Our House is Your House<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thanks so much for renting the Sugarhouse Unit at Crossett Hill Lodge. This Guide<\/em> tells you how to get in, how to find what you need, and how to enjoy the area. Please read it through before you arrive, and consult it as necessary during your stay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We trust you will leave the unit and its contents as you found them. Please do not hesitate to contact us during your stay with any questions or comments. We would love your feedback to help us make future rentals successful. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Arriving at the Sugarhouse Unit<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Sugarhouse Unit is located above the Sugarhouse building at 746 Crossett Hill Road, Duxbury, Vermont. You may check in any time after 4:00 PM.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Take the southern-most entrance to Crossett Hill Road off Route 100. It\u2019s a horseshoe-shaped road. The north entrance to Crossett Hill takes you several miles around the horseshoe. The south entrance takes you up a steep hill, but is much shorter on the gravel road. Our house is on the right, where you’ll see the crossed skis with 746 nailed to a poplar tree. Drive down the driveway and park in the area to the right of the Sugarhouse. Don\u2019t park in front of the garage doors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Loft Unit (where we live and rent occasionally to other guests) has its own entrance through the garage. The Sugarhouse entrance is on the east side of the Sugarhouse building, under the roof of the woodshed. We will provide you with the visitor code for the keypad lock. You\u2019ll proceed up the stairs to the Sugarhouse unit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even though you are staying in a separate building, please honor quiet hours in the evening after 10 PM. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Coats, Hats, and Footwear<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

You may hang coats and hats and boots in lower level of the entryway. No shoes that were worn outdoors should be worn upstairs. You will find slippers in the entryway for wearing inside the house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Putting your stuff away<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

You may store boots and outdoor shoes under the bench in the entryway. Upstairs you\u2019ll find a small hanging closet. You\u2019ll find an empty refrigerator and cupboard space for your food in the kitchenette.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Linens and such<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

All beds have been provided with fresh sheets, and the bathroom with fresh towels. Extra sheets and towels and blankets are located under the bed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wood Stove<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Talk to Jim (508 904 0749) before using the wood stove if you have any questions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mini-Split Heating and Cooling System<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The unit on the west wall provides basic heating and cooling. Its remote control is oneself Setting it at 68\u00ba when it\u2019s cold, and 74\u00ba when it’s hot, will keep you comfortable. In the winter, set the round ceiling fan to low speed \u2014 #1 on the little black remote in the windowsill \u2014 to circulate the heat around the room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Auxiliary heat<\/strong>
In very cold weather, we suggest that you turn up the knob on the floor heater under the kitchen cabinet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
