Follow the brick path around the right side of the main house back to the cottage. You can see it from your parking space at the end of the path by the street. Of course, you can always come and ring the doorbell (we have a big house so knocking won't work! ;-) and we will personally walk you back to the cottage. Other things to note • No-smoking in the cottage (you may smoke on the front porch), no pets (Jennifer has allergies). • Please remove your shoes. We have a beautiful old brick path leading to the cottage, which means sometimes sand and grit stick to your shoes. Thank you for helping us keep our wood floors beautiful and scratch free. • Real Wood Furniture throughout - Please use coasters for all drinks on all furniture to prevent water damage and wipe spills quickly. Spills on couch should be quickly and gently blotted, not scrubbed and let us know right away. • We love to cook and figure you may as well, so we have provided nice pro-grade pots and pans with non-stick - Note: Never use hotter than medium when cooking (unless boiling water). Higher heat will ruin Teflon/non-stick surface. • Bath fan will shut off automatically once humidity in room has been reduced. Just let it run after showering. It's a good idea to leave the shower door open to promote drying. • Washing dishes is not required, but always appreciated. :-) • Complimentary snacks and beer/sparkling water will greet you upon your arrival, plus freshly ground coffee and an assortment of teas. If you would like to leave reusable food items in the fridge or on shelves to share (such as butter, spices, pasta, cereal, unopened beverages, etc, that's great! Please do take any leftovers with you or dispose of them. Thank you in advance! • Knives are VERY sharp. If you are new to good knives with a true edge, use extra caution, or use the scissors! ;-) • Sheets. We provide really nice sheets so that you get a really nice sleep. 100% premium cotton, 540 thread count luxury. They do come out of the dryer with some wrinkles. This being Eugene, we decided that by not using the energy to press them, we could make the white linens just a little more green. You'll sleep better :-) Note: The Cottage is about 1 mile from the train tracks. You may hear an occasional train. We rarely do.
