Among the resort's impressive range of recreational facilities is an equestrian center, ski facility, shooting academy, retail boutiques, wildlife habitats, activity and adventure centers, and kids' programs.

Adult travelers will enjoy accommodations at Falling Rock, a Frank Lloyd Wright-inspired boutique hotel set on the 18th green of one of the property's golf courses. Chateau Lafayette fosters a sophisticated feel, with vaulted ceilings, crystal chandeliers, and two-story Paladin windows, while the English country inn-inspired Lodge is inviting, with spacious rooms and ample lobby and common areas.

The AAA Four Diamond-awarded Aqueous is a sophisticated take on the classic steakhouse, while the family-style Autumn serves Italian specialties. More casual dining options include the Tavern, which features pub fare, and P.J.'s, a 1950s-inspired ice cream parlor.

The facilities at Nemacolin are fantastic, and the staff could not be nicer. I had a hot stone massage that was extremely relaxing. I would skip the water path ritual, and just schedule an aromatherapy soak instead!

Visited midweek which was not a busy time. Ten Toe Reflexology was relaxing and rejuvenating. I tried the Water Path Ritual for something different but wouldn't recommend this for the money. Instead take advantage of the whirlpool. We were the only ones there and they came in to provide water and cold neck towels as we relaxed.

My fiance took me to Nemacolin about 2 years ago, we are planning our return trip this fall. Since I recently signed-up on Spa Finder this is the first chance I had to review this spa.I still remember my therapist, Erin. I had my first Lomi Lomi and I am very thankful that I chose a femail therapist. Initally, everything seemed like it was going to be a "normal" treatment: nice hawaiin music playing, I got to pick a sarong but all the while, I knew something was different.I started off on the table with my back facing up. After I was positioned in a let's say, vulnerable position, I felt a little inhibited and vulnerable. Having said that, what began next was transforming and I can say I have never experienced a better massage in my life.I literally felt at moments like I was on a raft in the middle of the ocean in Hawaii. Between the long stokes of her upper arm used to worked out any stress in my back to the smells of the oil and sounds of Hawaii, I felt as though I was transported to my favorite place: Hawaii.The spa is the most elegant, professional, clean spa I have had the pleasure of experiencing. Now the problem is do I have the Lomi again or go for something new! Maybe 2 services?

I got the "Been There, Done That" package. The DreamCatcher Massage was by far the most incredible spa experience that I've ever had! (Be forewarned, it's different from your 'regular' massage - only the very personal areas are draped.) The Lavendar Indulgence was also fabulous and left my skin feeling like silk. I can't wait to visit this spa again!

The best spa I have ever visited. They treat you like royality. I have been here several times and will continue to return again & again. Their staff is very professional. They have a wide range of treatments & will suit them to your needs. The Spa is so calming, so Zen. The wooded area in the mountains is truly breathtaking. The grounds are extensive & they offer many other activities at the resort in addition to the spa. Many of the treatments they offer have been developed by their staff here & are unique to this spa. Try the Vitality Therapy or for a real treat, one of the Spa Packages that offer a full range of treatment for one price.

I visited the Spa at Nemacolin Woodlands Resort in June 2010 and was pleasantly surprised by the variety of treatments available. Often, spas don't offer many treatments to men or kids, but Nemacolin Woodlands has a wide range of spa services for men as well as couples, in addition to a separate spa just for kids!If you have the opportunity to visit this spa, I highly recommend the Nemacolin signature facial. THey use both hot and cold stones as well as crystals & gemstones to open your energy chakras.As if it couldn't get any better, they add a hot stone massage for your hands and feet and neck!I will go back again and again.

I brought my Grandmother and mom to the spa just for the day as a Christmas present it was very relaxing and we received excellent massages. The infusers they use really add to the place with the smell of all these different calming scents and has wonderful decoration. Definitely worth the money; everyone was extremely nice.
