“The cabins are the preferred accommodation for visitors,” said Damodar dasa, Vice President for Guest Services. “Now, with the cabins being upgraded, they will be even more popular. Therefore, I urge anyone interested in reserving a cabin to call the Guest Lodge early and book in advance.”
New Vrindaban is spending over $60,000 to upgrade the eleven guest cabins that are available for rent from Easter through Thanksgiving. The upgrade includes new floors throughout all the cabins, as well as new sinks, showers, etc. in the bathrooms. In addition, most cabins are receiving new countertops and stoves in the kitchenette, as well as a new boiler for heating. Many cabins will also have expanded lofts for more comfortable sleeping space. Finally, the cabins are being furnished with new furniture, bedding, and kitchenware.
This is the first comprehensive upgrade of the cabins since they were built in the early 1980’s. The cabin upgrade is the first in a series of projects aimed at community development and capital improvement.
The cabins have bed space for a minimum of 5 – 7 people, a kitchenette with a refrigerator and microwave, and a living room. All the cabins have a bedroom and bathroom downstairs, and either a loft or bedrooms upstairs.
The cabins, which are all within walking distance from the temple, are the perfect place to un-wind after a long drive on the Interstate. Many cabins overlook a lake, and they are located in a beautiful wooded area filled with deer, birds, ducks, swans, and other native wildlife. “The deer and other animals are so used to seeing people and they feel so safe that our guests can practically walk right up to them,” said Damodar. “Consequently, New Vrindaban is one of the best places for nature photography.”
The peacocks are one of the most colorful and entertaining forms of non-native wildlife that roams freely around the cabins. For the Indian guests, the peacocks make them feel at home as much as anything else in New Vrindaban. “Last year, a guest said that he rented a cabin mainly because the peacocks,” explained Damodar. “His parents were visiting from India, and the peacocks reminded them of home.” Walking around the cabins and other parts of New Vrindaban, our guests are always excited to find peacock feathers lying on the ground. Our guests take the feathers home as a reminder of their visit to New Vrindaban.
To reserve a cabin, please call the New Vrindaban Guest Lodge at 304-843-1600 x111.
The supply of cabins is limited, so please call in advance and make your reservation early.
