The water is supplied by a sand point, which can sometimes have low pressure. We kindly ask that you be mindful of water use, especially when showering. To prevent running out of water, please avoid using the dishwasher or kitchen tap while showering. We also ask that the bathtub only be filled if absolutely necessary, such as for bathing children.

If the water stops while you’re showering or filling the tub, it should return after a few minutes. If you need help, please contact Darryl.

Heating

The heat is typically turned off from June to August, as it’s usually not needed. However, if you do feel chilly, you can adjust the thermostat—located on the wall next to the bunk bed room—by turning the dial to the ‘Comfort Zone’ to control the heat in the living room and kitchen. Make sure the breaker switch is on (you’ll find the panel in the kitchen cabinet next to the fridge).

Baseboard heaters are located in the following areas:

• Living room: behind the couch

• Kitchen: under the table

• Large bathroom: under the vanity

• Bedroom 1

• Bedroom 2

The baseboard heaters in the bathroom and bedrooms each have their own dials and need to be turned on individually.

Please contact Darryl if you need assistance adjusting the temperature.

Cooling

There is no AC at Maplewood Cottage as it is generally not needed. There are fans located in the living room and in each bedroom. In the summer months, it is recommended to keep the windows closed in the afternoons and open in the evenings. There is a dehumidifier in the living room as well.
