Weather Tips -
Summertime –
• The house does not have central air-conditioning. For the most part, the mountains and breezes keep Monterey comfortable in the summer. Still, on the warmest days, it can be a bit much. Fortunately, It almost always cools outside to a comfortable level in the evening. And usually if you open the windows and use the fans, it will be fine. The windows are all new, open and close easily and have good screens.
• One bonus air conditioner – We added a window air conditioner in the larger upstairs bedroom. We prefer the windows open and a cool breeze drawn inside with the ceiling fan, but if the A/C appeals, have at it!
Colder times –
• This two story house has a forced air gas furnace that does a good job of heating the downstairs. That heat doesn't reach upstairs as well, so to keep it comfortable upstairs there are small heaters in each bedroom and good heater in the upstairs bathroom ceiling light/vent fixture.
• Also, the beds upstairs have heated mattress pads, with convenient controls for guests. They will keep you cozy under the covers.
Children – Children are welcome, but use your judgment.
• I began coming to Highland County as child from the city, camping and hiking and exploring a whole new magical world. I know what a treat it is for them, and what a joy to see it again through the eyes of kids. You should know though, that there are not special accommodations for very young children here. There is no special furniture, child-proofing, or toys. BYO extras and good sense.
