FAMILY PEDERSEN HOME > CABIN SCHEDULE
Cabin Schedule

In 2019 the Cabin rentals are being managed by VACASA. Rentals are a very important facet in keeping the cabin in great shape. A new well is going to be in place this year and cost is high. Last summer we replaced the roof/shingles. Greg replaced the 3 windows on the east side of the cabin with 3 vinyl Awning windows. Kathy replaced the window coverings also.

If you have any questions about the cabin, I have written a User's Guide that includes how to troubleshoot electrical, Pet concerns, how to light the water heater, etc. This guide is meant for anyone unfamiliar with these types of common problems that may arise during their stay. Please open and read the guide by clicking on this link: Cabin Guide There is an index on page 3.

The "Family Advisory Committee" now has put the cabin up for rent as shown in the schedule below. If you want to use a "rental" time slot, the FAC has decided family does not have to pay the rental fee. You will contact Vacasa Property Management to make your arrangements. Please keep in mind that paid renters will take priority over family when it comes to using the cabin during the rental season. We will continue the practice of renting for some time to help with the annual expenses incurred to keep the cabin in shape, pay for taxes, etc..

In the summer of 2012, the FAC had a meeting and made some decisions on the use of the cabin. Please open these documents and read them:

From Donna - June 2, 2011:

Hey, wonderful family!

If you haven't stayed in the cabin for a while, you should give it a try! It still has the lovely feel of Grandma's touch, with all of her paintings and pictures of family. Most of the furniture is still there, and all of her dishes are there. The process for summer:
•Go to the family website and click on "reservations."
•Check the month you are interested in and if there is an opening, you can contact the family representative for that month to see if you can reserve it.
•For summer renting months, call Ginger at Range Property Management (970-586-7626) and make sure it's available (she sometimes has a renter being processed that may not be listed on the website calendar yet). She will put your name in for that requested date.
•One caveat: If she has a renter interested in that date later on, renters will take precedence over family and you will need to make other arrangements. Ginger will let you know if that happens.

•If you do stay at the cabin over the summer during open times, please leave the cabin as clean as you found it so the next renters come in to a nice, clean home away from home.

Things are looking really good for the summer rental of Grandma's cabin. So far we have one family from Scotland in June, families from Arizona, Indiana, Texas, and Nebraska in July, and a family from Illinois in August. The realtor is working on one more contract for June. This is good news for the budget, and we'll be able to set aside $$ for future needs. Most likely, there will be more renters interested before all is said and done. For a first-time rental, this is very good.

Here are some highlights that you should know:
•The water system now has a filter (David Waldo), so we don't have to worry about contaminated well water.
•We have been blessed by several wet winters, so we shouldn't have to worry about water quantity (although you should still try to conserve water).
•The cabin has been spring cleaned by a housekeeper that Glenda recommended. She did a wonderful job! She has been hired by Range Property Management to continue her good work throughout the summer!
•There are new stainless steel pans in the cupboard and a new microwave oven.

•The curtain rods in the front of the cabin have been replaced, and I "remade" the old gold curtains to fit in three sections so that they can now be easily opened and closed. I couldn't wash them, as they would have fallen apart, but they are "refreshed."

•The sun room can easily sit six people around the table, as I removed the old 3-piece chair set to make more room so families can sit together for meals.
•Michelle and Jeremy donated a nice leather love seat for the living room.
•There is a highchair for babies.

•There is a new shelf unit in the loft with decks of cards and other family games, and a couple of nice big throw pillows for kids. If you have any games you would like to donate, bring them up.

•Last summer Glenda's brother-in-law painted ALL of the old wooden outdoor furniture the traditional red, and it looks great!
•Greg put in new bedroom windows that now allow easy egress in case of a fire, and he put in additional spindles on the front deck railing and the railing by the bedrooms for safety purposes. Kathy added some lower curtains.

•The loft window to the sun room and kitchen window to the hall by the bathroom now have safety bars.
•We replaced the hot water heater, so you won't be going out in the dark to relight it anymore--yay!
•Several years ago we bought two new nice pillow-top beds, replaced the carpet and put in tile flooring.
•We had a family inside "painting party" a couple of years ago, retaining the colors Grandma loved.

•Dean arranged for a bear-proof trash container that will be picked up each week (summer only).

I hope you are all having a wonderful summer and FINALLY enjoying this wonderful summer weather. It feels so good.

I think that's all. Take care, and hope to see many of you at the reunion at the end of July!

Love, Donna
