UMass Outing Club - Alumni Cabin Page

The charge for use of the Cabin for a weekend is as follows:

Student groups $125
Non-student groups $200

The full amount is to be paid at the time you make your reservation.

Priorities for use of the UMOC cabin are:

1st priority: UMOC trips and UMOC members on a trip;

2nd priority: UMass students;

3rd priority: Faculty, alumni, other outing clubs, other folk.

The priority system applies up until THREE WEEKS before your reservation date. Before that date a reservation request for your reserved date from a higher priority group may preempt your reservation. If that occurs your deposit will of course be refunded. Three weeks and less before your reservation date your reservation is guaranteed.

Please note: Except as noted above, THIS PAYMENT IS NOT REFUNDABLE. Make sure your group understands this before you make a payment. Please make your payments by check, payable to UMass Outing Club.

UMOC will hold your group responsible for any damages to the cabin, its contents or its property caused by your group while the cabin is under your care.

THERE IS EXTREME FIRE DANGER AT THE CABIN.

We demand that you obey the following rules at all times:

NO smoking ANYWHERE in the cabin!
NO open fires, flames, carbide lamps, or candles, etc. of any kind in the loft.

Determine the locations of fire extinguishers when you arrive.

Turn all the building's gas mantle lamps off when you retire at night.

Make sure the gas stove and oven are turned off when you are finished cooking and when you retire at night.

Turn the gas line outside the cabin off when you leave.

The cabin can accomodate a maximum of 30 people at a time safely.

Please do not expect UMOC to be responsible for injuries sustained by members of your group while staying at the cabin. Do not chop wood. Plenty of dry, chopped wood is stored out in back of the cabin. In general, people in your group must take care of themselves; make sure everyone knows how to play safely and sanely in the woods. Also, UMOC cannot be responsible for losses to your group due to theft. Keep your vehicles locked.

YOU AND YOUR GROUP MUST READ THESE POLICIES CAREFULLY AND AGREE TO ABIDE BY THEM COMPLETELY.

UMOC's cabin is located in Bethlehem, New Hampshire (the poetry capital of New Hampshire). It is a rough construction about a quarter mile hike in from the parking lot on route 142 south of town. The first level has a kitchen with a propane powered stove and lamps, a large dining/activity area and a wood stove for heat. The second level is a large open area with mattresses on the floor, space for about 25 to sleep comfortably. There is no electricity. There is running water only during fall and spring. During the summer the well dries up. During the winter it's frozen over. There is a two-stall outhouse.
