  • The switch for the natural gas fireplace is located just above the flagstone base on the lower right hand side. If the pilot flame has gone out, flip off the switch, remove the lower face plate panel underneath the glass facade, (get on your knees to see this), rotate the gas control knob so that "pilot" is on the bottom, and press the pilot spark button on the right hand side. Once the pilot lights, rotate the gas control knob back to the "on" position, replace the face plate panel, and, finally, flip on the switch.

Housekeeping is provided prior to the guest's arrival.
  • Radiant Heat: The house has new technology, quick reacting "warmboard" radiant heat on all levels. Please move the thermostats incrementally, and allow 1 hour to feel the results. If you try to raise the temperature too rapidly by moving the thermostat a large amount, it will warm up and then get too warm, and will stay that way for a period of time before cooling off. Trust me. There are 5 zones throughout the house.
