Kitchen Rental

Guests who rent Griffith Hall or Cross Keys Inn may rent the industrial kitchen facilities in these buildings for an additional charge per day. Since these facilities have commercial kitchens, guests will be given a kitchen orientation at the time of check-in.

Manor House, Agape Lodge, Ryan Cottage, Delaware Cabin, Baxter Cottage, Basswood Cabin, and Wolf House all have standard kitchen facilities that may be used without a fee. Guests must follow safe food handling and kitchen usage procedures posted in our facilities, including the use of approved disinfectants in kitchen cleaning and appropriate dishwashing techniques.

Fireplaces and Campfires

You are welcome to build fires in designated fireplaces and campfire sites. A member of your group is responsible for starting the fire, monitoring it, and extinguishing it prior to leaving the campsite or fireplace. Wood from outside Bradford Woods is prohibited for environmental and pest reasons. You may purchase firewood from us, please inquire about pricing.

AV and Technology

Technology built in to a facility is included at no cost. Please refer to facility descriptions for more information. If you need to rent a projector, screen, easel/flip chart pad, or TV, please contact your event coordinator in advance. Some other items like charcoal grills and table linens may also be rented. Please ask your event coordinator for a complete list of these items.
