Cancellations 31 days or more in advance may receive a refund minus the deposit, and within 30 days there are no refunds or credits, though you may gift your spot to someone else. A deposit can be transferred once within 12 months, but not within 30 days of the event. Guests are responsible for arranging roommates, and pricing will adjust if room occupancy changes. Day cropping is intended for locals who head home at night, and if plans change and you decide to stay at the hotel, booking goes through Glitter On Top Retreats and separate day crop pricing does not apply.
