The dark retreat cabin is currently not available.
The dark retreat cabin was the first building project the community took on, the year was 1983. It is located halfway between the School House and Khandroling on private land. The reason for this is because Rinpoche said "Yang-ti is a little secret and needs a place were it can be protected."
The dark retreat cabin has been re-purposed to allow for both dark and light retreats, the first floor is for any retreat and the second floor is for the dark practice, (both can not happen at the same time).
The cabin has 4 rooms with electric heat, futons and a flush toilet, and is easily accessible. There is regular electricity so a hot plate, coffee maker etc can be used as well as it having a refrigerator. Although it is not good to use caffeine while doing Yang-ti practice. No candles and no incense.

Low season price (November - April) - $25/per night
