Thank you for choosing Enota and helping to make a difference for future generations and preserving this land!
Thank you for your reservation at Enota Mountain Retreat. We look forward to making your stay with us a pleasant one.
We look forward to you visit and joining us in the beauty of nature that is Enota Mountain Retreat.
Please take time to review some general information and policy reminders.
ENOTA MOUNTAIN RETREAT
-
Enota is a not-for-profit conservation educational membership facility and volunteer organization whose mission is to
preserve this unique land and ensure that our guests do the same.
-
Through your support, rental fees, and donations, we continue to expand our programs, facilities and make a difference
for all those who are part of Enota and for all future generations.
- Any and all funds paid to Enota stay within Enota. These funds are used to improve guest accommodations, fund
our animal sanctuary, and develop programs that enhance the Enota experience. No person at Enota receives a salary or is paid. Enota exists through the
generous assistance of our volunteers and those guests that choose to help.
Donations are certainly welcome (and are also tax deductible).
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
- Since Enota is an environmentally conscious conservation facility, our mission is to preserve the land and to consume as few resources
as possible. Our pricing reflects this mission.
- People, pets, cars, tents, campers, and campfires result in additional wear and tear on the environment. Our pricing reflects the funds
needed to keep our environment pristine and replenish those resources that we have consumed. Enota tries to minimize wear and tear on the land by limiting
the amount of people, automobiles and sites that are part of this environment. Our base rates reflect the impact on the land and facilities that we can
replenish.
- Enota is an organic farm. Please use
extreme care not to have any chemicals or toxic substances come in
contact with the soil.
CAMP FIRES
- Having a campfire at Enota is a privilege, which can be a great hazard. In order to ensure the safety of all of our guests and
the safety of Enota and our wildlife, we strictly monitor and regulate the campfires on our property.
- Campfires must be contained within the fire rings provided at each site. Do not move fire rings.
- Campfires require fire safety permits for guests who wish to have a campfire at their cabin or site. Permits are available at the
Lodge for $5 each day (includes one bundle of wood). Additional bundles are $5. Fire starters are
also available.
- Burn only wood! Do not burn trash, cans, plastic,
Styrofoam, toxic material, bottles and other refuse.
- Campfires must never be left unattended.
- Do not collect firewood - We are a nature preserve and ask that you honor the woodland areas.
BASE RATES
- Base rates are the rates for each type of sites or accommodation. The base rate for camping allows 2 adults, 2 children, 1 vehicle, and
1 camping accommodation (tent, pop-up camper or RV) per site. For cabin accommodations we allow our stated number of people that the cabin can sleep and 1
automobile for every 4 people.
- Additional fees apply in excess of the base rates. Each additional adult is $10 per day, child $5 per day, extra vehicle
$5 per day,
pets $5 camping, and $15 cabins.

from collecting samples of wild and plant life. TAKE ONLY PICTURES - LEAVE ONLY FOOTPRINTS
