Accommodations are in very clean, comfortable, private and semi-private rooms and dormitories with separate men's and women's bathrooms, as well as one suite with a private bathroom. Our accommodations have all been recently refurbished, and are rustic but modern with beautiful views of forest and mountains. Many of our native wildlife may greet you outside your bedroom window. We can accommodate up to 85 people per night (more for day-only events). Our rooms are heated in winter, and cool and airy in summer.
