World-Class Spas

Await in the Boone Area

Step into a soothing, sensory, and refined

world of wellness in the High Country of North Carolina.

The “wellness lifestyle” of spa therapy really resonates with today’s active travelers. There’s no better time or place than autumn in the Boone Area to pair the invigorating outdoors with indulgent, refreshing relaxation at world-class destination spas and day resorts.

The Boone Area may be perfect for active outdoor pursuits—but if that’s not your cup of herbal tea—no worries! There's no excuse needed to pamper yourself, your partner, or close friends in the High Country. The Boone Area is increasingly ranked among the nation’s top places to hit the reset button on stress.

Take it from Travel & Leisure. The magazine’s September 2011 “World’s Best Awards” rank Westglow Resort & Spa an impressive second among “Top Destination Spas.” 
 

Spa Guide to the High Country—

Destination Spas
The High Country’s destination spas—Westglow, The Spa at Crestwood, and the Spa at Chetola—are the choice for sophisticated, luxurious settings with soothing services for the body.

Westglow Resort & Spa
A Relais & Chateaux property, Westglow’s accommodations and its fine dining and spa cuisine venue Rowland’s Restaurant are centered in the historic Greek Revival mansion of artist Elliott Daingerfield (1859-1932), “one of the most recognized Southern American painters.”  The resort displays a collection of his works.

Westglow features an extensive menu of spa and salon services for overnight guests and visitors. Fitness and wellness packages offer assessments and options from personal training to lessons in Pilates and tennis. Organized outdoor activities include luxury camping and guided hikes. SpaFinder’s Readers’ Choice awards 2010 named Westglow “Best for Hiking” (as well as “Best Boutique Hotel,” “Best for Cuisine,”and “Best for Romance”). 

Artist Daingerfield’s post-Impressionist paintings “contain a mystic sense of the American landscape”—understandable with the sunset-silhouetted summit of Grandfather Mountain glowing in the west.
