EMERGENCY PHONE NUMBERS
For emergency services please immediately call the proper authorities. Do not delay if you feel an emergency situation has arisen.
LOCATION OF FIRE EXTINGUISHER
The fire extinguisher can be found mounted to the pantry door in the kitchen. To operate, remove the fire extinguisher from the mount, pull the safety pin, point in the direction of the fire and squeeze the handle. If the fire extinguisher is used, call the fire department immediately even if you believe the fire is extinguished. Notify the homeowners after calling 911.
LOCATION OF GAS SHUT-OFF VALVE
There are two gas shut off valves for the fireplace (the fireplace is the only appliance that uses gas). The first is found behind the fireplace. It has a red handle and will need to be turned perpendicular to the gas line (see picture). The second shut off can be found outside on the main propane tank. This can be turned off by twisting the valve clock wise until it stops turning.
SMOKE & CARBON MONOXIDE DETECTORS
Our cabin is equipped with smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. The smoke detectors are outside and inside of each bedroom. The carbon monoxide detector is located adjacent to the basement stairs. In the event of a power outage, the devices have battery back-ups. If this fails, the detector will indicate this with timed beeps. If you need to replace a battery in a detector, extra ones can be found inside the night stands of each bedroom.
Misty Mountain Retreat is a non-smoking cabin.

While you are visiting, you are welcome to enjoy the facilities such as Staghorn falls, catch and release fishing in the community stocked pond, hike some of our amazing trails or just kick back and relax at one of the picnic tables. While you are enjoying yourselves, please help us keep the neighborhood pristine by cleaning up any trash you may bring in with you.
Garbage disposal / recycling
GARBAGE DISPOSAL & RECYCLING
If you need to remove waste from the house, the community garbage facility is just up Staghorn Rd. near the intersection with Buck Mountain Road on the left as you are leaving the neighborhood (this is about 1.1 miles from Brookline Dr.). You may place household trash in the compactor.
Grill / BBQ
Grilling out on the deck is one of our favorite things to do for dinner. If you would like to use the grill, you will need to turn the propane on using the valve on the tank. Then the second burner from the left should be used to light the grill. Simply turn the gas on using the knob and push the black ignite button. Please do not move the grill under the porch as this could be a fire hazard. Once you have finished cooking, the propane should be turned off.
