The WiFi to connect to is WBR Cabins with the password being whitebirchresort. The wireless router is located in each individual unit. The best signal is on the main floor.
The coffee pot is always left plugged in and left on by the back switch. It will have hot water stored in it all times. To make coffee all you have to do is put coffee grounds in and then pour a pot of water into the top. Shut the lid and wait for the coffee to brew back thru.
If for some reason the coffee maker was shut off, turn the switch back on in the back and let it set for 20 minutes to heat the tank of water back up. To check if the coffee pot is on you can test the warmer switch on the front to see if it lights up. If it does light up it is on correctly.
Do not pour used coffee, half brewed coffee back into the tank as this will plug the system.
The garbage is to disposed in a tied bag provided in a wood box trailer at the east entrance of resort. Please tie the bags and no fish guts since we do have a fish cleaning house for this. All trash goes here and is recycled completely by our county. You can put cardboard in the garbage cans next to the trailer.
Campfire wood is free for you to use. It is located down on the east end of the pond by the pontoon awnings. For homes #1, 2, 3, 4 and 5, you can use any of the wagons provided there to haul it to your fire barrel, which is by your cabin. Unit #8 has wood next to the backside of the cabin. Then #9, #10 and #11 can get their wood at a pile right in-between the garage doors close to your fire pit. Then for #12 you get your wood right next to the side of the cabin.
