Last month for my birthday Mr. DH took me on an overnight trip just 40 minutes down the road to the Inn at Walden. We had an amazing evening in our huge suite which had a fireplace and two powder rooms! The next morning I was pampered at their spa and it was incredible. I have been to spas around the country and bar none, Spa Walden is the best I have ever experienced!
I was taken to my own private spa suite. {The spa suite shown here is a couple’s suite. Mine was similar except I did not have a fireplace, only 1 massage table, and my tub was a different style.} This is where I would stay. There was no going to a locker room to get undressed or sharing a whirlpool with other ladies, as I have done in Las Vegas and Scottsdale. No, my spa suite at Walden was my own private Shangri-La. It had a steam shower, massage table, vanity, bathroom, and an amazing day bed built into the window.
I loved every minute of my two-hour experience. It was simply incredible and at the top of my, “What I love about Spa Walden Best” was the indulgent Kohler Purist Bubblemassage tub with chromatherapy! This tub is amazing. In my suite I had a free-standing oval tub, not a drop-in version.
When my attendant brought me into the room they were running me a sea salt bath and I thought the tub was overflowing as the water seemed to be going right over the edge! The attendant didn’t seem worried, she just walked over and turned the water off. She left me to enjoy this wonderful spa room – I would have 30 minutes before my massage and an additional 30 minutes after my massage.
As I took a closer look at the tub, I discovered that it was kind of like a disappearing edge pool. It was ringed by an overflow channel on the outside of the bathing tub/well so water could appear to overflow but not be pouring out on the floor. I had never seen anything like it and I immediately fell head over heels in love!
Sadly, I did not have my camera so I don’t have a photo of my tub, but here is one from the Kohler site. It’s not exactly like mine, but you’ll get the idea. The tub is ”designed to provide a complete and balanced air experience that is truly customizable.”
It has a “variable-speed motor with an integral heater delivers a range of water treatments, from light bubbling to revitalizing massage, while 122 innovative airjets are precisely positioned to completely embrace you with bubbling water. Zones of Control at both ends and the midsection of the bath allow you complete control of the massage location and chromatherapy lighting relaxes mind and body with a full spectrum of color that washes over you.”
I felt like I had snuck into an episode of the show, “Lifestyles of the rich and famous” {except I am middle-class and anonymous!} I’m going back at the end of the month {they had a deal going if I booked an appointment for April that day} and plan to get a snap of the tub!
The 36-hours we were at Walden were truly a blessing – thank you Mr. DH for such a wonderful experience. Ladies, if any of you want a pampered get away, I highly recommend Spa Walden. It’s a treat to be sure, but worth it!
