My best friend and I had a lovely time soaking at Shoji Retreat! This charming spa is in a forest…read moreoasis. They suggested we arrive 30 minutes prior to our scheduled soak. The day we went seemed to be short staffed, so things took longer than expected, but our experience overall was great. When they were ready for us, they guided us to the fitting rooms with showers. We were given shoes, robes, towels, and tote bags. There are no official lockers here, so you are welcome to take your tote with you into your private bath. The fitting room had everything you needed. When we were ready we had another long wait, but were invited to enjoy the sauna. They gave us refreshing mint iced washcloths for the sauna that I loved. They have a menu with a bunch of great add-ons, I decided to stick with the water, but my best friend got the coconut water. When our bath was ready, they showed us a map on how to get down to our soak. We walked down a beautiful hill path to our bath overlooking the forest. Even though we started late, they still gave us the full hour. The intercom system seems to be a bit older. There was an awkward moment where they tried to speak to us, but we couldn't hear them over the hot tub bubbles, when I went back to ask them what they said, they never replied. Besides that, we had a wonderful time. Be mindful that the drive up is a bit confusing, you'll want to do a mix of following their signs and your GPS. The experience is also a bit pricey for what it is, but I'm still glad I tried it with my best friend.

You can even stay overnight in their on site Japanese inspired lodges surrounded by quiet mountain forest. I experienced the tea side hot tubs outside and I didn't want to leave it was my favorite part of the experience along with the Savasana & Chea Massage Pods. I really feel liked I died and went to heaven in those chairs . If you are looking for a truly peaceful place that's great to visit even solo I say this one should be at the top of your list .

I live in California. I've been a client of ME for years…read more This review is solely for Francine Paul. My best friend booked me an appointment with her for my birthday. After traveling over night to Asheville, through 2 airports I saw Francine and I was amazed at her massage techniques. I literally felt like a new person when I left. She listens, advised me on things to do and really was amazing. I will definitely book with her again . She has to be one of the best massage therapist I have ever seen and I have seen a lot living in Southern CA. Francine is an expert in her craft. I would highly recommend her for your massage therapist. I cannot wait to come back to Asheville and schedule with her. She is a true asset to this location. She is definitely a game changer. So grateful that I have been connected with her. She is AMAZING!

The massage was excellent. I immediately rebooked and was offered 10% off on my next massage. I had tried several other therapists since moving to the area 3 years ago. I have found my massage home. The spa overall is on par with spas I have enjoyed in the past and while traveling. I will try other services! As an aside..they use real cups and mugs for beverages and cloth hand towels in the wash rooms. At the end of the massage, I found a hot towel waiting for me to wipe off any residual oil before dressing and a fresh towel on the floor when stepping off of the table! Overall a wonderful experience.
