With linen discount only guests staying 5 days or more may have access to W&D. Guests should keep home reasonably clean and remove muddy and wet footwear. Please don’t keep fish in the refrigerator. There is a large cooler in garage for use.
8. Fireplace: The fireplace is a non-vented propane gas log fired firebox. Please do not throw any paper or other combustible materials in the fireplace or attempt to cook anything. Turn fireplace off, including pilot light, if unattended and never leave on during sleep time. See operating instructions by fireplace opening.
9. Water and Septic: The cottage is on a well and septic system. The well is 400 feet deep and water is potable and tastes great by owner’s experience. The septic system is very effective; however, it will clog up if improper materials are flushed. DO NOT FLUSH anything other than toilet paper and natural human waste. If a blockage occurs as a result of improper materials being flushed you may be charged the cost of clearing line obstruction. These are low volume flush toilets so hold handle until all water in reservoir has been flushed.

Owner may insist guests depart or not arrive if owner considers Abbey Ridge Retreat is not or will not be suitable for habitation due to potential loss of utilities and/or road closing due for acts of God. Such contingencies will be communicated between guests and owner to acknowledge safety first and financial settlement secondary. No refunds will be given for normal winter weather that includes snow, ice, black ice etc that occurs often in the mountains from Thanksgiving to mid-March. We highly recommend four wheel or all wheel drive vehicles or have chains available during the snow months because mountain roads can be steep, curvy and/or not maintained and weather unpredictable.
