The Space
There are several areas throughout the cabin to settle in with pen and paper, a laptop, a sketch pad, watercolors, or collage materials (or a guitar, mandolin, or banjo!) to embark on a creative journey.
​
Throughout the cabin are space heaters, fans, and portable air conditioners for comfort. There is a fully appointed kitchen, equipped with an oven and stove, microwave, toaster oven, and drip coffee pot. The adjoining bathroom is equipped with a claw-foot tub and a composting toilet.
​
Unfortunately, because of the terrain, the age of the cabin, and the lack of a septic tank (requiring the use of a composting toilet), we are not able to invite individuals who require wheelchair accessibility.
