More about the rooms

• 10 of 13 rooms have private bath. The other three rooms are part of "The Loft" (see center right of photo at right) and are rented together ($705 for 3 nights) with one person paying and others reimbursing their shares. The Loft has a large bedroom with queen bed, two rooms with 2 single beds, a large common area, and two bathrooms.
• The Loft's common area and Rooms 8 & 14 are large enough to be designated as "small group jam rooms", and guests in those rooms are expected to accommodate two daytime jams daily.
• Some rooms have more than one bed. Room sharing is possible by request and will save both parties money. There will be a $25 extra charge per night for the second person to cover the additional linens and breakfasts. The first person to reserve pays the Ranch and arranges to collect from the other when they agree to share. When reserving, you will be asked if you would like to share a room with preferences noted. Once lodge is full, anyone wishing to share will be provided the contact information of those willing.
• Cabins: four duplex cabins (rent one side or whole cabin); three Sweetheart cabins with fireplaces. Click here for more on the ranch's lodging.
• NOTE: There are no TVs or phones in rooms! But there is cell phone reception in some parts of the Ranch, and WiFi is available free throughout. There is a 24/7 land line for emergencies.
