Main Lodge
In addition to the private Wyoming, Juniper and Sweet Violet rooms, the main lodge features several sunny, communal areas for relaxing, socializing and eating (sometimes all at once). Meet your fellow guests in the dining room and adjoining kitchen while snacking on breakfast; later, curl up by the fire with a glass of wine, play an old-fashioned board game or watch a classic movie.

Our Environmental Footprint
We COMPOST all food scraps, which eventually turn into great soil for our gardens or snacks for the chickens, horses and donkeys. We recycle plastic, glass, aluminum, and paper. We urge you to enjoy our own natural well water and avoid purchased water in plastic bottles. We never put poisons or weed killers on the lawn or gardens. Hence, there is a healthy frog, toad, and bird population for you to enjoy watching and listening to, as we haven’t killed all the insects!
We ask you to tell us if you wish to use your towels more than one day to save water and energy, but we’ll certainly abide by your wishes if you want them changed daily.
We GROW our own herbs, and some fruits and vegetables in season as well as our own eggs. We offer locally grown and made produce, milk, fruit, jams, baked goods etc. as often as possible, and we can direct you to great farm stands, farmer's markets, and restaurants which offer the same. We pride ourselves on making our breakfasts the old fashioned way...from scratch, wholesome and plentiful. You will enjoy the difference!
Smoking is not permitted.
