I decided to give this spot a try after finding about it on Viator. Mind you, I drove all the way from Augusta Ga with my 18 yr old nephew to try it out. We loved it! We wish we could have stayed longer. We did the 3 hour package and we had the whole facility to ourselves. Very relaxing. Side note: If you do the steam room (which was my fav), add the cold water to your cloth along with eucalyptus and report back lol. We did that so many times lol. My nephew loved the cold splunge and the massage chair the most. I would love to come back. They are new, but they are expanding. I love it and I want my customers to experience it as well. Luxury Voyage Travels group trip, here we come 😊.

This turned out to be a bargain way better than I expected. It is a short drive out of Asheville and you get three hours access to a dry sauna, a steam sauna, a massage chair, and two separate areas to soak and relax. Felt totally relaxed and rejuvenated. It’s just you and whoever you want to be with. Great deal. Great experience. Highly recommended.

This was my first experience at a spa and I invited a friend to go with me. The drive to get there is beautiful, can just imagine what Spring will bring. We were given a tour of the spa and then left to enjoy on our own. I enjoyed being able to choose what I wanted to do, and in what order. There is a fire pit outside so I sat out in my bathing suit enjoying the late afternoon sun. When our time was up Tom and Jackie came in and we had a nice chat. What a charming couple, thank you!

We had a great time. We were celebrating our 30th anniversary. Tom showed us all around, explained everything then left us to enjoy his beautiful spa. We loved the steam room and sauna. We also enjoyed the message chair, whirlpool tub and copper tub. The spa is brand new. Check it out you’ll love it!

Absolutely amazing time there. After the initial tour it is very secluded and a relaxing experience. You really do walk out feeling like you’re 21 again! Planning a revisit again next month! 11/10

Had a wonderful experience! So relaxing and loved the variety of steam room then relax in chaise looking out at the hillside, sauna, and soaking tub. Owners were extremely helpful and the facilities are so clean and beautiful, no expense was spared in creating the space.

My husband and I just celebrated our 16th wedding anniversary and I couldn't have picked a better place to relax. This retreat is like none other. From the sauna, steam room, top tier massage chair to heated chair, jet tub and copper tub I cannot pick a favorite spot as it all flowed so nicely together. All the personal touches on what may be needed while there was unexpected and greatly appreciated. We were heading straight to the airport from here and were able to shower, dry my bathing suit and even dry my hair all in the same place we spent 3 hours truly relaxing. I cannot wait to come back and do a girls trip. This is perfect for a couple or group retreat. Tucked in a serene place in the mountains you can escape the busy life to get renewed in so many different ways. Thank you so much for your hospitality and amazing experience for us!! Look forward to our next trip up here!

Amazing, relaxing, down to earth experience! The host warmly greeted and gave a tour of the various spa therapies available. Enjoyed all the different experiences for full 3 hours. Peaceful outdoor view. The host couple were so kind and generous. True gems.
