RV#1 firepit space

The firepit at the rear of this space is just divine. It is quiet and tranquil. 6 chairs are provided for seating + there are 4 bar stools and 2 benches. The best part is the outdoor lighting that makes it just magical.

There is a large utility box behind the camper that has a variety of outdoor games, water and sand toys.

GUESTS ::

Guests are welcome to come and spend time with you. They do not need to check in at the office or pay a visitor fee. They are required to abide by all rules.

LINENS ::

Linens (top and bottom sheet) are provided for each sleeping space + 1 blanket for each sleeping space. We provide 8 pillows + pillow cases. All linens are cleaned by a volunteer. Instructions will be available in your linen bin for you after your stay is complete. Please use only what is available in your bin and take the bin that is clearly marked with your check in day - MONDAY or FRIDAY.

There is a large outdoor seating space that also offers plugs for outdoor cooking. We would love for your to utilize this space as often as possible! It will keep the camper cooler and let’s be honest - you don’t cook outside at home :)

We do not recommend the use of the oven. Please take advantage of the stove top, grill and firepit for cooking.
