RMERC Lodging Options
Lodging options at RMERC include the following (more photos are available in the Photo Gallery).
Lodge Rooms
Singles
Singles consist of a small private room with a single bed. Most of these are on the third floor (attic level) but some are on the second floor. There are no private bathrooms; all bathrooms are shared by everyone. The attic has a single toilet, the second floor has two showers and two toilets. Availability: All season.
Doubles with 2 single beds
Two single beds, in a shared room. You will be matched with someone who identifies as the same gender as you. If you need or wish to be paired with someone in particular (of any gender) please contact us directly to make arrangements! This is the primary lodging style in the lodge, and these rooms are all on the second floor. The second floor has two bathrooms and two showers, all are shared by everyone. Availability: All season.
Double with a double bed
The lodge has one room with a double bed, intended for a couple. Availability: Please inquire with our registrar ([email protected]).
Triple
A room on the second floor with three single beds, and a great view from the window. There are no private bathrooms, all bathrooms are shared by everyone. The second floor has two toilets and two showers. Availability: All season.
Mini Singles
On the third floor there are two small windowless cubicles. Each space has a single bed, night table, table lamp, and luggage stand. Availability: Typically before mid-June and in October-November.
Semi-Private Nook
A low-ceiling mostly-private hideaway off of the attic dorm (3rd floor). You must crouch or crawl under an eve to enter, through a curtain, but once you’re inside it’s basically a private space. It has a window and a comfy floor mattress. There is a toilet in the attic; both showers are on the second floor. Availability: All season.
Glamping
Two glamping tents are tucked underneath the lodge building, with walls blocking the wind on two sides, and full southern sun exposure and view. Each tent has a single bed and bedding, small rug, space heater, light, small table, and luggage stand. Availability: Typically from mid-May until mid-October. (Please contact us if you wish to glamp before mid-May or after mid-October; we will check that you have the gear required for winter storms, which are not uncommon in early spring and late fall.)
Camping
Flat undeveloped camping area on the lodge side of the creek, available for you to pitch your own tent. The lodge is a brief, though steep, walk uphill from the camping area. Bathrooms are located in the lodge. Towels are provided. During Fall and Spring retreats especially, please be prepared for unpredictable and rapidly changing high altitude weather conditions. Availability: Typically from mid-May until mid-October. (Please contact us if you wish to camp before mid-May or after mid-October; we will check that you have the gear required for winter storms, which are not uncommon in early spring and late fall.)
