  • Review your calendar between October 2024 and January 2025, and be ready to select your available dates


Collaborations

Residents With Families 

  • We offer the option of residencies as short as a week to accommodate the fact that many residents have jobs, families, and other restrictions on their available time. Often, residents find getting away from day to day responsibilities to be a benefit of residencies, however we will provide a limited number of spaces for residents to bring families with them. We do not have baby gates, high chairs, extra beds, etc. You will be solely responsible for the safety and supervision of any children and for ensuring that they do not cause any damage or interfere with other residents. You are also responsible for keeping common areas  clean and free of clutter.
