SAUNA INSTRUCTIONS To turn the sauna "ON", turn the timer knob (the one towards the back) FULLY to the right (the “8 hour” position), then back to the left towards the “off” position.  Go slow as you turn left and approach the “off” position.  As you approach the "off" position, passing the "1 hour" position, listen for the distinct sound of electricity turning on which happens at approximately the 30-minute mark.  The heater will stay on for only ~30min; for additional time repeat these steps. SNOW POLICY SCENIC MOUNTAIN. Welcome to our vacation retreat! During winter, for significant snowfall we will have the driveway plowed before your arrival so you can park your vehicle and do our best to make sure the stairs and walkway to the front door are clear.  Additionally, you will have the option to either pay a fee for our snow removal service or use the provided shovels to clear the snow on the walkways, and deck path to the hot tub yourself at no extra cost. Additionally, if it does snow while you are there and you’d like us to set up plowing of the areas by the cars for ease of access to the road this can be done as well for an additional fee.  Alternately this too can be done with the shovels we provide.  Please be aware that we are not liable for any injuries due to winter conditions like slips and falls or auto accidents. We advise checking weather and road conditions before arrival, and it might be necessary to have chains or a 4x4 vehicle for safe access.  NOTE. The host is not responsible for any power outages, or utility interruptions, whether planned or unplanned, caused by SCE outages, propane delivery issues, or other unforeseen circumstances. If such disruptions were to happen during your stay, we kindly ask for your understanding and cooperation without expecting a refund of rents and fees. Your understanding and cooperation are greatly appreciated for a comfortable and safe stay.
