Why they chose this property
We imbue Positive Energetic Resonance in all of our projects. When possible the design of the interior of the property has been chosen based on Vastu Shastra or Vastu. Vastu is the ancient Ayurvedic science of home design. Vastu Shastra is an ancient science energy flow throughout the home that allows inflow of fresh air and natural light that promotes health, wealth, peace and happiness. Proper home design brings prosperity, health and happiness. Vastu plays a vital role in everyone’s life. Every project we manage has been blessed, saged and energetically cleared. All projects incorporate faux plants, living walls and natural healing crystals for enhancing positive vibrational frequency. We are very passionate about the environment and the planet we all share. As an organization we focus sustainability and whenever possible we try and limit negative impact and enhance positive impact on the Environment, Society, and Governance bodies. We also donate a portion of every booking to Tunnel to Towers Foundation & My Life My Power World, Inc.

What makes this property unique
At Holstram we want every environment to be safe, clean & healthy. Prior to COVID-19 we designed and incorporated robust maintenance and cleaning protocols. This process began by paying living wages to all our cleaning staff. The first protocol was maximizing the indoor air quality. There is a Himalayan salt lamp (Halotherapy) in every bedroom. We use air filters with a MINIMUM MERV rating of 10. We want the air you breathe to be pure and clean. In our pursuit for environmental sustainability and energy conservation we use Nest learning thermostats and LED light bulbs. To conserve water we use H/E dual flush toilets and have Tesla (EV) chargers at some locations to progress the transition to green energy. Next, you will be spending on average 33% of your time in bed. We have a "smudge kit" in every bedroom to purify, re-energize, restore, cleanse and balance energy. This saturates the space with peace, calmness, and positive intentions at a quantum level. We have PREMIUM memory foam mattresses in every bedroom (Tempurpedic, Casper, Purple, Nectar, Ghost Bed). We offer PREMIUM all white bedding and all natural cotton towels. We also REMOVE and REPLACE the duvet covers on every bed after every guest. Most Short Term Rentals (STR) and many hotels do NOT replace or launder the blanket on the bed after every guest. Every location has spa quality toiletries (Soapbox) and paper products (Viva) (Angel Soft). All properties are professionally maintained.
