Such a beautiful staycation. And equally special in the winter. From our arrival to departure, every concern and care- addressed. Faves: fireplace in the middle of a snowstorm, deep soaking tub, private outdoor space and food. Will definitely be back. ?
What a GEM! Went with my girlfriend for a New Year’s weekday getaway and this place exceeded expectations. Spa was a little small but staff was incredible, food was on point and a beautiful reset. Definitely will be coming back. Beds can be a bit better (and bigger) but nothing but good vibes out here. We really appreciated spending our days with them. Thank you!
I was excited to visit for the first time but when I woke up to 6"+ of snow and a sore throat, I called to reschedule. They advised me that if I could not make it I would be charged 50% and that there would be no further flexibility even though everything else in town was closed for the snow. Needless to say I will not be rebooking as they were rude and unoccomodating.
If you’re looking for the best facial of your life, you’re in great hands with Natalia. I had the lift facial and my skin hasn’t looked this good in nearly two decades. The amenities are also stellar here, with the staff really going out of their way to make sure you’re taken care of. The restaurant is also phenomenal, this place really is a perfect experience for an afternoon.
I had the most restorative experience at Shou Sugi Ban House. As requested, I took my wife for her birthday. I did not expect to have one of the most memorable days of our lives. The environment is serene and beautifully curated, every detail invites calm. The spa was immaculate and intentional. My wife’s massage with Katie was incredible, deeply healing and invigorating. Special thanks to Dena and Summer, and the rest of the staff, who were patient, organized, and made everything flow effortlessly. 6 stars for the Chef, our meal was delicious and beautifully presented. True hospitality and holistic care. We left feeling lighter, clearer, and deeply nourished. Thank you again. Can’t wait to return!
As soon as you pull into the Shou Sugi Ban House property you can feel a sense of calm. I spent an afternoon here and got a facial from Natalia and could not have asked for a better day. Hydro therapy before the treatment was amazing. Beautiful, clean spaces. The facial treatment was one of the best I’ve ever had. Natalia was knowledgeable, kind, and patient with all my questions about my skin. The whole staff was also warm and welcoming. The facial itself was extremely relaxing with a shoulder and neck massage to end it. After my treatment I had a delicious lunch that was flavorful and nourishing. I spend my summer out in the Hamptons for work and to be able to have this experience was really special. I can’t wait to go back!
From the moment I stepped into the cozy, tea-filled waiting area, bathed in natural light, I knew I was in for something special. The staff couldn’t have been more warm or welcoming—they made the whole experience feel effortless and kind. After my treatment, I had the most incredible chicken bowl—truly one of the yummiest, brightest, freshest things I’ve eaten in the Hamptons. Everything about the spa feels thoughtful, calming, and beautifully curated. It’s the kind of place you walk out of glowing, inside and out. HAD THE BEST MASSAGE!! Will return!
This place has a very dark energy to it. Looks beautiful on the surface but if you scratch just a little bit things are truly weird. I had a downright disturbing set of experiences on a retreat. I will never return and suggest you stay away too
I am obsessed with this spa. I have had 4-5 treatments there the past 2 years and it always feels so enjoyable and relaxing. Reception upon checking in knows your name and is warm and inviting. The specialists that have done my massages, facials, reiki, were SO GOOD. Lymphatic drainage massage was my favorite. The hydro contrast circuit was so nice, the grounds are stunning. Feels like I'm on vacation for a few hours.
