Lodging Policy

Roommate

There will be no room changes once checked in. You will stay with the person you are originally paired with for the duration of your stay. With this in mind, individuals are encouraged to bring items to assist with their own comfort such as earplugs, music, sleep masks, etc. Individuals will not be transferred to another room for reasons such as a snoring roommate.

Electronic Devices

Rooms will be equipped with an alarm clock but no TV or other electronics. However, individuals are allowed to bring their own devices to the room for their personal use – Wi-Fi is provided in sleeping rooms. Electronic devices, including phones, computers, e-readers and tablets can be brought into and used in-room. Individuals must obtain their roommate’s OK to use devices in-room. Courtesy should be given, as the room is a shared space. (For example: use headphones to listen to music.)
At no time are these devices to be utilized outside of their room or out on the Rio Retreat campus.

Additional Information

    • At no time should pictures be taken of others inside or outside of the room with any of the devices; pictures are not to be taken on the Rio Retreat campus.
    • Only appropriate material is to be viewed or accessed while staying in the Bunkhouse.
    • There is no smoking allowed in the rooms. A designated smoking area is provided.
    • There is no food or drink allowed in the rooms, with the exception of bottled water with a cap/cover.
