OUR COMMITMENT TO ENVIRONMENTAL CONSERVATION
Our log cabins have been made from trees that were victims of the recent Spruce bark beetle infestation.
- Cabins have state of the art compost toilets made in Sweden by Biolet.
- The lodge decking is made with TREX which is made from recycled plastic grocery bags and hardwood chips from the furniture factories on the East Coast. TREX does not require staining or regular maintenance.
- The floor of the main lodge has been made of recycled fir taken from planks off an old ship.
- Fresh water flows from a mountain creek and passes through a sophisticated filtering system.
- We have used energy efficient windows in all buildings.
- Sound pollution has been kept to a minimum by installing radiant heat in the floors of the lodge and by using electric vehicles for food, laundry and maintenance service.
Styrofoam is prohibited in our kitchen and dining area.
- To decrease the potential negative effects of chemical sensitivity to our guests and our septic tank, no chlorine is used in our laundry.
- Cleaning products are chosen to eliminate or lessen the use of questionable chemicals whenever possible
- Composting is used extensively both in the kitchen and garden.
HOW YOU CAN HELP
- Laundry is typically one of the highest energy and water uses in public lodging. Guests can help minimize our laundry by requesting fresh daily linens and towels only when necessary.
- The use of your complimentary coffee/tea mug created by a local artist will reduce the amount of hot water and soaps. After using these mugs throughout the event you may take it home as a token of our appreciation.
- To insure clean air both inside and outside for our guests, this is a non-smoking facility.
