Your Bathroom
We strive to provide environmentally conscious accommodations without compromising on luxury or quality. One of our biggest challenges here on the coast is water conservation; to that end, we have installed dual-flush toilets and restricted-flow shower heads in all of our baths. We have selected for you a collection of luxury amenities by EO Products of Marin and plush cotton towels for your comfort and indulgence. Luxurious bathrobes are available in out hot tub accommodations.
Cell Phone Service
Cell phone reception is limited on the North Coast, and most guests will only receive service while in town. You can also give out our number (707-937-5525) as a contact number during your stay, and we will take and deliver messages for you. We do recommend enabling WiFi Calling, or downloading WhatsApp before your arrival, so that you'll be able to use the Wi-Fi for texts and calls. iMessages should work under WiFi.
Check-out
Check-out time is 11:00 am. We ask that this time be respected for our incoming guests. An additional charge may be assessed for a late check-out.
Emergencies
If you have an emergency, please call 911. An after-hours manager on duty can be contacted by calling 707-937-2859. Our street address is 7051 North Highway 1 in Little River.
Fire Extinguishers
There is a fire extinguisher located underneath the kitchen sink.
Fireplaces & Heat
The fireplace in your cottage is also your heat source and is controlled by the thermostat remote on the wall. Simply set the thermostat to your desired temperature by pressing the "set" button and while the numbers are flashing, press the up and down arrows to adjust. When the numbers stop flashing, press the up arrow and a little flame icon will appear on the right on the readout. Push the down button and it will disappear. The fireplace will not come on if the flame is not visible. Please do not attempt to adjust the stove itself! If you need assistance, please don’t hesitate to call.
