Lodge Access

The lodge entrance is accessed via a small number of steps, with all guest suites located on the upper floor. Please note that access is via stairs only, as the property does not offer step-free entry or an elevator.

Guest Age & Pet Guidelines

Our lodge features a unique layout designed with adult relaxation in mind. To maintain this serene atmosphere, the space includes delicate traditional features—such as shoji (Japanese paper screens)—which means it isn't always the best fit for small children or four-legged friends.

​

While we generally do not host young children or pets due to these design considerations, we are happy to discuss exceptions for certain circumstances. Please reach out to us before your stay so we can ensure the lodge is a safe and comfortable match for your group.
