While every building is different, all rooms have their own entrance, with commonhallways and/or stairways to the rooms. Except for the Main building, all rooms have their own private bath. While we do not have air conditioning in any of our facilities, ceiling fans provide cooling comfort during some of the warmest summer temperatures. Some guests prefer to stay in the same room in the same building year after year. Others enjoy trying out each of the different cottages. Every location has its own charm and benefits so it is up to each guest to see which one best matches their needs and preferences. If this is your first time, try whichever one meets your room requirements and then see what other options are available after your first trip. Visit our Rooms & Cottages page for more information.
