Is it possible to have side-by-side nail treatments in Out of the Woods Spa?
Out of the Woods spa only has one salon room, which is spacious enough for one person to have their nails manicured comfortably, but too small for side-by-side nail treatments. You can treat yourself to a solo 60-minute manicure or pedicure, which includes not only buffing and polishing, but massage, botanical soaks, masks and aromatherapy using sandalwood, lavender, myrrh, lemongrass, lime and rose geranium essential oils. If you want someone to chat with while you relax, you're better off booking an in-room massage-the spa therapists will come to your room and perform side-by-side massages in front of your room’s fireplace. -

What kinds of salon treatments are offered at Out of the Woods Spa?
Though Out of the Woods Spa at Twin Farms resort is tiny, with only two treatment rooms, it does have a small room dedicated to salon treatments. To pretty up your palms, go for a Rejuvenating Manicure, or beautify your feet with The Foot Spa pedicure. Both are 60 minutes in length and offer either a mask for your hands while you're having your toes done, or a mask for your feet while your fingers are buffed and polished. The Summer Fresh Pedicure, offered in season, works refreshing grapefruit, lemongrass and rosemary aromatics into your treatment. Sugaring, a method of hair removal that is said to last several weeks longer than waxing, is also available.
Basic hair services are also offered at the salon, including shampoos, cuts, blow-dries, setting and styling. Of course, nothing is really “basic” at Out of the Woods. All hair services include a scalp, neck and shoulder massage, as well as a mask for your hands. -

What unique treatments are available at Out of the Woods Spa?
Each treatment offered at the Out of the Woods spa at Twin Farms resort is unique in its composition and application of creams, lotions and potions. However, for something truly unique that you’re unlikely to find elsewhere, splurge with the spa’s signature UBT, or Ultimate Body Treatment. Beginning with a complete body brush followed by an application of Dead Sea salts, you will be thoroughly buffed and polished before hopping into a hydrotherapy tub. While relaxing in the warm water, your body will be gently massaged by the hydro jets while your therapist provides a gentleneck, shoulders, arm and leg massage. Next is a seaweed body wrap; while you let the mud take effect, your face and scalp are massaged into a complete state of relaxation using the delicious Comfort Rescue Cream, a blend of bergamont, lavender and evening primrose. After washing off the excess mud in another quick rain-shower, your treatment will end with a complete body massage using the exclusive body contour cream

What kind of massages are offered at Out of the Woods Spa?
Like all of the treatments at Out of the Woods spa, the massages are custom-designed using all-natural products from Arcania Apothecary in London. They incorporate great-smelling botanicals, adding a nice element of aromatherapy for further relaxation. The spa offers 60 or 90-minute massages for in-room appointments, or you can head down to the spa for a wider variety of options. Many treatments blend massage with other services such as scrubs and masks for a more unique experience-which means you won’t have to choose between which to do. One such comprehensive treatment is Back in Action, which, as the name suggests, focuses on the back with a scrub, mask and massage. Frankincense, rose and palmarosa essential oils help you relax and regulate excess oil without any harsh chemicals or artificial ingredients. -

What are the five best treatments at Out of the Woods Spa?
The treatment menu at Out of the Woods Spa is designed exclusively for the hotel, meaning each service is completely unique. The refreshingly compact list doesn't offer a ton of options-just eight spa services and five salon treatments-but each is something that can't be experienced at any other spa. Here are our picks for the five must-try treatments at Out of the Woods:
1. Book the three-part express treatment Downright Spruced Up, which freshens up your whole body in just 90 minutes. An exfoliating rub is followed by a massage using Soothe, the spa's blend of sandalwood, orange, ginger and chamomile oil that warms up your muscles and promotes circulation. Next, you'll have a facial, and finally a maintenance manicure that leave hands pretty and polished.
2. Some of the treatments at Out of the Woods are inspired by the seasons. One such service is the Winter Soul Soother, a full body service consisting of a gentle dry-brushing, body exfoliation, a full body massage and a warming honey and mango body mask whose sweet summery scent will help you forget the snow outside.
3. The Evening Primrose Body Treatment is a soothing solution for dry or sun-damaged skin. This 90-minute service begins with a body brushing and exfoliation, followed by an application of warmed Evening Primrose Cream and a light cotton gauze wrap. While the cream repairs your skin, you're treated to a scalp and foot massage, followed by a full-body massage after the wrap comes off.
4. An exfoliating salt body scrub helps brighten up dull winter skin with dry-brushing, exfoliation and a hydrotherapy massage that uses a blend of mineral salts and pure essential oils. By the end, your skin will be soft, smooth and ready for spring.
5. We think no one should leave this Vermont spa without trying its signature service, the Ultimate Body Treatment, known by regulars simply as the “UBT”. Over an hour and a half of bliss begin with a body brush and Dead Sea salt exfoliation that sloughs off all your dead skin cells. Next, you'll rinse off and slip into the hydrotherapy tub where you'll be simultaneously massaged by jets of water and the expert hands of your therapists. You'll then have a seaweed body wrap and a face and scalp massage, after which you'll rinse off one last time to remove the mud and finally be treated to a full body massage using a relaxing grapefruit and juniper-scented cream. -

What is the interior design of Out of the Woods Spa?
The interior of Out of the Woods Spa is designed with a palette of charming, muted colors: soothing cream, blue and green tones blend in with the thick trees and plants surrounding the spa, promoting a sense of peace and tranquility. Art pieces hang all over the walls in the waiting room, our favorite being a picture of a dog sitting meditatively on the end of a diving board, surveying a body of water. Two armchairs and a sofa in the waiting area comfortably seat four people, plenty of room for this small Vermont spa with only two treatment rooms.
The changing rooms have open-style lockers with hooks for your belongings, and pretty mosaic tiles in the showers that have an iridescent quality to them. High quality stone and tile is also used in the treatment rooms, which have a cave-like feel thanks to the lack of windows, though they are perhaps better lit than most caverns. -

Does Out of the Woods Spa offer couples treatments?
If you want to receive a couples treatment from the professional therapists at Out of the Woods Spa, you can do so by booking an in-room massage. This Vermont spa is too small to accommodate side-by-side massages in its two treatment rooms, but there is plenty of space in the guest rooms and cottages where you can unwind with a customized treatment with a partner or friend. Be sure to call ahead, as in-room slots tend to fill up quickly. And don't worry about missing out on the spa's serene ambiance: a warm glow from the room's fireplace makes for the perfect setting for a relaxing massage. -

What refreshments are provided at Out of the Woods Spa?
Out of the Woods Spa provides plenty of drinks to keep you hydrated before or after a treatment, from chilled and room temperature bottled water, to icy sodas and juices and a selection of teas from Harney and Sons. If you're not done with your drink when it's time for your massage, the Vermont spa will give you a to-go cup to take into the treatment room with you. The spa is located right underneath Twin Farms' pub, so if you're craving something you don't see in the waiting room, staff are more than happy to pop upstairs and grab it for you. The pub features a fully-stocked bar that’s also a good spot for a post-treatment aperitif. -

What are the locker rooms like at Out of the Woods Spa?
You’ll want to leave your valuables behind in your private room or cottage when you come for a treatment at the Out of the Woods Spa at Twin Farms resort, because the spa does not have lockers. Rather, you have access to a small changing room which is stocked with “open” style locker equipped with 3 hooks upon which you can store your belongings. Though the spa traffic is fairly quiet and the facility is available to resort residents only, you may be more comfortable withprized belongings stowed in your room. Or do as we did and bring your jewelry into the treatment room; the therapist will provide a small dish in which to store everything.
