Kitchen Information

We have two types of kitchens to meet all your event needs.

Community Kitchen vs Commercial Kitchen

 

Community Kitchen

Self-catering, non-ticketed events*, hotel guests

Included

Good for pot-lucks, family reunions, and other non-ticketed events where no one is paid to cook

Commercial Kitchen

Caterers & permitted personal chefs

$50/day, has requirements**

Good for ticketed retreats, event catering, and permitted personal chefs

 

* Any event that people pay a fee to attend, and food is included in that fee, is considered paid cooking and must use the Commercial Kitchen, per health code.

**Our Commercial Kitchen is a Shared-Use Kitchen, which requires all personal chefs to be permitted. For groups that want to bring their own chef, that means the chef would have to be inspected/permitted while using the space. Let us know if you need the application, the permit fee is $250. Person with ServSafe Manager certification must be present during Commercial Kitchen use. Caterer or chef must provide certificate of insurance.

 

Community Kitchen

The Community Kitchen is a large, shared space in the Main Lodge that allows guests to cook for themselves. For events that are not charging a fee for food and are not hiring a chef or caterer, then the Community Kitchen is for you. We try to provide all the cookware needed, though guests will need to bring all food with them (including oils and spices). See below for a list of what’s provided and a photo gallery. Please note: if guests are paying an event fee and food is included in that fee, then that’s considered the same thing as paying for the food directly, which requires use of the commercial kitchen per health regulations.

The commercial ice machine makes ice quickly, but if you are planning to fill coolers or similar with ice you’ll likely need to bring bags of ice with you.
