There are three telephones in the house.  One in the kitchen, the master bedroom on the second floor and the kitchenette on the second floor of the Southwing.  They may be moved to other locations during your stay  but please return them to the above spots when you leave. The master phone cradle charger and answering machine (kitchen) is the only one with a telephone line hookup and should not be moved.  The chargers for the other two phones need only an electrical outlet to work.  All three handsets are portable.  Toll free long distance service is available.  Should you need any instructions on the operation of the phones or answering system, the manual is located on the garage wall just outside the kitchen.
