Pets and The Pines

We have a dog and a cat here at The Pines. We do not allow visiting pets here as our pets are territorial and somewhat possessive. They do not bite but expect to be greeted.

We do not allow any pets into our guest bedrooms, but if you are allergic to pets, please make other lodging accommodations.

Parking

Parking is not a problem at The Pines. We have two parking lots for you, so bringing more than one car is possible. We do ask people not to park on the lawns or in the circle driveway. Parking at the main door is only a temporary expedient for off loading bags and passengers.

High-Speed Internet

Need to access your email?
Here at the Pines Guest House we offer a high-speed Internet connection available at no additional cost to all of our guests. We offer both wired and wireless service for use with your own PC or we have a PC available if you left your computer at home. If you would like to make use of the network or our PC, simply enquire upon check-in.

Have a laptop with a wireless card?
We offer wireless high-speed Internet here at the Pines. Two access points deliver coverage that reaches areas both inside and outside the inn—coverage outside the inn will depend on your wireless card¹. Users have experienced good throughput down in the gazebo, on thelawns, and even by the pond. If you are planning on a visit in the late spring, summer, or early fall, it is a wonderful way to work! We use the 802.11b standard making it compatible with 99% of all wireless cards and computers including Apple’s Airport and Intel’s Centrino.

Have a laptop and do not have a wireless card?
If your computer has a PCMCIA slot, you can add a wireless card to your laptop². There are a whole host of manufactures that make wireless cards. As long as it is 802.11b or 802.11g, it will work on our network. If you do not want to add wireless to your laptop, you can connect directly through an Ethernet connection either in the front hall or in your room³.

Don’t have a laptop?
Make use of our Dell PC with 17-inch monitor. It is located in the front hall and available for use anytime. Windows Office Suite allows you to work on Word and Excel documents, surf the web with Microsoft Explorer, and we even have a color printer. The Dell runs Windows 98 and is equipped with a CD-rom, a 3.5-inch floppy drive, and USB.
