THE ROOM: The great room is an open area on the main floor of the house, featuring a two-story, window-filled wall that looks out over the deck towards the nature preserve behind the property.
SMART LIGHTS: Much of the house is set up with smart lights, controlled by an Amazon Echo device and remote control dimmer switches. In the main area of the house (great room + kitchen + dining), most of the bulbs are colored smart lights. Most of the lamps and some accessory lights have standard, manual bulbs. See the Amazon Alexa and Smart Lights sections for details on using these features.
GAS FIREPLACE: There is a gas fireplace in the great room, which can assist greatly in heating up the house. It is operated by a silver remote control kept on (or near) the mantle and can be set to maintain a certain ambient temperature. Please do not leave the fireplace turned on overnight or when you leave for any length of time.
AIR CONDITIONING: An air conditioning unit is kept in the window in the dining area during the summer months. It must be first plugged in and can be operated on its control panel or by a remote. It is useful for decreasing the humidity in the main room during the afternoon hours of the summer.
OVERHEAD FAN: To help with room temperature, it is advisable to turn on the overhead fan in the great room, which is set to pull air cool upwards in the summer and push warm air downwards in the winter. The fan assists in maintaining an even temperature throughout the main area and loft of the house in any season. The switch for the fan is on the wall below the stairs to the loft, labeled as “Fan.”
SPEAKERS: There is a Bluetooth speaker on the small table next to the stairs, which is plenty loud enough to also be heard on the deck using the volume dial on the back. See the Audio & Video Devices section regarding this speaker.
READING NOOK: There is a reading nook in the area of the loft overhanging the great room. There is a chair, ottoman, and lamp in that area, along with a small shelf of books.
COFFEE TABLE: The coffee table in the great room contains a copy of this handbook, a map of the resort’s walking/skiing trails, and a blank scorecard from the golf course.
