Stormking Spa & Cabins, Ashford (Mt. Ranier), WA
We were there for 3 days, it was fantastic!! the cabin was very clean and accommodating, our spa treatments (4 total) were excellent, the rooms were clean and smelled wonderfully the beds were heated and there was no rush. Courtesy was out of this world. We have already made plans to return. I would recommend this spa to everyone that just needs to get away from it all, Once you arrive, you forget about the outside world.....Last words....Ahhhhhh -- Yolanda T., 2008

Stormking Spa & Cabins, Ashford (Mt. Ranier), WA
Amazing! My husband was home for mid-tour leave from Iraq and all we wanted was a day away from "everything" and Storm King delivered. The half hour hot tub soak was so private and relaxing - the sound of the rushing creek nearby helped to bring us closer to nature and into deeper relaxation. The massage was the best I have ever received - I felt so happy to peek over and see my husband at peace. The warming environment and simplicity of the cabin made it so easy for us to re-connect and completely forget about all the craziness of the deployment. One of the best parts was the visit we had with the deer while enjoying our morning coffee. There were several little details that made the trip extra special. It was neat to page thru the journal where previous guest shared a bit about their stay. An excellent sound system with peaceful CD's to listen to made the cabin even more mystical. Being able to gaze up to the skylight at midnight and see the beautiful array of stars was breathtaking. The location of Storm King also makes it a sure winner. Just the drive alone offered lots of conversation points, the surrounding landscape and trees are amazing, and there are several little antique shops and cafe's to enjoy. I didn't want to leave! Three words to sum up our stay: Peaceful, Mystical, and Romantic! -- Heidi S., 2007

IT WAS HEAVENLY! Myself, daughter and daughter-in-law planned this get-a-away weekend months ago to celebrate daughter's birthday & other special occasions. It was our first experience with a facial body massage. We shad no idea what we had been missing. Storm King Spa Cabins was beautiful, owners treated us as if we had been long lost friends, cabin was unbelievably beautiful, peaceful, birds sang just for us, little critters and deer and fawn made surroundings even more beautiful, beauty of creek and its sounds are indescribable. Must see to understand, and of course best of all were the magical hands of our masseuse (bless her hands!) she made our first experience the best ever. We are already planning future trips there, so if you haven't been there ... WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR? -- Berta H., 2007

When my husband and I decided to get away from it all in Ashford, the first place we called was Stormking. They didn't have a cabin for us, but we did book a spa appointment. We chose the Lover's Retreat.

Our appointment began with Deborah, the owner, and a deer (yes, a real deer) greeting us at the door (the deer was outside, however). Deborah led us upstairs to a large private room with a bathroom. We changed into the biggest fluffiest robes I've seen at any spa, grabbed towels (again-- so soft and fluffy!) and then Deborah led us outside to the sauna. The sauna was beautifully situated next to a wonderful creek and across from a heavily wooded area. We disrobed and entered the warmth of the steamy sauna. We could hear the creek outside, which added to our relaxation.

When we got back inside (after half an hour in the sauna), we met Becky and Raina, who would be providing our spa services. We started with a salt glow polish for me and a Morroccan mud wrap for him. It was wonderful. Following the wrap and the polish, we each had a divine 1-hour massage. It was absolutely the best! Becky and Raina were attentive and thorough. My husband and I were completely relaxed. We were sad for the session to end; we felt so rejuvenated and refreshed!

Deborah, Becky and Raina were awesome. The facilities were gorgeous and smelled so good. The location was fabulous. I really cannot rave enough about Stormking. We came back from our weekend away, and we told all our friends about Stormking; one friend has already booked an appointment for next week! We plan to be back again, soon! -- Shannon K., May 2005

We Loved it!! Absolutely delightful experience! Muscle tension that had been so painful for months was gone at the end of the 1 hour aromatherapy massage. Rejuvenating, deeply relaxing, we felt cared for and healed. The spa was clean, warm and the massage therapists were experts, professional and kind. We also stayed at Storm King's Raven cabin for the weekend, nestled in the forest with a private hot tub and sweeping forest views. Loved it!! -- Julia K., May 2004

Deborah and Steve are perfect hosts! My husband and I spent our anniversary in the Eagle cabin. It was the perfect getaway. Our hosts had thought of every detail imaginable. We were so impressed with their thoughtfulness and hospitality. We had never been to a spa before or had any treatments. Our experiences with Deborah were amazing. The rooms were gorgeous and well-scented. The treatments were delightful and everything was done in such a way as to put our comfort first! If you are looking for a place to be treated like royalty, without losing the comforts of home, this is it! -- Laurie B., May 2004

My girlfriend and I went to the Stormking for our two year anniversary and stayed in the Bear cabin. It was romantic, private, cozy, and clean. After staying the first night in our cabin, we went to the Stormking Spa. I had Ilee and my girlfriend had Deborah (the owner) for a foot soak/massage, full body massage, and a facial. Both spa rooms were very clean and tranquil and it felt like you wanted to stay there all day. Deborah was the only one available on Sunday but we both wanted services done so she called in Ilee on her day off just to accommodate us! We are definitely coming back for another romantic weekend and the Stormking Spa and Cabins. -- Kayak and Corina, March 2004

Le Salon Paul Morey, Seattle, WA.
This is the best spa I have been to in the Seattle area. I have been there twice now. The massages both times were excellent and very professional. All of the staff I have experienced have been friendly and do a great job. I had a sampler the first time where I experienced an entrance foot bath, great whirlpool tub, excellent massage and wonderful facial. I would definitely recommend this spa!" -- Jennifer S.

Ummelina Spa, Seattle, WA.
As a surprise, my husband, who had never been to a spa, chose Ummelina Spa because they had a "couples package." The first part of the package exceeded my expectations -- we entered a dark, private room with a wonderfully deep whirlpool spa with a candle lit beside it. It had a loofah scrub brush, plus all kinds of soaps and bath salts. At the end of the room was a shower with jets at all levels. In the package, we had the room for an hour. It was great!

We then split up to our separate massages. This is where we were both disappointed and uncomfortable. The massages themselves were above average, but my massage therapist told me at the end she wanted to bless me and asked me if I wanted it "silent" or not. Well, I decided I wanted to hear what she was "blessing" so I asked for it out loud.

She blessed all of my body parts from my head to my toes, in different intervals. My husband, meanwhile, reported also feeling uncomfortable with questions he is being asked by his massage therapist -- how he felt inside, etc. Because we felt imposed upon, and that both therapists were unprofessional, we have decided not to return. This is a shame because the spa package was such a great idea. -- 2000
