Guest Testimonies
This spa is the best place to go for a relaxing day. From the moment you get out of your car, the ambiance is peaceful and the music relaxes you. The food is delicious and staff are so nice. Great place to spend the whole day by yourself or with your friends. It is my happy place!

I went for the very first time and loved it. I got there at 10 a.m. thinking how am I going to spend all day here (my family told me not to return until after dinner)? I left after 10:30 p.m. It was a fantastic day! I enjoyed all the hot and cold tubs, saunas and especially the flotation pool. I had two very enjoyable meals there and a totally wonderful day. I will be back!

I don’t think there’s a wrong time of the year to visit this place. It’s a different experience every season. in the fall, you have so many beautiful colours from all the trees surrounding the spa, in the winter you get unique snow globe feel that you’re in a winter wonderland all while keeping warm in hot tubs and saunas. And in the summer it’s beautiful too! I enjoy the summer with all the cold plunge pools.
