Welcome to Mini-Mod #3! We hope this guide provides you all the information you might need. If you have any questions or need our help, please don’t hesitate to get in touch with us. Relax, enjoy yourselves, and whatever you do, please don’t make us famous! ~james, chad The Mini-Mod is over 50 years old, and takes a bit of care to keep it up. • For our guests with children, please place breakables out of reach. • Please only flush what has come out of your body or on TP down the toilet. • Use only water to clean up spills on the sofa. • Please do not drape wet towels over the railings. Use the peg coat racks instead. • You are welcome to snuggle with your dog on the sofa after protecting it with drop cloth from the basket nearby. A dog bed, bowls, leash and dog bags are provided. • The redwood forest is full of flying insects. If any get indoors, turn on the light switch labeled "bug" located next to the kitchen. We use it as a nightlight, while trapping the unwelcome guests. The Rules of the Ranch Under the surface of our quiet community is a strictly enforced set of rules. The Sea Ranch has its own private security which patrols the community, and keeps an eye on specifically on rental properties like ours. Please abide by the following in order for us to not to be cited and fined: • No smoking in the house or on the trails or roads. If you must smoke, please smoke within the fenced parking area only, and be mindful of extinguishing your cigarette. • Dogs must be on leash, and in your control at all times (even in the yard.) Please pick up after your dog. Our dog park is up the road on Deer Trail just east of Highway 1. • No amplified music outdoors. There are strict 9pm-7am quiet hours. Please no yelling, or loud voices during that time. • Please observe the posted speed limits. • Stay on the trails. Much of The Sea Ranch is private property, which should be respected. • No flying of drones (indoors and out) Outdoors • Covers for the outdoor butterfly chairs are located in the bag hanging on the coat rack. • Please turn off the tank valve when you're done grilling. Heat The thermostat is located above the refrigerator. It can take some time to bring the cabin up to temperature. We suggest building a fire in the fireplace in the mean time. Fireplace Other Esherick owners confide that we all share fireplaces with a poor draw, which causes the slight smoke scent to the house. The firewood is located by the parking area next to the trash bins. WHEN STARTING A FIRE, PLEASE MAKE CERTAIN THE DAMPER IS OPEN. It's a metal lever located in the upper left of the firebox. The damper is open when the lever is up. Please crack a window is cracked to assist with the draw (we often crack the bathroom window.) Please use firestarters and kindling to start a robust fire, in order to prevent smoke damage to the house. Do not close the fireplace doors while there is a fire, as the glass will break. GUESTS WILL BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR SMOKE DAMAGE TO THE HOUSE, WHICH CAN COST THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS. PLEASE BE CAREFUL. If fire alarms go off, Security may be summoned for a welfare check. Hazards & Emergencies The forest is home to mountain lions, bears, scorpions, black widow spiders, biting redwood spiders, Sasquatch, ticks and poison oak. Be careful and pay attention, especially at night. There’s a first aid kit in the kitchen drawer above the dishwasher, and urgent medical services are available at Redwood Coast Medical Services in Gualala at 707.884.4005. In an emergency, dial 911. With the remoteness, power does occasionally go out in the area during storms. There is a power outage kit in the loft room closet. Use ice packs in the freezer to extend the life of the perishables. The Del Mar Center at 40600 Leeward Rd has a generator and fully functional kitchen for use during an extended power outage. TV and Music We provide streaming live TV through Hulu. Download the Sonos app to play your own playlist on the Soundbar. Hot Tub and a few safety reminders • Check the water temperature before use. • Shower before using the hot tub to remove dirt and oil based products. • Children must be supervised at all times. • No diving or jumping. • Try to limit the tub usage to 15 min intervals to avoid dizziness, nausea and fainting. • Consult your doctor prior to tub use if you have any medical conditions. • • Pregnant women must consult a doctor prior to use. • Do not use the tub if you are under the influence of drugs or alcohol. • Replace the tub cover after use. Check-Out Check out is at 11am (sharp). Here's a quick checklist for your departure. • Double check to make certain you’ve not left anything behind. The house is inventoried after each stay, so should you leave something behind, we'll be in touch. • Return the ID cards and parking passes to the lanyard and hang them on the coat rack. There is a $250 fee for any missing parking passes or ID cards. • If you’re feeling domestic (or just plain guilty), go ahead and start a load of dishes and take out the trash. Please leave the laundry to the housekeepers for sanitization. • Please lock all the doors and close the windows. Return the keys to the lockbox.
