Wildlife – There is plenty of wildlife in the area. Please be sure not to leave any food items or trash outside the cabin that might attract unwanted visitors. Any trash items should be placed in the trash bin outside.
Water & Septic – You’ll find our water to be some of the best tasting water in the Hills! We have our own well and septic system. Please note that water pressure will decrease when using multiple sources, e.g. washing machine, toilet flushing, showering. We also have a limited septic system, so please limit your laundry use to 1 load per day and showers short.
Trash – Please place all trash in bags in the trash bin outside of the cabin. If you are at the cabin Thursday, please put the trash bin down by the road before you leave or before 6am on Friday. The trash bin can be brought back up to the cabin when it is empty.
Heating the Cabin: The cabin is heated by propane heaters and electric baseboard heat. Please keep all heating sources clear of any clothing, blankets, pillows, luggage, furniture, or other items that could start a fire.
For the Upper Level there are thermostats in each room for the electric baseboard heaters. We recommend turning them to ‘Comfort’ to begin with and then adjust as needed. If you choose to open windows in any room, please turn the thermostat to ‘Off’.
The Upper Level also has a gas fireplace stove. This heats up the space quickly, so if you want the ambiance, turn off the electric baseboard heat in this area. The gas fireplace stove thermostat is on the wall by the stairs. Slide the switch on the thermostat to ‘Heat’ and adjust the up or down arrow as needed. We find keeping the temperature at 68ºF is quite comfortable. If the stove does not ignite, check to make sure the switches on the back are switched to ‘On’ on the left and ‘Remote’ on the right. PLEASE NEVER TURN THE RIGHT SWITCH TO ON. Also make sure the gas fireplace stove is plugged in to the wall so the fan will blow.
For the Lower Level Great Room, we prefer you utilize the propane wall heater and not the baseboard heaters. The thermostat is on the wall by the stairs. Slide the switch on the thermostat to ‘Heat’ and adjust the up or down arrow as needed. We find keeping the temperature at 68ºF is quite comfortable.
For the Lower Level Bathroom and Bedroom we recommend turning the thermostats to ‘Comfort’.
When you leave, please turn the propane wall heater thermostat down to 50ºF (or ‘Off‘ in the summer) and turn all electric baseboard thermostats to ‘Off’.
Cooling the Cabin:
There are wall mounted air conditioning units throughout the cabin that can be used as a fan to circulate air as well as for cooling. These are controlled by the white remotes. You can turn the fan operation on by pressing the red circle ‘Power’ button. Press the ‘Mode’ button to select from a variety of cooling options.
Kitchen Items: The kitchen is fully stocked with most everything you should need for preparing meals. Feel free to use anything that you find in the kitchen. Please just wash, dry and put away when finished.
Games - Please feel free to use and enjoy any of the games in the game room. We just ask that you please pick up the pieces and return them to the game that they belong to in order to keep them organized for the next guest.
TVs: The TVs are smart TVs with wifi.
Washer and Dryer: The washer and dryer are standard units with standard operation. Due to the limits on our septic system, we ask you to limit your loads to one per day.
Grill and Outdoor Heater: Feel free to use the outdoor grill or propane heater on the deck. There is a propane tank connected to the grill that can also be used for the heater. There is a lighter in the drawer to the left of the kitchen sink. Please clean the grill when done using it.
Bugs - We absolutely love the Black Hills and all it has to offer! However, please remember that you are in the forest and while we have an excellent cleaning and pest control crew, it’s common to see a few spiders or bugs around, that’s just cabin life.
SoloStove Fire Pit: There is a SoloStove Fire Pit down by the creek. This is only to be used by adults and in appropriate conditions. DO NOT USE the fire pit when the National Weather Service or Forest Service has listed the fire danger as extreme or high risk of fire.
