Eco Cottages

Cottages 7 and 8 are our Eco Cottages, new in 2022. These tiny houses are more economical and are our most eco-friendly spaces. They are in the woodsy part of the property with more shade than the full service cottages and are cooled  with fans, not AC. Small heaters keep you warm on chilly nights. 

You must bring your own bedding, towels, soap, etc. to the Eco Cottages. You can also bring one well-behaved pet with you to the Eco Cottages.

A BBQ grill, group dining area, fire pit, and lawn areas for games are shared by all cottages.
