Rooms
Our rates are reasonably priced! Our rooms are “clean, uncomplicated and authentic,” according to one of our favorite, regularly lodging guests! Our rooms are generally rented by the “bed” not the room unless you are requesting and paying for a private room. This is to allow for the most rentals possible during our busy seasons (June through early October) and the most cost effective sleeping arrangement for our guests. While not upscale, you will feel right at home in our fully furnished private and shared rooms.
Hostel-esque or European style is a good way to describe the lodging area: all three bedrooms share the common area with couches and some basic kitchen facilities as well as a shared bathroom (two shared bathrooms in the summer – one upstairs in the hostel and the other in the first floor restaurant’s dining room). We have two stacked washer/dryers as well ($5 per wash/dry; includes detergent).
We have three bedrooms which total 9 beds at present with current Off-Season pricing:
- Twin beds/bunks are $30 per person.
- Full beds or Queen bed for a shared room are $50.
- Private room $100/night.
- The whole floor can be rented for $250 per night.
- For more than 4 people per room $15 extra for a 5th person.
- All rooms add 9% tax.
