How The Little House works.
CLICK ON A FEATURE FOR ITS INFORMATION
Bath Products
Most of the bath products in The Little House are Molton Brown and are somewhat highly scented. For our guests with sensitivity to such highly scented products, we proudly offer Thrive products as well. They are naturally scented, using only pure essential oils for scent, plus they are free of parabens, petroleum products, preservatives and phlalates. They are also cruelty free :-)
There are several wireless charging pads around the room. 90% of the outlets around The Little House have dual USB plugs for your convenience.
Charging Stations
Desk Space
The desk comes complete with a pull out on wheels to expand to a L-Shaped desk. There is a USB-C cable available, should you have a new laptop. The desk is complete with basic desk supplies. The wireless printer is available inside the closet.
Fireplace
It is easy to turn the fireplace on and off using the remote. There is a switch and a slider on the wall by the desk which also controls the fireplace. The switch should always be in the position for the remote to work. The sliders control the color and the brightness. For some stupid reason, they do not make a remote that also controls the color and the brightness.
Heating
The heating in the little house sucks. I never should've listened to the contractor when he insisted that I put in a radiant heat floor. It takes forever to warm up. A small space heater would've done a better job. But nonetheless, it's the way it works. The floor is set to automatically turn the heat on for two hours starting at 7 AM and it turns off at 9 AM. If for any reason you need to turn the heat up, just turn up the thermostat. Just be aware it may take a few centuries to warm up the room. conversely, you can turn the temperature down. Or you can change the temperature mode from heat to off.
The heated towel bar is set to automatically go on at 7:00 AM and go off at 10:00 AM . If you want to turn it on manually, just gently depress the switch on the left. The switch on the right, is a bypass switch which must always be in the “on” position in order for the towel bar to work.

Lights
Most of the lights in the house can be controlled by the switches on the wall or by using the wink application on the iPad. The two exceptions are the closet light and the lights over the bed which can be controlled manually by the switches nearby.
​
Outside Lights: The outside lights that are mounted to the house automatically go on at dusk and off at dawn. You can manually turn them on and off using the switch on the wall, or by using the Wink application on the iPad.
The microwave is located in the cabinet just over the bar, on the left side, bottom shelf.

Music
The ceiling in both the main room and the bathroom have ceiling speakers. The iPad is usually connected to the bluetooth. If you want to connect your device, search for the ______ in bluetooth settings.
At times, it is easy for the little house to get to warm, perhaps even at night. Open the door, use a doorstop hanging outside the house to make sure it stays in place, and close the screen door. Please be careful when opening the screen door to hold the doors and let them go back into their pockets slowly so as not to damage them.

Shades
Note: please be careful with the shades. Please try very hard not to help them up and down manually. Please use the remote control.
If the shades are down, a small tug downward will cause them to go up 20% of the way.
The little white remote control works the shades. The arrows on the left will raise the shade or shades all the way up or all the way down. The four buttons on the right will cause the shades to go to the 20%, 40%, 60%, or 80% position. Pressing the little round button on the bottom left will allow you to choose which shade you want to control. Sitting on the bed, the #1 is furthest to the left and then #2 and so on until #5 which is the one over the small window. Continuing to depress the little round button will get you to a place where all five buttons are lit and that will cause all of the shades to go up or down together.
