We've left it out on the sofa table in hopes that you will read it and that it will answer most of your questions. It has great ideas, descriptions and directions. We appreciate when our guests read the Guest Manual and let us know! WHAT IF THE AIR QUALITY IS BAD? Our policy is to refund nights not stayed should the air quality be bad due to smoke. WHAT ARE WINTERS LIKE? Winters are November to February. Nights are cooler than days. Usually the sun comes out a bit even in winter. There are only a couple of times a year that we get severe winter storms. Always carry chains when you come visit in the winter months as we live in the mountains.
