  • Inside, the Great Room is quite impressive, with towering glass windows that give occupants a continuous view to the north, the “roadside pullout” view
  • All furniture in the great room is new, except the dining table, which has been in the family for years. The television is a 55-inch LG mounted to the wall with moveable arm. An efficient and excellent gas log fireplace and pieces on the walls complete this room
  • Dining area seats up to ten people comfortably
  • Kitchen is adjacent Great Room, fully equipped with electric stove and matching microwave, refrigerator with ice maker, dishwasher, Keurig coffee maker with ample condiments and K-cups, toaster oven, mixer, blender, toaster, and mini-Quisinart.

  • Upstairs are two more bedrooms with king beds: Sunrise (east side of the house, gets sun first) and Balcony (access to outdoor balcony over hot tub with outstanding views, swing, and chairs, plus shared access to balcony overlooking Great Room.
  • Balcony overlooking Great Room has fine leather seating for 3-4 people, another Keurig coffee maker with cups and all condiments
  • Downstairs from the main floor is another full bathroom plus two more bedrooms. It is quite dark here without artificial light, so we dubbed this area “The Dungeon.” Dungeon I bedroom has a new queen bed and is appointed very nicely so a couple could easily use it. Dungeon II has twin beds and is, like all rooms at RidgeHaven, tastefully decorated.

RESTRICTIONS AT RIDGEHAVEN

  • The primary renter at RidgeHaven must be at least 30 years old
  • Two areas are off limits to guests: (1) The hall closet upstairs with a hasp and combination lock in it. Housekeeping keeps most of their supplies for cleaning and replacing all linens, etc, in this closet; and (2) The entire small garage, where numerous pieces of extra furniture, more supplies, rugs, small engine appliances such as blower, weed eater, chain saw, and the like are stored
  • The garage MAY be entered as an escape route for guests in the downstairs bedroom in the unlikely event of fire or some other disaster. The doors are locked only from the outside, easy to open from the inside.
  • NOISE is our worst enemy. This is a residential neighborhood, not a rental neighborhood, and excessive noise could result in our privilege to rent this property being withdrawn. NO NOISY VEHICLES, MOTORCYCLES (negotiable if yours is one of the well-muffled varieties), FIREWORKS, SHOOTING FIREARMS, etc.
  • Deck cushions MUST be stowed after use, lest they become wet and unusable. Put them in the waterproof bin unless the weather report states zero chance of rain; when leaving, putting them away is another important task. DO NOT PUT WET CUSHIONS IN THE BIN! PUT THEM INSIDE SO THEY CAN DRY! AFTER DRYING WE WILL EVALUATE WHETHER REPLACEMENT IS NECESSARY.
  • Safety features include three fire extinguishers in strategic places, smoke and carbon monoxide detectors for each floor, and metal escape ladders for upstairs occupants in case of fire or other disaster. DO NOT REMOVE THESE LADDERS FOR ANY REASON, THEY ARE NOT TOYS. Any evidence of tampering with them AT ALL will result in our replacing them and charging for the cost of a new one.
