The Space:

THE LODGE AT GRATEFUL WOODS:



The Lodge is an original log cabin and is one of several rental units on our 75 acre Animal & Nature Retreat. This listing includes the "Lodge" which sleep up 8 people in 3 bedrooms (2ppl to a bed). If you would like one or two more bedrooms please inquire as we can add on additional units to accommodate. Clarification of sleeping arrangements for this listing is below. Again because of our unique accommodations, please inquire with more details about your group size and needs and we are sure we can accommodate.



The Lodge, sleeps 8:

- Room 1: king bed

- Room 2: queen bed

- Room 3: two full beds (we consider this a "half bedroom" simply because it does not have a bedroom door, but it is nooked out and we provide a screen for added privacy)

- Full bathroom, upstairs

- Full bathroom, downstairs

*All bedrooms are upstairs and common spaces are downstairs.

Other Things to Note:

DOGS:

We love dogs and welcome them into our homes. We provide dog beds, bowls, treats and towels for muddy paws, as well.

Please note, you must take full responsibility for your dogs while on the property, as well as any potential damages.

We can allow up to two, fully trained, responsible dogs. Please inquire if you have more than two dogs.



CHILDREN:

While Grateful Woods is not child proof in any way, it is like "camp" and very desirable for families with young children.

We love to welcome families to our property, but you must take full responsibility for your children and never leave them unattended.

Note, we do have several day beds throughout each unit that are great for kids to sleep in. We also provide pack n plays, a high chair, baby bath, and kids dining set and cutlery.

If you are interest in any of the above amenities please let us know prior to your stay so we can set them up for you.



*We do thorough check-in and check-out walk throughs and will be in touch should we notice any damages after your stay.



IMPORTANT:

We absolutely want you to enjoy yourselves to the fullest, but unfortunately we cannot allow events or loud parties.

Please reach out if you want to hear more about how, when and where you can let loose at any time of the day.

Although you will be in the middle of the woods on your own 75 acres of land, Grateful Woods is still set in a residential neighborhood and sound does carry.

PLEASE be courteous of our neighbors and keep the volume to a respectable level. There is a 10pm town curfew for loud, outdoor noise and we have outdoor noise monitors to assure this.



BOOKING NOTE:

During peak season weekends (May-October), we only rent the whole property with all units to one group at a time.

For most weekdays year round, as well as off-peak weekends (October-May), we will rent the units separately. If units are rented separately, note that it is a possibility that another unit may be rented by another group.

Rates may vary. Please inquire so we can better assist you.



Please inquire with any and all questions or concerns so we can help you to make the most of your time at Grateful Woods.



THANK YOU - WE HOPE TO SEE YOU SOON



A Root & Ramble Place



Interaction with Guests:

Grateful Woods is a fully operational farm so there are always people coming and going from the farm side of the property. The homes are located on the other side of the property so the chances are high that you will not see anyone during your stay. The goats are located close to the homes, so once a day someone will come to feed them. We are always available via call or text and can send someone over at a moments notice if needed. Otherwise, you will not be bothered.
