Everything you need to settle in — codes, schedules, and a few quiet quirks of the cottage. Save this page; pull it up anytime during your stay.
The cottage uses keyless entry on the front door. Please enter and exit through the front, and use the desk key for everything else.
Front door · keyless entryYour door code is provided in the Airbnb app the morning of check-in. If anything goes wrong, text either of us — we're nearby and happy to help.
The desk keyA single key on the desk unlocks three things: the kitchen sliding door, the garage door from the back patio, and the inside padlock on the patio gate.
Fast fiber throughout the home.
Plenty of free street parking. If the curb is full, feel free to parallel park directly in front of the double garage.
Garage parkingYou're welcome to use the left side of the garage. It's a narrow stall, so take it slowly entering and exiting. A remote will be on the desk; an outside keypad also opens it.
A few small things, mostly for the neighbors and the home.
The kitchen is yours — please use anything you'd like. We've tried to stock it as fully as possible; if something's missing, just let us know and we'll see if we can get it for you.
Coffee & tea barComplimentary Peet's coffee, tea, and creamer to get you started. To-go cups and lids are on the counter.
Where things liveA single Nest thermostat in the living room controls the home. It may be on "eco mode" when you arrive.
To use it: tap the right side of the dial to wake it up, scroll up or down to set your preferred temperature, then tap once more to confirm.
We use Google Home to manage the Nest thermostat, the front door camera, and the garage gate camera and floodlight. If it'd be useful, we're happy to invite you to the home so you can manage all of this during your stay.
There are no interior cameras of any kind.
The remote lives on the fireplace mantle. The TV's apps are ready to go — just sign in to your own streaming accounts.
FireplaceCollection is on Thursdays (unless there's a holiday). Please put the bins out in front of the garage on Wednesday night and pull them back in Thursday after pickup.

Dino and his dad are our landscapers. They come every other Wednesday, mid-morning, and stay about an hour or two.
Front and back yards are on automatic sprinklers — nothing to do there.
There are three live indoor houseplants. If you're comfortable doing so, please water each one weekly. The large deli container in the drawer below the microwave is the right amount for each plant.
Housekeeping isn't included with your rental. If you'd like us to arrange weekly or bi-weekly cleaning with our housekeeper, just reach out — we're happy to set it up and share details.
Enjoy your stay.
