Insider’s Favorite: I personally love our CBD Massage. It’s 100 minutes of calming deep work using local CBD oils from Heart Grown Wild. Warm stones are used to loosen muscles while aiding in penetration of the CBD. The treatment ends with a local CBD kombucha.

Unique Treatment: Our Stowe Cider Uber Scrub ($300/100 min). This 100-minute pampering treatment pairs local award-winning Stowe Cider with a relaxing spa experience. Begin with a full-body scrub incorporating the byproducts of fermentation from local Stowe Cider and exfoliating ingredients to smooth dry, overworked skin. Next, your therapist will hydrate your skin and relax your muscles with a 50-minute full-body massage. After your service, the Spa Concierge will bring you a can of cold Stowe Cider to enjoy in the Sanctuary.

Whether it's a facial, massage, or full-body treatment, the Spa and Wellness Center at The Lodge uses natural techniques inspired by the mountains.
