My wife and I, my son and his wife were up there as guests for a Wedding in Fuquay-Varina. The place was great. So much better than spending 3 days in a motel. Our friends were envious.
Before you get there, you need to call the owner and have him set the thermostat. The thermostat is digital and remotely controlled. There are no instructions anywhere in the house. There is no brand name on the thermostat anywhere.
After driving for 11 hours, we got there, at 9:30 PM, it was 42 degrees outside, going down to 30. It was 51 degrees in the house. The thermostat was set on Cool - 66 degrees. There was no way I could change the thermostat to Heat. I finally figured out how to adjust the temp setting by sliding my finger along the side of the thermostat. No button, no switches, no screen, just slide you finger along the side, up or down. Good grief.
Thank goodness I copied the phone number for the owner. I called and got voicemail. I was pretty much to the point i needed to find a 3-lb hammer and fix the thermostat, or just look for a local motel room, or maybe both.
The owner called just as we were heading out the door. Todd is a nice guy. He set the thermostat on heat. I told him what we had been through. He said there is nothing to it. Just go to google and I could set it myself. I am guessing he meant that I could download an app on my cellphone.
It shouldn't be this complicated. I recommend Todd put a normal thermostat in the house.
