We love kids! Our property is oriented toward families who are interested in learning how to embody a lifestyle of service with the homeless. Children up to age 17 must be accompanied by a parent and must stay in the parent’s room. Due to the tiny size of our units, it may be challenging to have infants ages 0-2 years of age. We do not offer cribs or changing tables.
Guests are responsible for any damage or loss they cause to the property. Guests may be charged cleaning fees for damaged or excessively soiled towels, linens, and other soft goods. Please refer to our Community Inn Fee Guide. Also see “No Smoking, No Candles, No Incense, Etc.” below.
