Mountain Inspired Pampering

The Spa at the Grove Park Inn Resort is surrounded by the Blue Ridge Mountains in Asheville, North Carolina. Among the many luxurious treatments offered, the Mountain Honey Wrap includes an exfoliation, wrap, half-hour massage and a take-home gift. Blending mountain honey, warm goatbutter cream and a mild exfoliant with lavender essential oil and herbal extracts, this 80-minute treatment is designed for the ultimate in relaxation.

The Spa at Old Edwards Inn, also located in the mountains of North Carolina, uses native herbs and botanicals from their spa garden for their signature Carolina Cocoons. The Sweet Mountain Meadow Cocoon, for example, begins with an exfoliating body scrub blended with crushed lavender, chamomile, rosemary, and peppermint. The treatment continues with a Metamorphosis Massage and an application of hydrating body cream, followed by the final cocooning and transformation, likened to that of a beautiful emerging butterfly.

For more than 225 years, visitors to The Greenbrier Spa, located in White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia, have enjoyed the natural mineral based benefits of the famous sulphur springs. Kate's Mountain Kur, one of the Greenbrier signature services, begins with a native mineral bath. The relaxing bath is followed by a Black Walnut Scrub and a petite massage, using The Greenbrier's signature finishing lotion.
