We couldn't have been happier with the great service we received here. The spa is set amid a beautiful canyon and provides great scenery, but the real 5-star experience is in the small building- now the Canyon Spa- that used to be the home of the community's caretaker. This is far from an extravagant spa facility and they do not have extensive amenities such as sauna/steam/jacuzzi, but the building is very clean, relaxing, and well appointed with luxurious and comfortable pleasantries and the service is top notch. Our massage treatments were great (my wife's was a maternity massage which she was very satisfied with) and we felt relaxed and not rushed at all. This may not have the pomp and circumstance of Old Edwards, but I haven't had many, if any, better actual massage treatments. Thanks!

We had an amazing few hours at the Canyon Spa at Lonesome Valley. The property itself is gorgeous…read more The spa prices are competitive. We walked in and were welcomed and brought in for a nice relaxing experience. I got the prenatal message by Tessa, she has the hands of an angel - amazing massage! My mother in law didn't love hers as much as I did, but she enjoyed it overall (hers was a male masseuse), but our friend agreed her scrub was fantastic. If we are in the area again, I will be back for a massage! The only downside to this spa is it doesn't have your typical spa amenities, I wouldn't take off stars for it but it would be nice if it had a dipping pool, sauna room or something additional to set the mood. On property is the Canyon Kitchen, which was closed for an event but we really wanted to sit out back for an appetizer and enjoy the beautiful views from the property.

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.
