Rental Fees (effective 1/1/2024)
The rental fee for each event at Thayer Homestead includes the Facility Rental Fee, and Security Deposit, plus any optional fees. Optional fees can include a Homestead Suite Fee, Equipment Rental Fee, Thayer Tent Use Fee, and Lawn Use Fee, as per renter requests and agreements. Any additional fees for extra equipment contracted through an outside vendor must be arranged between the renter and the outside vendor and with the approval of the Resident Manager and/or Thayer Homestead Governing Committee. The Security Deposit PLUS one half of the total rental fee (sum of all fees) is due at contract signing.
In general, a rental contract for the Thayer Homestead gives the renter access to the Thayer Hall, patio, and kitchen. Use of the Homestead Suite and lawn are also available at additional cost and must be specified before the event date. After the event, all areas are expected to be left in the same condition in which they were found. The kitchen must be picked up and no food or drink can be left in the refrigerator or freezer. The stove and dishwasher must be turned off. All trash should be gathered together and placed in the dumpster behind Thayer Hall. All decorations and personal belongings must be removed and decorations must have left no marks or caused damage to the walls, ceilings, or windows. Tables and chairs must be left as found. The black event chairs and wooden banquet tables may not be used outdoors. Conversely, the outdoor patio furniture cannot be used indoors.
