- When leaving the home, the front door automatically locks. Please ensure you close it all the way.

Quiet Times:
- We are located in a residential community, and there are other tenants in the upper chalet. As such, we ask that you respect their privacy and their right to a peaceful existence! Specifically, we request you keep noise to a minimum between the hours of 10 p.m. and 8 a.m.

NOTE: We have requested from the upper chalet's tenants to follow the same quiet times. However, just like any hotel or duplex living, you may hear footsteps or some noise. White-noise device is available by bedside.

Smoking:
- Our home is smoke free. No smoking, including vaping, is allowed inside the home or near an open door.
