Lodging

Two small private furnished rooms are available for individual guests, each with a separate outdoor entrance, comfortable twin bed with new spring mattress, full bedding, plenty of warm fleece blankets and comforters, shelves, clothes rack, and table.

Each room is equipped with a meditation zabuton mat, seiza bench, crescent zafu cushion, and yoga mat.

The rooms are housed in a zero carbon emissions eco-cabin equipped with off-grid solar electric, passive solar heating, natural cooling, and rainwater collection.

The rooms are heated only with passive solar in the winter, and naturally cooled (no A/C) in the summer.

Guests must be able to tolerate some daily and seasonal temperature variability (see weather info).

There is a shared vegetarian kitchenette in the adjoining well ventilated shed.

In addition to staying in this cabin, guests will have the opportunity to learn about the construction and operation of a simple, inexpensive eco-cabin.

Facilities are clean and comfortable, and very basic.

Each room has a water container and basin for washing hands and face.

A standard bathroom with flush toilet, sink, and walk in shower with solar powered hot water 24/7 and full septic system is now available for guests in the new sanctuary building nearby.

The guest cabin rooms and kitchenette are equipped with standard 110 volts AC of high quality pure sine wave electricity supplied by solar panels and deep cycle batteries that is very safe and adequate for your phone, tablet, laptop computer, and other electrical needs.

There is generally plenty of electricity, although conservation is necessary during very rare extended cloudy periods. Guests may want to consider leaving very high wattage appliances such as hair dryers at home (hair dries fast in the low humidity anyway).

Because the guest cabin is also a silent meditation space, guests are requested to use headphones or earbuds for music or other media, and to limit phone conversations. 

The guest rooms are private spaces for individual guests, and the rest of the facilities and grounds are public shared space for all guests and residents. Guests are expected to keep themselves, their room, and the guest kitchen reasonably clean throughout their stay, and to clean their room and guest kitchen upon departure and leave them in their original condition.
