Lodging Options (includes all meals, lovingly prepared by our amazing chefs):

Meadow Camping- $400/person

Space description: share a large meadow under the stars/walk to nearby shared bathroom/near main lodge. PLEASE NOTE: the meadow camping area is the least private of the lodging options and shares space with the ritual grounds, so if you like evening quiet and privacy, this is not your best option. We do usually wind down by 10pm at night, but this is not guaranteed. The camping meadow has low grass, is surrounded by trees and has some shade spots available. It is located near all the main activity areas of the camp. If you choose to camp you may want to bring earplugs/sleeping mask/or other tools to ensure your comfort. You will also need to bring a tent/sleeping bag, sleeping pad or mat and whatever else you need to sleep and rest comfortably in a camping situation. You can drive pretty close to the site to drop your things off, so it is relatively easy to set up.

Shared Cabin- $600 person

  • Share with one other person (two twin beds), walk to nearby shared bathroom. Varying distance from main lodge

Shared Cabin with adjoining bathroom- $650/person

  • Share with one other person (two twin beds). Share an attached bathroom. Varying distance from main lodge.

Founders’ Cabin-

There are only 4 of these cabins which are more deluxe than the others. One is suitable only for a couple or those okay with sharing a double bed. The other 2 have a bedroom with a double bed , a living room with a double futon and a private bath. Because of this pricing is more complicated. $1470 for 2 people ($735/person), or $1755 for 3 ($585/person). These are usually in high demand and will go quickly. Be sure to let us know who your roomies are on the registration form. *** Please be aware that accessibility to these cabins may be challenging for some. Please ask us what to expect if you have any mobility issues. We are happy to help you out.

*All room assignments are made on a first-come, first-served basis.

Accessibility

Please note: Four Springs is located on acreage which has largely been left in its natural state. Most cabins are located about a 2- to 5-minute walk away from the lodge, with tree-lined paths above the creek which gives Four Springs its secluded and sheltered feel. If you have mobility issues or special needs — especially if considering a Founders cabin — please let us know in the form below. We do our very best to accommodate needs, given the spaces available.
