We supply bathroom amenities (shampoo, soap, lotion, conditioner), toilet paper, paper towels, trash bags, bath towels, coffee bar, and kitchen cookware. You will need to bring towels for the river and firewood for the wood-burning grill @ the river. We do NOT supply beach towels and do not allow our towels outside for river use. This is a remote and private retreat on the river in the country which means there are spiders, spiderwebs outside, wildlife, and insects that you will interact with as they are part of the river and forest ecosystem so please prepare your guests.
