Sign-up link

You send one sign-up link to the group. Each person adds themselves, then adds the children or the partner who travels with them.

You can also add people yourself, one at a time or as a pasted list. Close the link when the list is complete. Download the list as a spreadsheet at any time.

Who sleeps where

Every bedroom is on the plan: 5 bedrooms, the Study, the air mattresses, and any RV or tent. Put each person where they sleep. A bedroom shows red when more people are in it than it sleeps.

The group sleeps under one roof. Madison’s Room is on the main floor, with no stairs.

Keep the plan private while you work on it. When it is final, switch it on. Each person then sees their own bedroom and who shares it.

Food needs and allergies

Each person marks their own food needs when they sign up. The choices are vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free, nut allergy, and shellfish allergy.

There is also a note for anything else, such as “severe peanut allergy, carries an EpiPen”. You can add or change the needs for each child.

You see the totals for the whole group, and each allergy shows in red.

Meals and cooks

Each day of your stay has a row for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks. Write what the meal is and who cooks it.

The kitchen has an island, a full-size range, and room for more than one cook. Two grills sit on the deck.

The schedule

Add each part of the stay to a day-by-day plan, with a time and a place. For example, the birthday dinner, the hike, or the movie night.

Each item can carry a private note that only you can see, such as “The cake is in the garage fridge”. Switch the schedule on when you want the group to see it.

One grocery list

The whole group adds to one list, and each person marks what they will bring. The nearest full grocery store is 45 minutes away.

We can buy everything that nobody is bringing. We put it away in the lodge before you arrive. You pay what the groceries cost, plus a $50 delivery fee.

Tables, chairs, heaters, and other extras

We own folding chairs, round tables, 6-foot tables, and four outdoor tower heaters. Ask for them on the planner, with paddleboards or a mid-stay refresh.

We send you the price. For a stay booked on Airbnb or Vrbo, you pay through that platform. For a stay booked with us, you can pay by card or with a link we send.

Waivers, when your stay needs one

Some stays need a signed waiver. When yours does, each adult signs it on their own page. A parent or guardian signs for each child they add.

You see who has signed and who has not. Nobody has to print or scan anything.

Questions

Questions about the planner.

Can you help coordinate rooms and dietary needs for a large family reunion?

Yes. After you book, we set up planning pages for your group. Each person signs up from one link and marks their food needs. You put each person in a bedroom and see every allergy in one list.

Does each person need an account?

No. Nobody makes an account or a password. Each person gets their own private link. The person who booked sees the whole plan. Everyone else sees only what that person switches on.

Can I keep the bedroom plan private until it is final?

Yes. The group sees nothing until you switch it on. There are separate switches for the bedrooms, the guest list, and the schedule with the meals.

Can you buy our groceries before we arrive?

Yes. Everyone adds to one grocery list and marks what they will bring. We buy the rest and put it away in the lodge before you arrive. You pay what the groceries cost, plus a $50 delivery fee.

Do we have to use the planner?

No. It is optional. Use all of it, part of it, or none of it. It works for a stay booked directly, on Airbnb, or on Vrbo.

Does the planner cost extra?

No. We set it up for your group at no cost. You pay only for the extras you ask for, such as groceries, tables and chairs, or outdoor heaters.
