Cell service with the major carriers (AT&T, Verizon) is typically good, but feel free to connect to the WiFi and enable WiFi calling.

How to resolve Wi-Fi issues:

The cable modem is likely the cause of any internet connection issues. The cable modem is in the living room on the bookshelf (rectangle box with lights).

1. Unplug it from the power source. Leave it unplugged for a full 60 seconds.
2. Plug it back in and wait for it to finish resetting, usually about 10 minutes.

99% of the time, this should work to reset the connection.

We have a washer and a separate dryer in the utility closet next to the kitchen. Feel free to use the detergent provided.

The home's water comes from an artesian well that we condition further. While natural source waters can have a slight sulfur smell, it's perfectly safe to drink. Bring refillable bottles for your adventures.

Our home utilizes a septic system, so we kindly ask that you be mindful of what goes down the drains and toilets. Please dispose of feminine products, wipes, and other paper goods in the waste bins provided, and be mindful of toilet paper usage. This helps prevent clogs and blockages, avoiding unpleasant situations and additional fees. Thank you for your thoughtfulness.

A TV with Roku is located upstairs in the TV room. Please log out of accounts upon check-out.

The speaker should be available to connect via Bluetooth or as an AIRPLAY source from an app like Spotify, for the best control, we recommend downloading SONO app directly

Extra towels and bedding can be found in the hallway closets.

We have some personal items and maintenance supplies in the garage and in secured bins. The crawlspace is not intended for guest use aside from access to utilities, if required.

Trash & recycle bins are located in the garage. Please separate and place trash, recycling, and paper in the marked cans. All recycling must be washed before placing in cans. Do not bag recycling or paper products.

Can I recycle it? Please review the below graphic to ensure compliance with local law. Non-compliance may result in additional fees.

In rare circumstances, your power may go out because of a storm. We are usually notified automatically when this happens, and we will immediately call and report an outage on your behalf. View the local "outage map" here. In our experience, power issues are fixed within a short period (< 4 hours). The home is equipped with a Generator which will provide backup power on a limited basis.

The fireplace in the living room is fully functional and available for your use. However, it should only be operated by those with prior experience. For your safety and to ensure proper usage, please carefully follow these safety instructions:

1. Check the Flue: Always ensure the flue is open before starting a fire. This allows smoke to escape through the chimney. The flue handle is on the right inside looking up in the fireplace. Ensure the flue is closed upon departure.
2. Use Dry, Seasoned Wood: Only burn dry, seasoned wood to minimize smoke and ensure a clean burn.
3. Avoid Overloading: Do not overload the fireplace with too much wood. A small, controlled fire is safer and more efficient.
4. Never Leave Unattended: Never leave the fireplace unattended while a fire is burning. Always extinguish the fire completely before going to bed or leaving the house.
5. Keep a Safe Distance: Ensure all furniture, decorations, and other flammable items are kept at a safe distance from the fireplace.
6. Use Fireplace Tools: Always use the provided fireplace tools to adjust logs or handle ashes.

If you are unsure about any part of operating the fireplace, please refrain from using it and reach out to us for assistance.

We're delighted to offer you a cozy outdoor hot tub to enhance your stay! Just a heads-up: it might be a bit cool when you first arrive, but don’t worry—it'll warm up to the perfect temperature in just a few hours.

1. No Diving or Jumping: For everyone's safety, no diving, jumping, or standing on the edge of the hot tub.
2. Cover When Not in Use: Kindly ensure the cover is put back on when the hot tub is not in use to keep the water warm and clean.
3. Age Restrictions: Children under 16 must be supervised at all times. Infants and toddlers are not allowed in the hot tub.
4. Shower Before Use: Please rinse off before entering to keep water clean and reduce the need for extra chemicals.
5. No Glassware: Use plastic cups or provided drinkware—glass can break and create a hazard in and around the hot tub.
6. Limit Time in the Hot Tub: Please limit your time to 15-20 minutes per session to avoid overheating.
7. No Food or Alcohol: Avoid food and limit alcohol consumption in the hot tub for safety reasons.
8. No Soap, Oils, or Lotions: These can damage the hot tub and affect water balance.

There is an outdoor barbeque available for your use. It's powered by propane. While there should be enough gas for your stay, please confirm once you arrive. If you require a refill, please let us know or exchange the tank at:

Mobil Gas Station

Valero Gas Station

How to use the BBQ Grill

Before Grilling:

Fuel Check: Make sure the propane tank feels heavy, indicating enough gas. A full tank weighs 20 lb.

Safety Check: Never grill under a porch, gazebo, or covered area. Use grills only in well-ventilated outdoor spaces away from structures and fire hazards. Monitor the grill closely when in use.

Preheating:

• Open the lid.
• Fully open the propane tank valve located on top of the tank.
• Light the burners individually by turning the burner knobs to light position while pushing the ignitor (like a gas stove). If the ignitor doesn't work due to moisture or dirt, use a long BBQ lighter by inserting into access points on the side of the grill or through the grates to the burners. Be careful with gas buildup – if it doesn't light immediately, turn off the gas and let it dissipate before retrying.
• Close the lid and preheat for 10-15 minutes.

Grilling and After:

• Place your food on the preheated grill.
• Cook according to your desired doneness.
• When finished, turn off the knobs.
• Use the provided brush to clean the grates. Scrape off any food debris and stubborn bits.
• Fully close the tank valve.
• Close the lid and let the grill cool down.
• Once cool, cover the grill.

There is an outdoor dining table and chairs, cushions for the chairs are next to the laundry room in the closet.

• A fire pit is in the backyard. Please pay careful attention to the open fire and only burn wood.
• Adult Supervision Required: An adult must be present at all times while the fire pit is lit.
• Please ensure fires are fully extinguished before retiring for the evening.

We strongly suggest 4WD/AWD for winter stays due to private roadways in the area. You may experience snow flurries and the occasional heavy snow accumulation during winter stays. The driveway is plowed automatically once 2 inches of snow has accumulated. A snow shovel can be found in the basement and rock salt for icy conditions on the deck, walkways, or driveway.

Local roads are plowed regularly, roads may be impassable for a few hours during storms. If you don’t have winter driving experience, please take extra care at night and in below-freezing conditions. 

Be careful walking on the decks and walkways in icy conditions.

When booking a house in the countryside, surrounded by lush nature and a nearby national wildlife reserve, it’s important to be prepared for encounters with various wildlife. In the evenings, you may notice an abundance of insects, some of which occasionally find their way indoors. Be cautious with open windows and doors. Additionally, food smells often attract black bears which are known for their curiosity. It’s best to avoid leaving food unattended on decks, porches, or grills, as bears have been known to investigate and even open unlocked cars in search of snacks.

1. Please no smoking of any kind inside the house.
2. Please confine any open fires to the fire pit provided for your enjoyment, per NYS burning regulations. Please ensure that a fire is never left unattended and any fire is fully extinguished.
3. Enjoy grilling, but clean grill after user
4. Please do not play loud music outside after 9 pm as sound can travel and disturb neighbors.
5. Due to fire risk, please no EV charging.
6. Please do not rearrange furniture in the house.

One well-behaved and housebroken dog is welcome! A few rules we'd appreciate your help with to minimize the impact of even the most well-intentioned pups:

• Please clean up after your dog and put any waste in a trash bag before departing.
• Please keep dogs off beds & seating areas. Wipe dirty or muddy paws.
• Please bring pet’s crate, bedding, & blankets.
• Guests are responsible for pet-related damage and excessive cleaning.

IMPORTANT: Light switch by the garage door must be on to supply power to the garage door openers

We understand that sometimes accidents happen! Should you break anything please let us know immediately so we can replace it for the next guest. Thank you!

In case of a fire

• Exit the property as quickly as possible
• Ensure that all persons are accounted for
• Dial 911

For emergency services, call 911. Do not delay if you feel an emergency situation has arisen. State your location as 491 Wilhelm Road.

The Hudson Valley & Catskill region offers fantastic hiking & outdoor adventures, but it's important to be aware of ticks. Here's how to enjoy the outdoors safely:

Before You Hit the Trails:

• Dress Smart: Wear long pants, long-sleeved shirts, and closed-toe shoes. Tuck your pants into socks for an extra barrier.
• Repel Ticks: Choose an EPA-registered insect repellent containing DEET (20% or higher for adults, 10% or lower for children) and follow directions carefully.
• Be Tick-Savvy: Learn about tick habitats and avoid brushing against tall grass and brush where ticks are more common.

While You Hike:

• Stay on the Path: Sticking to the trail reduces your contact with tick-infested areas.
• Do Quick Checks: Throughout your hike, take a moment to scan your clothes and exposed skin for ticks.

After Your Adventure:

• Shower ASAP: A hot shower within 2 hours of being outdoors can help wash away unattached ticks.
• Full Body Check: Carefully examine yourself, children, and pets for ticks, paying close attention to warm, moist areas.

Bluestone mined in the area was transported by wagons to Kingston, where it was shipped to cities around the world. Walk the "yellow" trail that loops around part of Onteora Lake for signs of former bluestone quarrying. The yellow-marked woods road/trail starts at the parking lot on Onteora Lake and winds through an undulating forested landscape of hemlocks, pines and oaks. Trail loops winding through the woods to the north are also excellent for short mountain biking tours.
