Ronald, Once a Coal Miner Town, By Roslyn!

Imagine waking up in the morning with your cup of coffee, and sitting outside looking at the mountain range. Watch your dog outside enjoying the large fenced front and side yard. You can view pets from the windows inside too!
Enjoy area hiking trails, visiting Speelyi beach or check out the Roslyn Farmers Market on Sunday. Visit the surrounding shops and restaurants. Lots of great Northern Exposure History (90’s TV series/Netflix). The Brick Saloon is a historic landmark in town and has weekend evening entertainment.
In Ronald, don’t forget to check out Old # 3 Bar & Grill, great breakfast on the weekends! Walk out the back gate & down the alley. After breakfast take a bike ride or walk the Coal Miners trail that goes through Roslyn all the way to Cle Elum. Both are walking distance from the cabin. Up from the trail start you can find old ruined structures from the coal mining days.

There is a hatchet & sharpener for splitting wood for kindeling, (chop outside please on wood rounds). Firewood is provided. Bring your own fire starter, paper, and kindeling if you don't want to chop it.
Do make sure there is no burn ban in effect for Kittitas County. No fires are allowed during a burn ban. Usually Aug - Oct depending on the weather.
There is an AC machine that you fill with water & it helps cool the home in the summer afternoons. Be sure front blinds are closed. There are several portable fans as well. There is also a small ac machine that you fill with water that works great in a small room. Both have directions on them. I am planning to bring a portable ac before it gets too hot.

Please turn off all lights, lower wall heater temperature, unplug portable heaters and close all windows & blinds.

COFFEE, CONDIMENTS: Feel free to use these while there. If you do use up the coffee, tea or hot choc, let us know we are out. We only keep squeezable condiments for guests in the fridge, to keep sanitary for our guests. Please let us know if we are out of anything.

CHECK OUT/CONDITION of HOME:
Please rinse or wash your dishes before leaving & put in dishwasher. Flip clean or dirty sign. D/W soap pods are under the kitchen sink. Gently wipe off counters & stove. Please wash wine glasses, pots & pans by hand & put away.
Just leave beds unmade or strip sheets and leave sheets & towels next to washer/dryer in hall laundry basket. It's up to you! Housekeeping does love when you start a load of sheets or towels for them!
Leave comforters/quilts in the bedrooms they came in & do not remove comforter covers or mattress pads. If comforter gets dirty, please leave the entire duvet or quilt in the hall by the washer.
Guest will be charged for replacement of bleach damage/stains to pillowcases, sheets, towels etc. Please do not stain or bleach linens or towels.

Please use the top & bottom sheet to keep the couch & comforter cover clean for the next guest. Be sure the front pull strap is left in the out position for opening.
There is a couch cover for dogs! If you need to use the couch for sleeping, feel free to remove the cover & leave folded to the side. Housekeeping can take care of putting it back on. It's very helpful in keeping the couch clean!

TRASH: I f you can, please take your trash. I have no trash pick-up in Ronald. When I stay, I separate my recycling from trash & take it all home to dispose of.
Trash can is no touch/hand wave activated. Switch in back, can be turned off/opened manually, if you have a dog that may get into it.

PET FEE: Pet fee is $18.00 a night, per pet. Please add 1 or 2 dogs to your reservation if you plan to bring. This can be changed if dogs are not approved. Pet fee is usually charged separately, depending whom you book through.
