House Rules
Below are the house rules and expectations for those attending our Blacksmithing Classes. Please contact us if you have any questions.
Smoking Policy
There is absolutely NO SMOKING in our cabins or shower houses. There is also no smoking allowing -inside- of any of our buildings, especially during class times. If you do smoke, we have plenty of fresh space outside!
Check In/ Check Out
As a general rule, check-in will be any time after 3PM Friday. Check-out will be 3PM Sunday. We can make any special arrangement needed as long as you give us appropriate notice.
Extra night’s stay
We are happy to host our students an extra night or two! Room rates and additional meal rates apply.
Pet Policy
As much as we love our fur babies, our general stance is no pets. Exceptions can be made in certain circumstances but we require you to work that out with us in advance. Please do not show up with your pets unannounced!
Bad Behavior
We encourage our guests to enjoy themselves and take advantage of the camaraderie after hours. Guests are welcome to enjoy a drink and socialize. However, as with any of these situations, we ask that all parties act responsibly. If, through alcohol or otherwise, you are found to create a problem for the other guests, your class will be cancelled and you will be asked to leave IMMEDIATELY. We will arrange escort if needed. There will be no debate or discussion once the call has been made, you will be leaving, vertically if under your power, horizontally if by ours. The comfort and enjoyment of our guests is paramount. Please do not test the good nature of your 260 pound host/gorilla.
Quiet hours
Though we seem to stay up far later than anyone should, we ask that late night revelers observe an 11 PM quiet time for the sake of any other guests that may be turning in like sensible people. You are free to continue merry making, just make sure it’s far enough away from the bunkhouse as not to unduly disturb the responsible adults.
Kitchen and Laundry
Should you get the munchies in the middle of the night, guests have full access to the kitchen and refrigerator in the main house. Please help yourself, treat it as if it were your home. Laundry facilities are also available should you need them.
Refund Policy/Cancellation
We do understand that life happens! If you need to reschedule we will transfer Class and Lodging fees to a date that is within 6 months of original booking. Meal fees are non-refundable if notice is not given within 2 weeks of scheduled class weekend.
Bath House Facilities
In addition to two restrooms, our bath house sports three showers, two indoor and one outdoor. A space heater is provided for the indoor shower rooms. The outdoor shower boasts a super awesome custom copper rainhead shower head and a soaking tub. For the best experience utilizing the outdoor shower, aim for quieter hours.
How to Lock the doors
All of our doors have traditional Suffolk latches on them. In order to lock the door you will see a small metal wedge attached to a string hanging from the door frame. Simply slide this wedge over the inside door latch and Voila!, locked door! Each room also features a padlock & key for additional safety to your personal items when you are not occupying the room. Should you lose your key, our Hostess has a Master at the cost of a unique compliment!
Towels and Toiletries
If you forgot something at home, our Hospitality Hostess has you covered! Everything from extra towels and washcloths, soap, shampoo and conditioner to an entire box of first aid, OTC medications for every occasion, extra travel toothbrushes, toothpaste, deodorant and feminine products!
Timer Switches
All bathrooms and showers are equipped with timer switches that let the room vent for a few minutes after use. Just turn knob clockwise about a quarter turn and walk away!
