How to enter:
The easiest way to enter the condo is through the alley, from your parking spaces. Follow the metal staircase (black) to the top floor and you will see our door labeled "217 E Front St B". Use the keypad code provided for entry.

The second option for entry is directly from Front Street, to the right of the entrance for Robert Frost Clothing Store. Use the keypad code to gain entry!

To use the keypad:
Simply tap the screen to light it up, and enter in your 4-digit code. Please note from here, all you need to do is push the door open. If the door doesn't open for you immediately, try pulling slightly towards you and then pushing open!

****IMPORTANT: Do not lock the deadbolt unless you are staying in for the night. If you lock the deadbolt upon leaving the door code will not work. *****

In case of emergencies / if you struggle with the keypad, we have a lockbox stored on the door to the right (on the patio) with a lockbox code of 7111. This will provide one key for use of both doors.
