Frequently Asked Questions About Renting The Pines
Here’s everything you need to know before booking your event.
To reserve your date, contact us to confirm availability and submit your $100 refundable deposit. This deposit holds your booking and will be refunded after your event if the facility is left clean and undamaged. The rental fee and sanitation fee are paid separately before your event date.
If your event is canceled less than one month before the scheduled date, half of the $100 security deposit will be forfeited. Cancellations made more than one month in advance receive a full deposit refund.
If severe weather or an emergency makes it unsafe or unreasonable to hold your event, we’ll work with you to reschedule to another available date at no additional cost. Refunds for weather-related cancellations are handled case-by-case.
Full-day rental for groups under 75 people is $265 total.
Hourly events for groups under 75 people are $50 per hour, plus a one-time $40 sanitation fee per event.
For example, a 2-hour event is $140 total and a 3-hour event is $190 total.
Special events with more than 75 attendees are $340 total for a full-day rental.
Hourly events for larger groups are $60 per hour, plus a one-time $40 sanitation fee per event.
For example, a 2-hour event is $160 total and a 3-hour event is $220 total.
If you need the building the night before your event for decorating, or the day after for cleanup, and the building is not already booked, the rate is $75 for 5 PM–9 PM (night before) or 8 AM–12 PM (day after), or $25 per hour. These options are for setup/cleanup only and not for hosting an additional event.
Kitchen-only rentals are $40 per hour with a 2-hour minimum, plus a $40 sanitation fee per use. A full-day kitchen rental is $190 total (this includes the sanitation fee).
A $150 deposit is required at the time of booking for event rentals.
This deposit does not go toward the rental balance. It is held separately and is returned after the event if no damage or extra cleaning is required.
Event insurance is required. Coverage must be at least $500,000 for events without alcohol and $1,000,000 for events where alcohol is served. Proof of insurance must be provided before your event date.
Your rental includes full use of the main hall, kitchen area, entertainment systems, outdoor patio, and garage space. The main area is equipped with multiple TVs and a full audio entertainment center, making it easy to play music, display slideshows, or stream videos during your event. Tables and chairs are provided, and guests also have access to the surrounding green space and free on-site parking.
Yes. The Pines features a full commercial kitchen, and it can be rented on its own without booking the entire facility.
Rates differ for kitchen-only rentals, so please contact us directly for pricing and availability. When you fill out the contact or booking form, make sure to note in the message box that you’re requesting the kitchen only.
The Pines shares property with the Stanley Indoor Gun Range, and we generally do not schedule events at The Pines during active range hours for noise reasons.
However, allowances can be made in advance for special occasions. If you’d like to hold an event during range time, we’ll contact the range staff directly to see if they’re willing to close for the evening to accommodate your event.
You can also book both The Pines and the Stanley Indoor Gun Range for the same event. Please note:
- No alcohol is allowed on site while the range is open.
- Alcohol service cannot begin until one hour after the range has closed for the day.
- A Range Safety Officer (RSO) must be available for all private range rentals.
- Private Range Rental Rates:
- $100 for a 2-hour shoot
- $125 RSO fee
- $50 for each additional hour
If you’re interested in hosting an event that overlaps with range hours or includes range time, let us know when you book — we’ll coordinate with the Stanley Indoor Gun Range on your behalf to confirm availability and approval.
Yes — alcohol is allowed as long as it’s served by a licensed caterer or business that obtains the proper permit for your event. In Stanley, licensed providers include The Rustic Bean, The Leader, The 5 Spot, The Golf Club, and Joyce’s Café, all of which can assist with alcohol service and permitting if needed.
Please note that the Stanley Boy Scout Trustees require event insurance for any rental involving alcohol. The policy must provide at least $1,000,000 in coverage for events serving alcohol, or $500,000 for events without alcohol. Proof of insurance must be submitted prior to your event.
Because the permitting and insurance process can take time, we strongly recommend starting this process at least 6 weeks before your event to ensure everything is approved in time.
Yes, you’re welcome to decorate for your event — but all decorations must be temporary and cause no damage to the facility. Do not use nails, screws, tacks, staples, or any strong adhesive that could damage the wood or walls. Painter’s tape or Command strips may be used carefully.
Open flames are not allowed. Battery-operated candles or LED lighting are recommended alternatives.
All decorations, tape, and materials must be completely removed after your event. Any damage, residue, or excessive cleanup may result in a deduction from your deposit or additional fees.
All renters are responsible for leaving The Pines in the same clean condition it was found. You can either clean the facility yourself — including all trash removal, wiping down tables and counters, sweeping and vacuuming the floors, and returning everything to its original place — to receive your full deposit back, or pay a $100 cleaning fee and we’ll handle it for you.
If the building is not properly cleaned, or if damage, excessive trash, or debris is left behind, your deposit will be forfeited and additional fees may apply. This includes leftover decorations, garbage outside the building, or spills on carpets and furniture.
After your event, the Event Manager will inspect the facility to ensure it’s left clean and undamaged. As long as everything is in good condition and all trash, decorations, and personal items are removed, your $100 deposit will be refunded in full.
If any damage, missing items, or excessive cleanup is required, part or all of the deposit may be withheld to cover those costs. Deposits are typically refunded within 5–7 business days after the inspection is completed.
Yes — shorter events are welcome, but availability depends on the calendar. The Pines offers hourly rentals at $25 per hour for events under 4 hours, plus a $40 sanitation fee.
Keep in mind that setup and cleanup time must be included within your rental period, and same-day bookings aren’t always possible. It’s best to schedule at least a few weeks in advance to make sure your preferred time is available.
Yes. The Pines has its own Wi-Fi network and a built-in audio entertainment system that can be used for music, microphones, or event announcements. The main hall also features multiple TVs that can display slideshows, videos, or other media during your event.
You’re welcome to connect your own phone, tablet, or laptop through Bluetooth, HDMI, or AUX input as needed. Please be respectful of the equipment and volume levels — damage or misuse may result in additional fees.
