All residents and guests are asked to bear always in mind that Brent House is a CENTER for ministry and, as such, hosts many public meetings and worship services each week. Residents and guests are expected to assist staff in maintaining a warm and welcoming hospitality.
Our one guest room is furnished with a standard double bed and, while small, is adequate for a short stay. All linens are provided. The room is air-conditioned in the summer season. The bath is fitted with a shower and is shared with the four resident students on the same floor. A washer and dryer are available and kitchen privileges allow guests to prepare simple meals during their stay. Additionally, we are within walking distance of several good restaurants and convenient to the university campus. Our location is especially convenient for prospective students and for parents visiting the campus; we especially enjoy hosting parents of students actively involved in our programs and activities.
While there is no fixed charge for the use of our guest facilities, donations assist us with the expenses of such hospitality. We recommend a minimum of $35-$50 per night; for stays longer than five days, rates are pro-rated to existing room rentals in the house.
Brent House maintains facilities for five resident students (and a resident House Manager). These facilities include a spacious single room with ample cloert space and a discreet vanity sink within the rom. Baths are shared with 1-3 others, and guests. All utilities except telephone service are included in the monthly rent; each room is wired for its own telephone line and each resident is responsible for arranging telephone service. Solid-state ceiling fans and cross ventilation in each room ensure comfort in all except the most extreme heat; for a modest monthly utilities charge, residents are allowed to use their own air-conditioners. An additional storage area in the attic is designated for each resident's use and bike storage is allowed in the basement. Kitchen privileges, including cupboard storage and refrigerator space, are extended residents. The living room is equipped wtih a television and VCR, and a second lounge area on the fourth floor of the house is in use for programs. Rents are competitive and comparable to similar facilities in the neighborhood. For more information, contact the House Manager.
From time to time, resident space is available for short terms of 2 to 12 weeks between student tenancies. Please contact the House Manager if or when such facilities might serve your needs.
Special Events can also be accomodated at Brent House. Our chapel has been host to weddings and baptisms, our main floor and gardens to weddings, receptions, graduation parties, staff and parish vestry day-retreats, and the like. Our kitchen is equipped tp serve most catering needs. The varied nature of special events demand that each be considered and costs determined individually. You are always welcome to contact the House Manager to discuss your needs and our fees for these services.
