Our Basic Money Rates

We offer a sliding scale so that you can offer an amount that works for you.

Children are free, because we really want you to bring children here to explore the simple cabin and the surrounding woods and fields.

Sliding scale:

$120-$150 for 2 people, plus $15 for each additional person

You are welcome to bring your dog/s. Add $15 for one or two. (not per-night but rather for your whole stay)

$750-$900 for a whole week

+ 5% tax

During most warm months advance bookings for weekends are only available as two-night stays. If you're looking at a single weekend night that's just around the corner, go ahead and call anyway, because if it's not yet rented we'll sure consider a single-night booking.

Payment Method and Cancellations

It’s old-fashioned, just like the house.

You can make a reservation as far in advance as you’d like, and then just pay with check or cash before you leave. In the kitchen on a shelf next to the cookstove you'll find a leather box where you can calculate with paper and pencil  and leave your payment.

We trust you.  

If you need to change your plans, please call at least 2 weeks ahead. If you have to cancel last-minute, we'll do our best to contact others who had asked for the same slot and offer it to them; if we can fill it, we won't expect you to pay.

A Few Ways to Save a Little:

You can bring your own sheets and towels and we take $5 off for two people or $10 off for 3 or more people. (There's an ecological advantage to bringing your own, as we imagine you'll reuse them many times before washing again, whereas we of course wash in between each guest). If you're planning to do this, please let us know ahead of time.

You can also take away your own garbage and recycling and bring the compost out to the compost pile, and take $5 off your bill.

Check In and Check Out Time

We are flexible. If there aren't other guests arriving the night before or after you, you can come as early and leave as late as you like. If there is another guest's schedule to consider, we'll make a plan that works for all. 

Camping:

If you are staying in the cabin, you can invite guests to set up tents for $25/night.

Other notes: 

In keeping with our philosophy of responsible stewardship of this land and home, we ask the following of our guests: 

Working Around Our Place for Trade Some people like having a bit of physical work to do, even when they’re relaxing. My dad is like that. If you would like to barter your labor for some of your time in the log cabin, talk to us about it! If you live around here, you could come work at a different time from your get-away time. Or, you could work while you’re renting the cabin, to have fun and to lower your money-cost. 

Some examples of things you might do around here, depending on your experience and desires and depending on the season:  Cutting and splitting firewood, mowing, gardening, cleaning, carpentry, trail clearing, invasive species removal (we have kept this highly invasive plant out of these woods so far, by diligence and care. It's fun to go into the woods to help preserve biodiversity. I'll go with you and show you how.) Please tell us ahead of time if you are interested, so that we can see if there’s some work at the time you want to come. We can’t promise that there will always be something to do that matches your interests, but we’d like to try and we appreciate the help!
