Reservation & Cancellation Policies
Hey, There...
I'm Patricia Brubaker...
I've been in the hospitality industry for the past 17 years and an artist all my life.
I am Resident Artist and "Chief Experience Officer" (CEO) here at Artists Rising Getaways hosted at the Connecticut River Valley Inn.
This place is the fruition of my vision which was to meld my two passions, Art and Hospitality, into what I believe will be a memorable experience for you!
Being an artist, I'm not fond of rules, if you know what I mean. But, sometimes we need those in order to provide happiness and security and to prevent against misunderstandings.. and I hate misunderstandings!
So... thank you for considering an art and rejuvenating experience at my Artists Rising Creativity Retreats!
But please read all the registration and Cancellation policies below to make sure we are all on the same page with no surprises.
Please note that we do not have our policies to become unduly enriched.
There are a lot of commitments we need to make to others who are involved in the retreat such as the guest teachers, staffing, other students. I hope you understand.
Please email me at Hello@CRVInn.com if you have any questions or concerns.
Please also read our FAQ page for more information.
