Sharing a room

If you prefer, we can pair you with a same sex roommate at no additional cost. If, at the time of booking, no roommate is available, we charge you half of the single supplement. If we subsequently pair you with a roommate, we will gladly refund your single supplement. A full single supplement is automatically charged to any reservation made within 30 days of a departure, or to any instance where there are no longer any twin beds available. Please be aware that especially in smaller inns, shared rooms may include a double bed and rollaway bed.
