HOUSE RULES

  1. Please, no shoes inside: Please remove shoes when you are inside. If you are visiting during winter months, bring slippers.
  2. No smoking indoors: Please pack out your cigarette butts along with your other trash.
  3. Please keep and eat food in the kitchen and dining room only.
  4. Please wipe down the kitchen counters after every meal to avoid attracting ants.
  5. Please feel free to use any basic supply within reason. We ask that you replenish anything that you finish.
  6. Heating during the cold winter months:
    • THE FARM HOUSE has a propane heater and a wood stove. Please know what you are doing with the stove and bring some kindling.
    • THE POOL HOUSE: The Pool House is heated with a radiant floor heating system which takes 24 hours to crank up. You can also use the woodstove-style fireplace. Kindling helps.
  7. Stay on the trails and watch out for poison oak. There is a lot of poison oak (even in winter dormancy, it's potentially perilous). Wash yourself and your clothes with Tec-Nu if you think you were exposed. Poison oak that touches your clothing can leave an invisible residue that can give you poison oak weeks later. You can purchase Tec-Nu at Long's Drugs in Sebastopol (near Fiesta Market on Rte. 116) or at Rite-Aid in Sebastopol (near Safeway on Rte. 116).
  8. Wasps during the Summer months: There are wasps around during the Summer, especially around the pool and the back porch of the Big House. The wasps will swarm over any food, especially meat. If you are allergic to wasp/bee stings, please come prepared. There is a small medical kit located in the drawers next to the toilet adjacent to the pool, and another one in the Farm House's kitchen closet. To prevent wasps/bees from getting into the houses, be sure to keep the door to the Pool House closed and the kitchen door of the Big House closed.
  9. Pack out your trash and recyclables. Trash pickup is on the driveway, and your help in getting the bags to the pickup spot is appreciated. 
  10. Local Hospital and Doctor: The nearest hospital is Palm Drive Hospital in Sebastopol on Petaluma Avenue. Phone number: (707) 823 - 8511. In Santa Rosa, there is both the Memorial Hospital and the Sutter Hospital.
  11. Celebrate: We encourage a fun time but please be responsible and kind to your surrounding. Due to our being in a canyon, sounds echo all over, so we ask that you bring the celebration in by 10:00pm.
