Journey To Relaxation
Your path to tranquility begins with a scenic drive through an ancient, 800-year-old Old Growth forest—leading you to our serene alpine spa, where stress simply melts away.

Let go and unwind as our skilled therapists guide you through a deeply restorative treatment. Afterward, extend the relaxation on our Spa patio—soak in the hot pool, lounge under open skies, or detox in our cedar barrel sauna. Book your escape today.
