FARMHOUSE SPA |
|
 There is no better way to relax
while aligning your mind, body and soul than by
experiencing Blackberry Farm's famous
Aveda Concept Farmhouse Spa.
If the walls of its 1800's
farmhouse could talk, they would surely tell a
much different story today than they did when
the Farmhouse was home to Melinda Webb and her
seventeen children more than a century ago. The
original floors have been beautifully restored
and the rooms once used as bedrooms now house
massage tables, handcrafted cabinets with
warming drawers and Aveda spa products.
Blackberry recently renovated the spa to
offer a new selection of services, including
hydrotherapy in a state-of-the-art wet
treatment room with Vichy Shower. The new
room provides guests the ultimate in pampering
with a heated tile floor, Scots hose and
seven-headed Vichy Shower, offering luxurious
water treatments that are detoxifying,
hydrating and intensely relaxing – both
spiritually and physically.
Service
menu includes: Signature body treatments
(wraps, scrubs, and exfoliating treatments);
Customized Aveda Facials; Massage; Manicures;
Pedicures; Hydrotherapy, including Vichy
Showers; In-room treatments available, with
Bath Butler services.
