*****TINY HOUSE ECO-POWER & WATER DISCLOSURE*****
Tiny House living is VERY different from regular house/apartment life.
This Eco-Conscious Tiny Home is designed to conserve energy and have the smallest carbon footprint possible.
With that in mind, the following eco-friendly guidelines must be followed in order for you to enjoy consistent power, water, and heat while staying at the Zen Den:
APPLIANCES - only use ONE at a time!
Only use ONE appliance at a time. This means you either use the hot plate, OR the blender, OR the microwave, but NEVER at the same time. For the love of God, PLEASE do not plug in an electric car! If you do any of these things, you will blow the breaker, and we will try our best to get an electrician out to help you... but they often cannot come same day, and never at night.
HOT WATER CONSERVATION
Tiny House = Tiny Water Heater. Take a peek under the counter closest to the front door. That is ALL your hot water. If you use it all up, you will need to wait several hours for it to regenerate. Our best advice: Take short showers, not baths. If 2 people or more are staying, stagger your shower times so the hot water heater has time to regenerate for you. Do not wash hot dishes before bathing, if a hot shower is important to you. Being aware of your water usage will keep you cozy and comfortable, and is a beautiful part of the eco-friendly Tiny House experience.
OOPS! THE POWER WENT OUT! WHAT DO WE DO?
The best advice we can offer is to open the cupboard closest to the front door. Turn all the breakers OFF with a decent amount of force (if you don’t push it too hard, it won’t do a thing). Then turn them back ON with a decent amount of force - but not TOO much, don’t break it please! Still not working? USE THE BACKUP SYSTEMS OUTLINED BELOW until 10am the following morning. You can also try using this emergency contact, they are authorized to work on the property if they are available, but you will need to pay them directly if the power outage was due to improper usage: Please understand this is a small mountain town, and only 911 is available all the time, so you may need to wait until morning.
BACK UPS WHEN THE POWER GOES OUT
LIGHTS: There is a rechargeable lantern in the Living Room + battery operated lanterns under the kitchen sink. Instructions for everyone are to keep the chargeable lantern plugged in and charging when not in use. Please feel free to enjoy it outside, but PLEASE plug it back in when not in use - for both your sake, and for future guests, thank you! HEAT: The wood burning stove is an EXCELLENT heat source and will keep you toasty warm. Instructions for use & where to get wood can be found in the physical house manual on the coffee table.
OUTSIDE LIGHTS KEEP GOING ON & OFF!
Those are motion sensor lights that activate our security cameras. We do everything we possibly can to make sure you are safe while enjoying your time at the Zen Den.
Thank you for choosing an eco-friendly property to enjoy your time in Idyllwild, we and the planet appreciate you!
Interaction with Guests:
We give our guests space but are available when needed. We are available to communicate for any questions or concerns from 8 am to 10 pm . For a medical emergency or fire please call 911.
We live down the street - so we are always available for anything you may need. Our cleaning team is often on property to use the laundry building, and our maintenance team is there weekly to keep things looking fresh. A full-time tenant currently lives on property and acts as our eyes and ears, making sure the Wildland Wellness Lodge fulfills our promise to provide a peaceful and restorative atmosphere for our guests.
