I stayed there once about 15 years ago with a Boy Scouts group. I remember because there was still some snow on the ground and the temperature was so cold
(how cold was it? - It was so cold, that the kids carrying security blankets were no longer considered strange)

It was so cold they had to turn the water off because they were worried the pipes might freeze. I think it made it down to the lower teens that night. Fortunately the water and the heat was on in the bathroom of the New Salem Park Museum, but didn't open until 9AM
Eva, I'd suggest your self contained facility....

Travel south instead of west and you would be more comfortable on the grounds of Belle Grove (see my post above) or even the hallway (like Col. Conger was offered). Or spring for a reasonable room and breakfast in the morning. A glorious old place...
