A few reminders

While we love having y’all here, there are a few important reminders for retreats/events/stays:

  • Please no use of confetti, fake flowers, etc.  Our animals could eat them and get sick.  Real flowers, rice and bubbles are fine
  • Reminder our quiet hours start at 9pm.  You can still have fun and enjoy you/your group till anytime (please note the outdoor string lights automatically turn off at 12am, you can turn back on via the timer on the porch of the check in cabin), just no amplified noises, screaming, etc. after 9pm
  • No fireworks at all and no real candles/fires anywhere other than the fire pit.  Also note the fire pit is subject to county restrictions and if there is a burn ban in place by the county there can be NO fires otherwise you will be subject to fines and/or imprisonment (yikes)
  • Please do not let children under the age of 14 left unattended AT ANY TIME and no kids in the heated hot tub or sauna 
  • If you move furniture around, please put back before departure.  No inside furniture to be brought outside.  If you need the large tables in the common area moved, please contact us as we have to use a tractor
  • If you use our yoga supplies, please clean and put back neatly in the storage area
  • Please do not feed the animals except for the treats left out for the goats and chickens
