Personalize Your Experience with Your Choice of Lodging

Our Lodging Partners provide a discounted rate during our Festival week. Additional days may be requested and depend upon availability. Opossum Creek cabins are first available to veteran supporters of NRBN programs. All other lodging options are on a first-come-first-serve basis. Cabins are furnished vacation homes in semi-secluded settings with private hot tubs and modern amenities. Internet isn't available at every location. You may consider bringing a non-birding friend on your retreat to share your cabin.
