People Often Ask
20% of the projected headcount is due 2 weeks after the contract has been issued. We contract based on minimum numbers, so if you exceed your contracted minimum, we will update the balance due, which reflects your actual count for accommodations and meals. Then, 30% of the projected headcount is due 2 months prior to your arrival date, and 50% of the projected headcount is due 1 week after your departure date.
If cancellation is outside 60 days of receiving a signed contract, 5% of the projected headcount is non-refundable. If cancellation is within 60 days of the event, 50% of the entire contracted amount is due at the time of cancellation. If cancellation is within 30 days of the event, 80% of the entire contracted is due at the time of cancellation. If cancellation is within 14 days of the event, the entire projected headcount is due at the time of cancellation.
Group tent camping is only allowed in designated areas. This typically entails renting our yurt village, which has its own bathhouse and fire circle. It also includes use of the Ben Smith Stables. We are not a campground, so we cannot currently accommodate individuals looking for a spot to pitch a tent.
Only licensed service animals are allowed at La Foret. Emotional support animals are allowed, but you will need to have a letter, including their contact information, from a licensed psychiatrist, psychologist or therapist stating the need for your support animal.
We want everyone to feel comfortable and cared for at mealtime. Our kitchen is peanut-free, and we’re happy to work with guests who have serious food allergies by offering alternate options. When needed, meals can be prepared separately to help reduce the risk of cross-contamination. While we take care in our kitchen, we do not have dedicated allergen-free prep spaces and our facility is not celiac-safe. Because of this, cross-contamination - especially with gluten - can happen.
We do our best to honor dietary preferences whenever possible. Alongside a hot breakfast each morning, we always offer fruit, yogurt, oatmeal, and cereal. Lunch and dinner include a big, well-stocked salad bar in addition to the main meal. With these choices, we hope everyone can find something nourishing, comforting, and tasty at every meal.
