For summer our days tend to be on the warm side (very rarely hot), but nights cool off quickly. We have window fans in most of the rooms, with the exception being the Family Suite (Tourmaline) where we do have a portable air conditioner as this room was an add-on and gets a bit warmer than the other parts of the house. In winter, we do have 2 furnaces to keep you all toasty, along with 3 fireplaces and firewood available. Each room also has a portable heater so the occupant can make it toastier if they'd like.
