Rules

Quiet and low volume is maintained here at all times. You may need to help remind people of our house rules. No smoking inside the house. Everyone cleans up after themselves. There are tenants (longer term) and AirBnB guests and volunteers all staying here together. It gets very busy in the summer season. Everyone chips in. A sense of belonging and helping each other is very important to the work here.
