MDLH

Before submitting your proposal, please note the following:

The Mabel Dodge Luhan House (MDLH) receives several inquiries every week from individuals and organizations wishing to host a group here in the future. Although we wish that we could say yes to everyone who dreams of teaching here, it is necessary for us to thoroughly evaluate every proposal for the limited dates that we have available each year. Almost every group on our schedule returns annually and keeps their dates from year to year.

Due to calendar and space limitations, most proposals must be declined. If MDLH management determines that your proposal is a good fit, then you will be added to the waitlist for future openings. If dates are proposed to you, they are firm and non-negotiable. If you accept them by the deadline given, a signed contract will be required along with a non-refundable deposit of $1,500.

You will be responsible for taking money from your participants and assigning them to their rooms. Upon arrival, you will be invoiced by MDLH per student at the following conference rates which include room, breakfast, lunch and use of meeting space(s).
