Fireplace / Fire-Pit Instructions
[Insert photo: Ranch House fireplace propane key — not yet captured]
Your room is equipped with a wood-burning fireplace ignited using a propane starter. Near the fireplace you’ll find a silver propane key. Insert the key (next to the fireplace, on the right) and turn left to activate the gas. Light the propane using the lighter provided on the mantle and set a few logs on top. Turn the key right once the wood is lit to turn off the gas. Wood is stocked in the basket next to the fireplace, and outside under the carport.
Your fire pit is propane only — do not add wood. Turn the key at the base left to activate the gas, and light the center with the provided lighter. Turn the key right when finished. Front desk staff can assist if you’re unable to light the pit.
Hot Tub Instructions
