Rooted in the Northwoods: Two New Services at The Spa at Grand View Lodge

By Laura Krohn, MPH
Director of The Spa at Grand View Lodge

For over a century, Grand View Lodge has celebrated the healing power of nature. Generations have gathered beneath the pines, along the shoreline, and under the vast Northwoods sky. They have come to breathe deeply, rest fully, and reconnect with what matters most. As stewards of this remarkable place, Grand View Lodge honors the relationship between the body and the natural world. This reverence is woven into every stay, every season, and every moment beside the lake.

Here, wellness begins with the landscape itself. The Northwoods forests fill the air with the freshness of pine. This invites the body to slow with each breath. The stillness of Gull Lake reflects the expansive sky above, creating a rare sense of spaciousness. This environment is grounding yet freeing, restorative yet awakening. Forest, water, warmth, and silence work together, gently guiding us back toward balance.

The Spa at Grand View Lodge will soon introduce a renewed expression of well-being. This elevated sanctuary is inspired by the healing rhythms of nature. It is rooted in the timeless spirit of the Northwoods. At the heart of this evolution are two new services thoughtfully designed to deepen that connection.

New Service at The Spa at Grand View Lodge: The Cryo Pure Forest Facial by Eminence Organics

Inspired by the restorative essence of the forest, The Cryo Pure Forest Facial by Eminence Organics soothes stressed skin while creating a deeply grounding sensory experience. Rich botanicals and cooling elements calm the complexion, support the skin barrier, and encourage a refreshed appearance. Throughout the treatment, intentional touch and nature-inspired rituals invite the mind to settle while replenishing the skin.

This facial is more than a treatment; it is a moment of quiet renewal. Guests can feel refreshed, restored, and reconnected to their natural selves. The soothing ingredients used in this facial reflect the serenity of the Northwoods. The treatment is designed to embrace the unique healing properties of the surroundings, engaging clients in a peaceful and restorative experience.

New Service at The Spa at Grand View Lodge: The Thermal Destress Massage

Drawing inspiration from the gentle rhythm of lake waters, The Thermal Destress Massage is a deeply meditative experience. It quiets the mind and softens tension. The treatment begins with a grounding mindfulness intention. It then moves into slow, rhythmic massage techniques. Ashwagandha and Stone Crop botanicals are paired with warm oils, cream, and stones, enveloping the body in comforting warmth. Calming touch and thoughtful pacing encourage the nervous system to settle.

Every element of this massage supports a sense of release, from the first grounding breath to the final moments of stillness. Guests are invited to surrender to the tranquility that surrounds them. The Thermal Destress Massage is a celebration of the natural world and its ability to restore the spirit.

A Place to Return to Yourself

At The Spa at Grand View Lodge, guests are encouraged to move at a gentler pace. Whether arriving in solitude, as a couple, or as part of a meaningful gathering, the serene environment welcomes all. Steam rooms, saunas, hot tubs, and relaxation lounges create spaces to linger before or after treatments. Therapeutic experiences draw upon the restorative qualities of warmth, water, botanicals, touch, and quiet.

Here, true restoration does not come from doing more. It comes from returning to what has always been here: the wisdom of the forest, the stillness of the lake, and the healing power of breath, water, warmth, and time.

These two new services are more than just additions to a spa menu. They are part of the ongoing story of Grand View Lodge—a renewed expression of well-being rooted in the understanding that reconnecting with nature allows us to reconnect with ourselves. The unique atmosphere at The Spa at Grand View Lodge offers guests a chance to escape the distractions of daily life.
