greetings! welcome to our little piece of paradise at 6000 feet We hope you have a relaxing and wonderful stay at The Lilac Cottage. FYI: the altitude may make you more tired than usual and the air is extremely dry. Drink lots of water to avoid “altitude headache” and dry mouth. Keep a glass of water by the bed as well as lip-balm. the non-readers will have the head-aches!
this is a non-smoking cabin: if you smoke outside, you must dispose of your butts! if there are any butts found in the yard you will be fined $200 We are adamant about this. We are in an extremely high fire danger area and cigarette butts are a fire danger as well as being unsightly. If there is any evidence of smoking inside the cabin you will lose your $400 security deposit. Please respect the house rules and appreciate that most of our guests are looking for clean mountain air and fresh smelling cabins. Please do not book with us if this is a problem.
the locked door to the left of the fireplace is not to be opened as it leads to the utility room which you will not be using
cottage temperature: summer: heat rises so the upstairs bedroom will get very warm during the day Close the door and open the window to the room and it will be very comfortable by evening (it also has a window fan). If the upstairs bedroom is not being used, please keep its door closed and window open. We have a portable A/C unit in the living room that cools the cabin nicely! Only run it while in the cabin and never cooler than 74 degrees w/windows closed. Open all of the windows in the evening and close them in the morning; no AC required! Winter: The wall heater will warm cabin nicely. Keep bedroom doors open for heat to enter.
first bedroom: the first room has a queen size bed and a small closet
second bedroom: this small bed room has a full size bed with a small closet just like the first
bathroom: there are extra supplies under the sink as well as in the basket in the cabinet, ie. hair dryer, lotions.... Please limit shower time as the hot water heater does not replenish very quickly and because of the extreme water restrictions we’ve been given. After seven minutes the water will get rather chilly (the non-readers will be in for a chilly surprise!). In WW we all have septic tanks so we must be mindful of what gets flushed. Please do not flush any feminine products, hand wipes, paper towels or diaper wipes. Any plumber fees incurred for the plug up by these items will be removed from your security deposit. There is no bathtub.
kitchen: apartment sized refrigerator and microwave Apt size gas stove/oven. Fully stocked with dishes, utensils, cups, pots and pans, traditional coffee maker, and toaster. Feel free to use or leave behind any condiments and/or food items in the refrigerator and cabinets. Please do not run more than one extra appliance concurrently as this is an older home and we don’t want to blow a fuse. Please do not put waste down the sink as there is no garbage disposal; we have a septic tank and it is far too hard on the system. Please put garbage in the trash, compost in compost container by back gate, and recycling in recycling bins. There are clearly marked containers by the kitchen door. There is an additional metal can for CRV recycling (benefits local students!). Trash and recycling MUST be separated. Trash pick up is on Tuesday early morning. If you are at the cabin on Monday night, please take your trash out to street. We are under extreme water restrictions, so if you would like to help out by washing your dishes above the big pot under the sink and then throwing the water onto the lilacs in the front yard or any other plants, the plants and I would thank you!!! The kitchen door has a funky old lock on it that only locks from the inside...don’t lock yourself out!
upstairs bedroom: this small carpeted bedroom has a twin bed (bigger than a toddler bed, smaller than a twin) & is stocked with toys…perfect room for the kiddos In the hall closet above stairs there is a Pack and Play, baby gate, and fold out mattress. Please supervise young children on the stairs. If you are not using this room in the winter, keep the door closed so the heat stays downstairs. This room gets very warm (heat rises), please crack the window if the door is open.
living room: there is a 50” inch wall mounted flat screen smarttv We have Wifi, so feel free to stream, but remember to log out of your account before you check-out. Please keep the remote out of the reach of little ones as pushing the wrong buttons will disable the TV. Please return remote to coffee table.
linens: pull back the bedspread and sheets of any used beds so it is obvious that the bed was used
water: wrightwood water comes from wells, so when it comes out of the tap it’s under high pressure and full of bubbles The bubbles will disappear within a minute and you’ll have crystal clear water. I love Wrightwood water and think you will too. again, drink lots of water; i get a pounding headache when i don’t!
yard: the spacious fenced in backyard has a table and five chairs as well as a full size hammock (not in winter) and charcoal weber barbeque (you need to bring your own coals and lighter fluid) The string of lights can be plugged in by the kitchen door; please do not leave them on overnight (I will get a call from the neighbors!). There are also flood lights out back. To turn them on just twist the bulb in. There is a front deck with a small table and chairs. There is also a secluded sitting area in the front yard surrounded by lilac bushes. enjoy the propane run firepit on the back deck and let us know if you run out of propane!
fireplace: we suggest using duraflame logs..it is a three hour commitment. This is a traditional fireplace…the flue is open and only use one Duraflame log at a time. IF IT IS WINDY, DO NOT LIGHT A FIRE. Never leave a fire lit if you are leaving the cabin.
directions: if you are coming from south of the 15/215 split, travel north on the 15 and exit on 138 When you exit on the 138 turn left (west) towards Palmdale/Wrightwood. Travel eight miles until you reach HWY 2 (the first light). Turn left and travel approximately five miles. After the burn area (2022 Sheep Fire) you will see homes. Turn left on Elm (just before the Fire Station) and head uphill about five blocks to Helen. Turn left and the cabin is the third one on your right. An alternative, and much more beautiful route would be to exit 138, but right after you go over the bridge take a left on Lone Pine Canyon Road. The grade is a little steeper, but it’s a beautiful drive (only take this when the roads are completely clear of snow!)..
