FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Thank you for considering a stay at Commongrounds! We look forward to hosting you and your guests.

Why are you all offering Short-Term Guest Stays? Does that serve our community?

When you or your guests stay at Commongrounds, it has a direct positive impact on workforce housing in our community. The owl-gebra is simple: the income we make from short-term rentals directly subsidizes our 19 long-term, income-based housing units. We couldn’t do it without them! Of course, we also love that it creates another way for you, our egg-cellent owners, to enjoy your beautiful building and the spaces it provides for connection, food, family, arts, and wellness.

How many are available?

5! Two 2-bdrm units, two 1-bdrm units, and 1 studio. Four units are available starting Memorial Day 2023 and the fifth unit will not be available for booking until mid-June 2023.

Who can book?

Guest stays are open to the public and dues-paying owners receive a reduce rate of 15% all the time and a one-time annual coupon of 20% to use in addition (July/August excluded). Not an owner but you'd like to join? Visit www.commongrounds.coop/join to learn more! If you have guests coming, we ask that you book in your name so we know it is connected to a community owner. Before booking, owners must be current on annual dues in order to avoid having their booking canceled.

What is the minimum stay?

2 or 5 days (depending on time out/time of year).

What is the pricing/discount?

Pricing is based on dynamic market rates to ensure raising funds to support housing. Pricing varies with date proximity and season. Community owners receive two discounts: ~15% savings with no booking fees; and a one-time use coupon for 20% off a stay up to 7 nights (July/Aug excluded).
