There is a gravel parking lot and a beautiful river to walk along during the breaks, so we encourage you to dress comfortably. To get from the parking lot to the gathering space requires navigating an unpaved path. The room has a lovely fireplace we often use throughout the year, so consider wearing layers to help you regulate your temperature needs.
