The Bathhouse Reset

The Bathhouse Reset

25–31 guests · about 2.5 hours from New York

Two to two-and-a-half hours from Manhattan, this design-forward Connecticut inn is held as a full-house buyout for larger teams: dry and wet sauna, cold plunge, then the pool. Meals land in the property’s own dining room — resident dining, not a commuting-chef story. An on-site host welcomes the team; Sprinter round-trip from Manhattan sits in the from-price.

Sized for 25–31 so you actually fill the house — real immersion, one guest per bed, and a lower per-person estimate than a soft hold that leaves most of the inn empty. Prefer a smaller team? We can scope a partial room hold instead. Nearby forest preserves when the group wants a long walk. If this exact property isn’t free, we match another wellness-forward inn with the same bathhouse mood.

Where you stay

A design-forward Connecticut inn taken over for your group: ensuite rooms across the full house (~31 rooms), a large workshop / plenary event space for the whole cohort, living commons and library, a dining room for chef-driven meals, a European-style bathhouse (dry/wet sauna, cold plunge, relaxation), seasonal pool, and lawn. Meeting-ready wifi. Full-house buyout for 25–31; exact room and bed map confirmed on quote.

FAQ

How does the booking process work?

Pick a retreat that fits your team and tell us when you’re coming and how many. You’re then contacted by a local partner, who adjusts every detail with you and sends a custom quote covering the house, meals in the package, and everything else included. Once it feels right, you’re booked — one partner, nothing left to assemble.

How do I pay for my stay?

You pay Vantly, not the venue or a third party. After the quote is approved we send a secure payment link (card or bank transfer, depending on the booking). The balance and any deadline are on the quote so there’s no surprise invoice from someone else.

Will I be asked for a security deposit?

Most full-house buyouts hold a refundable security deposit against damage or extra charges. Whether it’s required, the amount, and when it’s released are listed on your quote — usually a card hold or separate charge, refunded after checkout if everything’s in order.

What are the cancellation terms?

Cancellation terms are on your quote and depend on how close you are to arrival and what the host requires. In general: cancel early and you keep most of what you’ve paid (minus a small fee); closer in, less is refundable; very late cancellations or no-shows are usually non-refundable. If we have to cancel for reasons outside your control, you get a full refund or a rebook.
