ANIMAL DISCLAIMER- Please be mindful that some of the neighboring properties have dogs that will come say hi within the property grounds. They are sweet well cared for dogs but please don’t feed them. Please let me know if you intend on bringing a certified service animal, as I cannot control how the animals might respond to one another. Guest must assume all risk of service pet injury. TEMPERATURE CONTROL- The heat thermostat is in the living room. For optimum heat during cold winter nights, you might want to use the wood stove as well with complimentary wood provided. If you can remember, please turn the thermostat off when you checkout. NOISE- In the winter the heating vents run a little loud. However, we offer a wood stove with a plentiful amount of wood for a quieter heating option. We also provide earplugs if vent noise is a concern. 4WD-Although it is unusual for poor road conditions to last in the winter, please be aware, we do have occasional snowfall that might freeze. A 4WD vehicle might be useful in any part of the Santa Fe area during the winter.
