Each cabin has an open area with dorm-style bunk beds and one or two private rooms with twin beds, and a shared bathroom with toilet stalls, showers, and sinks. The private room within each shared cabin is available on a first-come basis. Linens are provided, but beds are not made up.
Upgrades are available for parties of three or more, to a semi-private cabin where each party has their own space and a private bathroom, separated from others by a pocket door.
Hotel Rooms
Deluxe Private Cottages
There are four private cottages on Ramah Darom’s campus—our most luxurious accommodations. Nestled among the trees, these cozy, studio-style cottages feature a king-sized bed, a full-sized pullout couch, a private porch, and a bathroom with a walk-in shower. A small kitchenette includes a sink, refrigerator, and a personal coffee maker with pods. All cottages have heating and air conditioning, a dresser, a table with two chairs, complimentary hotel-style toiletries, and bed and bath linens. These charming accommodations are best suited for two guests and provide an elevated retreat experience. Cottages are not ADA-accessible and can only be accessed via stairs. Rates are based on an upgrade from a double occupancy hotel room. Upgrades are also available to a single-occupancy cottage.
