An Invitation to the
Rickhanie Circle
A sanctuary is protected not by fences, but by those who cherish it.
Every person who steps into Rickhanie Experiences is part of our trusted circle.
That's why we invite all guests to register as Rickhanie Circle members — not because of fees or obligation, but because it's how we keep this retreat personal, not public.
Rickhanie Circle membership is how we preserve the quiet, respectful spirit of this place. There's no fee, no complicated process — only a shared understanding that this is not a commercial tourist spot, but a private riverside retreat for those who value rest, renewal, connection, and legacy.
What It Means to Be a Member
Membership comes with access, invitations, and belonging.
As part of the Rickhanie Circle, you'll receive:
Early access to curated experiences like campfire nights, tea roasting 围炉烤茶, legacy talks, and private gatherings.
Invitations to intimate "Circle's Evenings" — quiet, meaningful moments designed for reflection and shared stories.
The simple privilege of returning to a riverside space where everyone values the same atmosphere of rest.
Guests & Registration
Members may bring up to 2 guests per visit.
To keep the space intimate and trusted, additional guests will need to register as members.
Registration is free — it's our way of ensuring that everyone who steps into this place does so with shared respect and intention.
What are the activities on-site?
Most of our members come simply to rest, breathe, and enjoy the riverside and mountain views. For those who desire more, we offer curated activities (with add-on fees), including soak pods 静浸泡池, riverboat rides, campfire nights, tea roasting 围炉烤茶, BBQ facility, pool use (complimentary for members), camping, soothing live music nights (upon request), etc.
On top of that, we provide guided legacy-building sessions tailored for families and business.
All of these are member-exclusive, so the atmosphere stays private and restful. You can simply enjoy the space quietly, or add on activities and legacy elements depending on your group's needs.

Soak Pods
静浸泡池 (6ft diameter)
When we were young, Grandpa taught us something simple and true —"When your heart is heavy, go to the water."
Water has a way of holding space for our quietest emotions. Here at Rickhanie, we built three soak pods to let you pause, breathe, and let the water do its quiet work of healing and rejuvenation.
The best time to book your soak pod experience? Stay the night, and let the night sky accompany your soak.

Legacy Experiences
(for Family or Business)
Some moments are meant to linger far beyond the retreat itself.
Our Legacy Experiences are guided sessions thoughtfully tailored for families, businesses, or both — designed to create meaningful conversations, clarity of direction, and lasting alignment across generations.
Picture your family or team gathered around the campfire, by the riverside, or seated at our ten-seater roundtable — not just talking about the future, but shaping it together.
These sessions are crafted to leave an imprint that endures. When you're ready to mark your next milestone, we'll sit with you to design a journey worthy of your legacy.
Legacy Experiences are curated and quoted upon request.
Some moments are lived. Others are remembered for generations.
In short, Rickhanie Experiences is not a homestay.
It's a private riverside sanctuary — a space curated with intention, shared only with those who value quiet, meaningful time by the river and mountains.
If this resonates with you, we warmly invite you to be part of the Rickhanie Circle — our trusted community of members who help preserve the atmosphere that makes this place special.
