The Thaw Lodge, which was just donated by Eugene and Clare Thaw to the Foundation.  There are three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a large kitchen, and a large living room.  The living room is very nice for small conferences (@20 people).  The Thaw Lodge will be used for long-term visiting scientists, authors working on their material, and guests.
