Awesome spa and a grand old hotel
This is a beautiful hotel in the grand old style with verandas overlooking the grounds and a view of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Rooms are comfortable, food is great, but the spa is out of this world. It is a subterranean haven that seems carved out of rock with waterfalls, fountains, and pools. Large co-ed central indoor pool with thermal spas and massaging waterfalls - you could spend the day in here. Men's and women's areas offer whirlpools, saunas, and treatment rooms where you can choose the music, lighting, etc. After treatments, they escort you to a candlelit lounge with fountains, music, chaise lounges, and cozy blankets and offer you a tonic of your choice. Didn't ever want to leave.
