No Pets - There are many pets and animals that roam freely at Isis Cove, from dogs and cats to fish and birds, and we frequently see paw prints of coyotes, bobcats and even the occasional bear. Although we would love to love your pets, it is not practical for us to accommodate additional animals here during large events. Please leave your pets at home.

Lodging: Some discounted lodging is available at the Isis Cove Retreat House for $35 per night (usually $45 per night). The Retreat House has shared bedrooms and bathrooms. There are refrigerators in the community kitchen to be used only by people staying in the Retreat House. Please bring a cooler, as the fridges will fill up. There will be no cooking in the kitchen during this event. Please bring picnic type foods that do not need to be cooked. There are a few beds still available – please contact us asap to reserve.

Anyaa McAndrew and Gary Stamper also have some space available for people they already personally know: 1 couple at $45 per night in their guest bedroom, plus 5 individuals on the floor in the temple at $25 per night. Call Anyaa at 828-788-0773 to inquire or email her at: anyaa@vzemail.com
