Beds consist of two inch, high density foam pads on plywood platforms. Otherwise, Retreatants must bring their own bedding.
With a hundred square foot floor plan, the cabins just large enough for prostration practice. There is room to set up a shrine.
Retreatants have access to miles of hiking / cross country ski trails.
