Herb Sayers and Natalie New are the new owners of O-Bar-O Cabin— the riverside cabin community out on County Road 240. 

Sustainability: On the energy side, they have trained their staff to reduce consumption and even set up systems of communication that help staff & guests determine correct protocol, especially at night in concert with dark sky practices.

Cabin towels & sheets are washed upon guest request, rather than daily (saves water, too) and they take their delicate laundry to Kelly’s Green Dry Cleaning - this operation works to keep the river clean, as well as their cabin decorative pillow cases.They continue to save water but putting high efficiency toilets in every cabin.

O-Bar-O provides a picnic basket for their guests, complete with wooden utensils and palm leaf plates, so they are not contributing to the plastic waste problem at our local landfill (wood and palm are renewables). They also encourage their guests to recycle everything they can, even providing compostable bags for their use and reusable coffee filters in all cabins. All of the lotions, shampoo and other liquids are in refillable bottles, and Natalie personally takes the old sheets and towels to the local animal shelters that they support among her myriad of other errands while she is in town (she only makes one trip per week to reduce her emissions).
