We are honored to be Stewards of the beautiful Big East Fork Valley and expect our guests to help protect it. We therefore require that you DON'T DUMP ON US. As there is no trash collection in the valley, you need to be responsible for the volume and quality of that which you leave behind. If you take all of your trash with you, we will return all of the Trash Deposit Fee. Or you can save money by reducing the volume of trash that needs to be carted to the landfill by contracting with a local vendor to remove your trash. Please read the house rules that apply to trash on the website (It is made available to you after you book).
Your request must include the purpose of your stay and how many total persons (including children) that will be using the lodging.
TRASH. Please don’t dump on us! There is no trash collection in Big East Fork Valley. Someone has to remove the trash and take it to the dump or to town. If you do this yourself, your entire $100 Community Fee Trash Deposit will be returned to you. If you leave any un-bagged trash in the house or trash cans, you will forfeit your Community Trash Deposit Fee. If you leave bagged trash in the outside trash receptacles, you will be charged $5 per bag for its proper disposal. This can really add up! You may contract to have your bagged trash removed by a private party (A list of trash removers is on our web-site, www.theforkinn.com/3rdparties).
One of the best ways to reduce the volume of your trash is to separate organic materials that we may compost to make soil for our gardens. If you are checking out on noon Sunday, come bring your usable food, drink, and spirit to the Center for Sustainable Stewardship’s Community Brunch, held every Sunday noon at the CSS Farm, 5400 Big East Fork Rd. Meet, greet, and express gratitude to the people who have worked hard to make your stay memorable. It takes a village to prepare and maintain our valley and its houses. Meet the Chief Steward and members of CSS who maintain the trails, take care of watercraft, groom the hiking trails, and care for the farm animals. And meet the Fork Inn team that landscape the houses, clean the rooms, prepare the laundry, and service our guests to give them the unique experiences found in the Big East Fork Valley.
So only place properly bagged garbage in garbage bins. Do not place garbage directly in large garbage receptacles unless it has been bagged.
NO UNBAGGED TRASH in our large waste containers or grounds. There will be a $100 extra charge if we have to bag any trash. Don’t place trash outside of bins making it accessible to hungry critters.
THE BASE PRICE IS FOR FOUR (4) PERSONS. There is a $40/person/night additional charge for the number of persons over four. DAY GUESTS must purchase a day pass and parking pass $40. PARKING PASS is free for overnight guests and must be displayed on vehicle at all times while on premises.
If you we are a good match for each other, we look forward to your stay with us!
