* NO running water or SHOWER Showering during warm months: a portable camping shower could be available. Showering during cooler months: I learned this from a former Bunkhouse guest: get a Planet Fitness membership for a $40 initial fee - more or less - then pay $10/mo for the use of equipment and showers in any of their locations. Some work settings have employee showering facilites as well.
Englewood is a beautiful historic neighborhood surrounded by towering Douglas Fir, Western Red Cedar, and Oregon White Oak. Joe Mocha Coffee Shop is a few blocks away, Safeway and the Oregon State Hospital are about a half mile, while downtown Salem, Willamette University, and the Amtrak Station are an easy mile-or-so walk
While staying in the bunkhouse you'll be able to enjoy our beautiful gardens and our two old dogs, Rosie and Baillie, who will bark when they meet you then be your pal forever. Other dog friends may appear at any time as well.
