Vermont Meals and Room Tax Number: MRT-11472019 Guest access The home is equipped with a smart lock on the front door. Enter your access code on the keypad - a green light will flash to confirm it's been accepted. If the light flashes red, the code may have been entered incorrectly; allow 5 seconds for the lock to reset and try again. Once the code is accepted, rotate the deadbolt beneath the keypad away from the door jamb to unlock it, then open the door. When you leave, press the Schlage button on the keypad, rotate the deadbolt toward the door jamb to engage it, and make sure it's fully locked - the lock does not lock automatically. If you need assistance with the smart lock, a video guide is available to walk you through the process. Other things to note The home has continuously running fans on the downstairs and upstairs levels that work as an air exchange system, keeping the home fresh and comfortable. Emergency supplies are available throughout the home: a first aid kit, fire extinguishers, and a fire blanket are in the mudroom closet; battery-operated lanterns are in the kitchen pantry and in each bedroom. In the event of a power outage, flashlight charging lines are in the kitchen pantry, the gas stove can be lit with a lighter from the drawer to the left of it, and gallons of drinking water are stored in the mudroom closet. Snow shovels are also in the mudroom closet. The home is extremely well insulated and will stay warm for several days even if the heat goes out.
