A few important notes before booking: Summer rentals (July/August/First half of September) are week-long from Saturday to Saturday. - The bunk house is not a 4 season abode, meaning that once it starts freezing at night we have to close and winterize it (no water or electricity and antifreeze in the toilets). This means that after Columbus Day (the beginning of October) to Labor Day (the beginning of June) it is not available for your use. This means that the home only sleeps 9 from Columbus Day to Labor Day.
