Spa At Woods

I had a pedicure with Jen, and it couldn’t have been a better experience. She was very calm and peaceful during the entire process; she clearly knows what she is doing, and she gave me an awesome lower leg and foot massage. It was the most relaxing pedicure I have ever had. The private room we were in was clean and dimly lit, and the instrumental (think: Enya) music playing in the background was a nice touch.
I hear what other reviewers are saying about the locker room needing some updating, but I honestly feel like it is more than adequate for securing your stuff, changing and showering. The best part is that, if you get any spa service, you get to use the pool, sauna, eucalyptus steam room and hot tub. Although it was a rainy day when I went, it looked like they had a nice patio outside as well.

I went this past Saturday with my boyfriend for a couples massage. We were lucky that it was a slow weekend — we basically had the whole place to ourselves which was awesome! Since the website does not post pictures of the facilities, it was difficult to know what to expect in terms of quality. I agree with everyone who has posted saying that the facilities (locker room, welcome area, tiling/​carpets throughout) are outdated. They could definitely use a makeover. We enjoyed the steam room, sauna and pool. The hot tub only had jets working on one side of it and the «fountain» /​waterfall was broken. The ladies locker room was adequate but nothing special — it almost felt more like the YMCA. The robes are okay but the slippers were cloth material, stained & gross. The massage room itself was spacious, even had a nice sitting area. But there was a LOUD ticking clock right by my head during the massage that made it difficult to relax. I would recommend that they switch to digital clocks. I had Ellen and she was great for a regular Swedish massage. My boyfriend had Erin for a deep tissue massage which he said was really relaxing and she was able to get all his knots.
For the price of the massage ($ 230 for 50 min couples massage), I expected more from the facilities. I’ve been to many other spas (granted, not in this area) that are much nicer and more updated.
Also, I know most spas have you sign a waiver of sorts before undergoing any treatments… this place did not have us sign anything. Just another little thing that seemed out of sorts about this place.

I booked an 80 minute deep tissue massage at the Spa at the Woods this past weekend. Everything started out fine, the facilities looked a little outdated, but that’s ok, I’m not terribly picky. I was led to the changing room, which had a funky smell, was provided a robe and towel which were far from luxurious and waited for the massage in the lounge area which again was outdated, but still ok. The massage therapist Ellen was quite nice and did a very good job with the massage but I made the mistake of opening my eyes while she was working on my back. The floor was disgustingly filthy, the carpet stained, the tiles dirty. Still I was determined to put that out of my mind and enjoy the massage. Afterwards, I thanked Ellen and went back to the changing room. I looked at my phone and I had only been in there for about 55 minutes. This is when things went from a three star rating to a one. I went out to the reception desk and she said that the clocks were wrong and I missed out on 10 minutes so she discounted me $ 10’s off the normally $ 175 price tag. I made the mistake of not looking at rates ahead of time and as you know after a good massage you are a bit delirious, so I paid and went on my way. The more I think about it the more frustrated I become, to the point where I almost felt like it was a scam. The $ 175 rate is just over the top expensive for the quality of the spa to begin with, and I’m sorry but 10 minutes of a $ 175 massage does not equal $ 10, and it was more like 25 minutes and not 10.

I had a great pumpkin massage. All of my kinks were wiped away… only to be undone by the crowded locker room, packed with whining children. Something to consider if you are looking for a truly relaxing experience.

The best way to end a short ski trip is with a few hours at the Spa. We booked a couples massage and were satisfied. the rooms were a little cold for my wive’s taste, but I didn’t even notice. they also have a indoor pool, with two 25m lap lanes, and a hot tub underneath a trickling fountain wall. It was very relaxing. I stayed after my massage and read a book by the pool for an hour while my wife got a facial treatment.
The spa is about a quarter of mile off the main road behind a condo area. The only awkward part was that condo guests also use the facilities and it is not uncommon to run into people changing into ski gear in the dressing rooms. It takes away from some of the experiences privacy.
It is still probably the best spa in the area from what everyone else says.

I had a massage with Ellen, she was great! she truly knows a skiers aches and pains.
Besides having the massage I was able to use the facility’s as well, the pool is a beautiful 75foot indoor pool with a huge jacuzzi. Perfect for my after skiing pains.
The locker room could use some updating, kind of had a funny smell.
