Unique Treatment: Our most unique treatment is the Couples Journey Through the Forest in the Copper Tub Room. During this treatment, guests receive a full-body exfoliation treatment followed by a 20-minute soak in our luxurious copper tub. The culmination of this journey is a world-class massage. We use an exclusive Tree of Life aroma in each element of the treatment. The room itself is outfitted with one-way mirrors in the heart of the woods. Guests are instantly immersed in nature yet still comfortably secluded.

Splurge Treatment: One of our newer treatments is the HydraFacial. It balances cutting-edge technology and proven methods of hydration and exfoliation. The results are always immediate and our estheticians are almost as excited as our guests to share this experience.
