Pet Policy

Pets (Service Dogs Only) are allowed to stay only in the apartment. No pets are allowed in the upstairs guest rooms of The Wilson House. There is a $35 per day fee for a pet staying in the apartment. No pets are allowed to attend meetings here at The Wilson House. If you plan to bring a dog, you must inform us at the time of your reservation.

Deposit Policy

In order to reserve a room, The Wilson House requires the first night deposit for lodging. We accept all major credit cards (Visa/MasterCard/Discover/AmEx). The balance is due upon arrival for the full stay.

Cancellation Policy

We are a small inn with only 14 rooms, and cancellations can greatly affect our operations. If you must cancel, we request notification 14 days prior to arrival to receive a refund or transfer deposit (reserving another stay within 6 months of initial arrival date). An administrative fee of $25 on all cancellations will be charged. Cancellations within a week of your stay will only be refunded for emergency reasons.

Scholarship Policy

Our scholarship program is made possible by the generosity of our community of donors and patrons. The spirit of this program is to extend the hand of recovery to everyone who would like to participate in our retreats, seminars, and other events and keep Bill Wilson’s legacy of inclusion alive.

Before requesting a scholarship, please review the following details and requirements.

Limited funds are available for scholarships. Only one award per year will be awarded to each person.
Our most common scholarship is a 50% discount for the program, but in some cases the award may be more or less. The funds awarded are for registration and may not be used to pay for lodging.
To apply, the potential recipient must send an email to kim@wilsonhouse.org and state: why you would like to attend the program/retreat, why scholarship funds will help (briefly demonstrate financial need), and how much assistance you are requesting (25%, 50%, 75%, or 100%).
There is a cancellation fee of $25 if a scholarship is awarded and a person decides not to attend after receiving the scholarship (see regular cancellation policy)
Recipients can pay their portion of the programming fees in advance via credit card or bring a check.
