Guests & Visitors

We completely understand that plans can change!

Overnight guests:

Everyone staying overnight must be added to the reservation for safety and compliance with our Town of Lancaster permit.

Visiting guests:

If you plan to have visitors at the property during the day, please message us in advance with details about the visit (number of guests and approximate time).

Unregistered Guest Fee:

If the reservation is not updated to include overnight guests, an additional fee of $50 per person, per night may apply.

A portion of this fee is donated to a local conservation group that helps preserve the Lancaster area’s natural beauty.

If your plans change—don’t worry! We’re flexible and happy to help with any updates.

Heating & Cooling

Our home offers flexible heating and cooling so each space can be adjusted for your comfort.

BEDROOM HEATING & COOLING

- Window AC units are installed from late spring through early fall. Each bedroom has its own unit for individual temperature control.

- Operation: The AC units are controlled directly on the unit.

- Switching to Heat:

- When an AC unit is turned on, heat to that room is automatically disabled.

- To use heat instead, turn off the AC unit.

- Use the white wall thermostat to activate heat (turn off Away Mode and set your desired temperature).

DINING ROOM & LIVING SPACE HEATING & COOLING

The main window AC unit in the dining room cools the open dining and living area during warmer months.

- When this AC unit is turned on, the central heat system will automatically turn off. (Bedrooms will not receive heat while the central heat is off.)

- To cool the main area: set the central thermostat to "Off," then adjust the temperature directly on the dining room AC unit.

- To heat the home: turn off the window AC unit and switch the main thermostat to "Heat."

If you need help adjusting any system, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
