Your Stay

Appliances, amenities & where to find things

Appliances

The kitchen features a WindMax 4-zone induction cooktop built into the island. It only works with magnetic cookware — use the pots and pans provided.

1
Place a compatible pot or pan on the desired zone (zones are labeled 1–4).
2
Press the power button (⏻) for the zone you want to use.
3
Use the + and − buttons to adjust heat level (1 = low, 9 = high).
4
Press the power button again to turn off the zone when done.
⚠️ The surface stays cool to the touch, but the cookware gets very hot. The display will show "E" if no compatible pan is detected — just remove and try a different pan.
1
Turn the selector knob to the desired cooking mode (Bake, Broil, etc.).
2
Set the temperature using the temperature dial.
3
Allow 10–15 minutes to preheat before placing food inside.
4
Turn selector back to OFF when done. Leave the door slightly ajar to cool.
💡 Oven mitts are in the drawer to the left of the oven.

Coffee, filters, and supplies are provided in the kitchen as part of your continental breakfast.

1
Fill the water reservoir to your desired level using the markings on the side.
2
Place a paper filter in the basket and add coffee grounds (found in the cupboard above).
3
Press the power/brew button and wait for your coffee to brew.
💡 Mugs are in the cupboard above the coffee maker. Help yourself to coffee supplies provided!

A 4-slice toaster is on the kitchen island. Place bread in the slots, adjust the browning dial, and press the lever down. The toast will automatically pop up when done.

⚠️ Please empty the crumb tray after use — it slides out from the bottom.

The LG French door refrigerator has an ice and water dispenser on the left door. To use:

  • Place a glass under the dispenser and press the ice or water pad
  • Select cubed or crushed ice using the button on the panel
  • The freezer is the bottom drawer — pull to open

Please keep breakfast items on your shelf (right side). Do not remove items that belong to the hosts.

Both the rice cooker and slow cooker are available for your use on the lower kitchen shelf. Instructions are on the lids. Please wash and return after use.

The TV remote is on the end table near the sofa. Press the power button to turn on. The TV is connected to the internet — you can log into your own Netflix, Hulu, or other streaming accounts. Please log out before you leave.

💡 WiFi password is shown on the Welcome tab so you can log in to your streaming services.

The thermostat is located on the wall near the master bathroom. Use the up/down arrows to adjust the temperature. We recommend keeping it between 68–72°F for comfort.

Alaska homes are well-insulated — it heats up quickly! Feel free to adjust as needed.

⚠️ Please do not set above 75°F. If the heat isn't working, contact Marty right away.

The washer and dryer are located in the host's space downstairs. They are available to guests by arrangement — just text Marty to coordinate a convenient time.

Laundry detergent is provided. Please move your laundry promptly when the cycle is done.

Where to Find Things

Fresh towels are in both bathrooms — large bath towels on the rack and hand towels on the counter. Extra towels are in the hall closet if you need more.

Extra blankets and pillows are in the hall closet. The room-darkening shades in both bedrooms are great for Alaska's long summer days — pull them fully down for a dark room.

Shampoo, conditioner, and body wash are provided in each bathroom. You'll also find hand soap, tissues, and a hair dryer. If you need anything else, just ask!

Free parking is available in the driveway. Please park to the right side of the garage door (the side closest to the exterior stairs leading up to your entrance). Do not block the garage.

Trash can is in the kitchen (stainless step can near the island). The large green bins outside are for trash — feel free to use them for bag drop. Recyclables go in the blue bin.

  • Pots & pans — lower cabinet, left of island
  • Plates, bowls, glasses — upper cabinets above counter
  • Silverware — top drawer, right of sink
  • Cooking utensils — crock on the island counter
  • Foil, bags, wrap — upper shelf in kitchen alcove
  • Paper towels — under the sink

The master ensuite has a large tiled walk-in shower with multiple jets. Turn the handle to the left for hot water. Allow 30–60 seconds for hot water to arrive.

The hall bathroom has a full bathtub/shower combo. Turn the faucet on and pull up the diverter knob on the faucet spout to switch to the showerhead.

The living room sofa folds out to a bed for additional guests (max 4 guests total). Pull the handle under the front cushions and unfold. Extra linens for the sofa bed are in the hall closet.
