at the Front Desk and on the information sheet in guest room.

Temperature Control - please contact the Innkeeper if you need assistance.

Cool - The thermostat controls for the air conditioning vary in each room.  Because it is an older structure, air conditioning in the Main House rooms is not available until the main system is turned on during the Spring and Fall shoulder seasons, and is not available in the Winter months.  If it is not clear how to control the temperature in your room, please contact the front desk for assistance.  Fans are available from the Innkeeper, should you need one at anytime.

Heat - Rooms in the Main House are heated using cast-iron (old fashioned) radiators and baseboard units.  Radiators can be turned on and off only.  Baseboard units can be adjusted to control the temperature using the in-room thermostat.   Please do not adjust the white square thermostat to control the heat; this is for the air conditioning only, and will be marked as such.   If you need additional heat, portable heaters are available from the Innkeeper.  Our Orchard Cottage rooms (#16, 17, 18, 19) use the same controls for air conditioning and heat. Eladesor Cottage rooms feature LG Art Cool Air Conditioning units and baseboard heat. Please use the corresponding remote to adjust A/C and the baseboard thermostat to adjust heat. If it is not clear how to adjust the heat in your room, please contact the Innkeeper for assistance.

Wake Up Call
