Honor System Market

Silas House offers a variety of drinks, snacks and merchandise for purchase during your stay. Items can be purchased by credit card on our online market or with cash in a drop box. We are a trust-first property and believe guests will be honest about the items they are taking and account for them accordingly. Please do not leave children unattended to raid the market. The hosts withhold the right to charge guests for unpaid items taken. If items are running low on stock, please let us know!
