I first went to Hemlock Spa this summer for a Swedish massage while staying in nearby Cochecton. Oh…read moremy gosh- was the experience to die for! The entire staff is so welcoming and friendly, the massage was relaxing and soothing, and after the massage I was invited to step outside. Awaiting me was a luxurious sauna, outdoor showers, Kniepp walk (which involves walking through water and over stones and moss), and a cozy seating area surrounded by lush greenery. I had never felt so relaxed before in my life! I walked out of there with noodly legs and a glowing face. In fact, I enjoyed it so much that a month later I gifted my boyfriend a massage at Hemlock for his birthday; he loved it! Thank you to all the lovely people who work at the spa, (especially Katie!) I will be back!

This is the place if you are looking for a little relaxation away from home. I booked the…read moresalt/sauna/steam package for myself and made my first visit the The Spa on a Saturday morning. The girl at the front desk was very welcoming. She gave me a key and showed me to the ladies locker room. The locker room is small. Also, the lockers are right in front of the entrance, so it's not ideal if you're shy. People will come and go as you are getting undressed. They were also assigning the lockers in exact numerical order, so while you are trying to get undressed, there will be another patron just standing there waiting to be able to enter their locker which is right next to yours. It would be helpful if they would at least assign them more broadly, so the other patron might be at the opposite end of the row lockers. I will say though, the locker room was pretty clean. There were hot tea and cereal bars available as well as a selection of various toiletries. It would have been nice to have spa water available in there though. After spending time in the sauna and steam shower, something cold to drink would have been great. I returned to the front desk as instructed. I was given the option of which service I wanted to do first. I opted to start in the salt room, followed by sauna, and end with steam shower. The salt room was very relaxing. It's dimly lit and warm. There is soothing music playing. It was a nice way to start the day. The infrared sauna was also very nice. The sauna is located in a private room so when you book it you have it all to yourself. I didn't know there was a color therapy option on it though until the very end of the session but it was still enjoyable nonetheless. A pitcher of spa water was provided so I could hydrate during that part of the session. My one bit of constructive criticism, the floor of the sauna needs to be cleaned. It was very dusty and hairy. Next it was time for the steam shower. The front desk associate who I had been working with told me "All three knobs have to be on for it to work." Simple enough, or so I thought. I enter the steam shower, expecting just steam. There is a digital on/off switch which I hit. I see three knobs. There is no indicator of which is on or off though. So I turn them all and proceed to be blasted with cold water from every angle. I nearly hit the ceiling! I turned the knobs off as quickly as possible. The chamber began to fill with steam. Once that was figured out, it turned out to be a great experience. For $60, this was a great way to spend 3 hours. I left feeling invigorated. I am sure to return to The Spa at Traditions.

My masseuse, Stacy May, was very professional, very dedicated and goes beyond the required service to make it a great experience. They have options with the kind of oil they can use, so I went with the classic: lavender. She asked me if there were any particular areas she should concentrate on and made sure they were given extra attention during the massage. In addition, she made sure it was a full body massage by giving each part enough time to relax your entire body. Although it was a 60 minute massage, she went on for an additional 10 minutes just so I could get the complete experience. We were staying at the inn so it was highly convenient for us to just go back up to our room after the massage to take a shower. I would totally recommend this place to anyone looking for a good massage as I'm sure the place won't fail to impress you.
