“Price List”

Considering that as settler Canadians, we’re all on stolen land, it seems awkward to charge people to stay on this property that we’re lucky enough to “own”. That said, we do have expenses like land taxes, electrical bills, laundry detergent, building maintenance, grass cutting, and so on. However, we are not a licensed business, nor are we a registered tourist establishment. We simply have the good fortune of owning some land, and we like to share this with other like-minded individuals and small groups from time to time.

In light of this, we propose the following suggested contributions to work around the property, or the equivalent in donation, per night. You can also make a donation to the Little Free Library I steward in Mexico, or contribute items from our wishlist!
