Separate sleeping accommodation above the garage, house access not available. We don't have a total stand-alone apartment, but we have some nice semi-separate accommodations and we are right down the road from the Pratt Rd shop. (1 mile away). Our room has electricity and a double bed, no kitchen or running water. Toaster, microwave, and small refrigerator available. There is an outside hot water shower (chilly in November but still nice to shower outside for those who are inclined - it may be possible to shower at Heartwood School immediately before or after class). There is an outside composting toilet (a 30-second walk from the garage.) No Dogs and No smoking. A step above camping for sure! (Especially in the cooler months)
