Host Your Retreat at Blisstopia — FAQs

💰 Costs & Payments

  • What is the rental fee, and what does it include?

    Your rental fee grants exclusive use of our full 6,800 sq ft, 5-bedroom, 2-story Villa and surrounding grounds — nothing is shared with outside groups during your dates. This includes:


    • South & West side: Parking for 20+ cars, natural sand & stone Labyrinth, Sunset Gazebo
    • East side: Pool, hot tub, outdoor yoga deck, and direct access to hiking trails just outside our gate
    • Additional amenities: Covered patio & outdoor kitchen, fully stocked yoga studio (mats, blocks, bolsters, straps & blankets included), 2-person infrared sauna, outdoor fire pit for ceremonies, and 6 bathrooms across the property

    Rental rates vary by season and are quoted per night with a minimum-night stay. Reach out to us directly for current rates and availability for your dates.

  • Are there extra fees?

    • A 15% non-refundable deposit is required to reserve your dates. This is what officially holds your exclusive dates on our calendar — dates cannot be held without it.
    • Once your deposit is in, Blisstopia Retreats sets up a payment plan of up to 4 total payments for your remaining balance.
    • Your final payment is due 30 days before your retreat check-in date.
  • What payment methods do you accept?

    • Zelle (preferred, no fees)
    • Venmo (no fees)
    • Check by mail (no fees)
    • Credit card (3.5% processing fee applied to the invoice)
  • What is the cancellation policy?

    • Your 15% deposit is non-refundable from the moment of booking — it's what secures your exclusive dates and takes Blisstopia off the market for every other inquiry during that window.
    • Cancel 180+ days before your retreat: Full refund of any additional payments made beyond the deposit.
    • Cancel within 179 days of your retreat: No refunds are issued on any payments made.

    We know hosting has real ups and downs. If you're facing low sign-ups, a change of heart, or any bump along the way, talk to us before making a decision — our team has walked this road and is here to help you strategize, not just enforce a policy.

  • Is there a deposit for the meal plan or Sedona excursion?

    Yes, if you add these optional services:


    • Meal Plan: $200 non-refundable deposit to reserve; final guest count and dietary restrictions due no later than 7 days before check-in.
    • Sedona Day Trip Excursion: $600 non-refundable deposit to reserve the van.

🏡 Capacity & Logistics

  • What is the maximum guest capacity?

    17 guests overnight, across 5 bedrooms and 17 beds. Exceptions may be possible for larger day groups — reach out directly to discuss.

  • What are the rental hours / check-in & check-out times?

    • Standard check-in: 3:00 PM
    • Standard check-out: 11:00 AM

  • Is parking available?

    Yes — free parking for 20–25+ cars on-site, located on the south and west side of the property.

  • Is the venue wheelchair accessible?

     No. Blisstopia is a 2-story villa and is not handicap accessible. We want to be upfront about this so you can plan your guest list accordingly.

  • Is there an age requirement for guests?

    Yes — all guests must be 16 years or older. Children under 16 are not permitted on the property during your rental.

  • Do I need a credit card on file?

    Yes, a valid credit card is required at check-in to cover any incidentals or property damage.

  • Can I bring extra day guests or visitors beyond my registered headcount?

    Additional overnight or daytime visitors beyond your registered guest count are not permitted without prior written approval from us — just ask ahead of time and we'll work with you.

🍽️ Vendors & Catering

  • Can I bring outside vendors?

    Yes — you're welcome to hire your own facilitators, chefs, healers, or other vendors at no extra fee from us. We simply require a copy of their liability insurance before your event.

  • Are there kitchen facilities?

    Yes — a complete gourmet kitchen fully stocked with cooking utensils and supplies for preparing any meal for up to 17 guests, whether you're cooking yourselves or bringing in a chef.

  • Do you offer a meal plan?

     Yes, our optional meal plan is prepared ayurvedically with organic, gluten-free ingredients — vegan and vegetarian are our specialty, with beef, chicken, fish, and other proteins available. Suggested per-person pricing:


    • Breakfast: $18.50
    • Lunch: $23.00
    • Dinner: $29.50

    The meal plan includes all grocery shopping, full kitchen prep, meal announcements, and portioning/serving. It does not include room service or guest laundry. A $200 non-refundable deposit reserves the service.

  • Are there restrictions on food or alcohol?

    Blisstopia is an alcohol-free facility. If your group has interest in a limited exception (such as one glass of wine per guest), ask us directly — we can discuss on a case-by-case basis.

  • What other services can I add for my guests?

    We offer optional private 1:1 sessions (massage, Reiki, chakra readings, hypnotherapy, breathwork & cold plunge, self-defense/fitness) and group sessions (yoga classes, breathwork, boxing, cacao ceremony & sound bowl healing), plus a guided Sedona day trip excursion. Ask us for full pricing and availability.

📋 Rules & Restrictions

  • Are there noise restrictions or a strict end time each night?

    Yes — quiet hours are 9:00 PM to 7:00 AM every day. No amplified music, loud voices, or disruptive noise after 9 PM, and no outside noise beyond the property line. This is both a community commitment and a lease requirement we take seriously.

  • What are the decoration rules?

    Please do not hang, tape, or stick anything to walls, mirrors, or windows. We're happy to help you find creative decoration solutions (freestanding décor, tables, easels, etc.) that keep the villa in pristine condition for every host.

  • Do I need event insurance?

    Yes — every host is required to carry an active liability/event insurance policy covering both the property and their guests. This is non-negotiable and protects you as much as it protects us.

  • Can outside vendors work at my event?

    Yes, with a copy of their insurance on file (see Vendors & Catering above).
