Please note the Spa and Wellness credit may only be used towards spa or healing arts services, cannot be applied to other associated costs of the retreat, and if not used will be forfeited. Preferred spa and healing arts services are subject to availability at time of booking. Taxes and gratuities are not reflected in the all-inclusive program price and will be assessed upon check-out.

Gratuities for spa packages are based on the original service price of each service within the package. Gratuity may be adjusted at your discretion.

If you plan to bring a service animal with you, we require advance notice and documentation detailing the specific duties the animal is trained to perform.

COMMON SPACE CONDUCT
Shou Sugi Ban House is a place of tranquility. We honor all guests’ right to privacy, serenity, and comfort. To preserve this environment, we request that you silence your personal electronic devices, refrain from speaking on mobile phones, playing music in public spaces, or using cameras in common spaces.
