Stonehedge
Inn - Health Center
Built
nearly ten years after completion of the Stonehedge Inn, this
4,000 square foot health spa is the product of frequent requests
by visitors for a more distinctive experience. The spa combines
an enclosed pool with a retractable screened roof, a hot tub,
complete locker room facilities, massage therapy area, outdoor
entertainment veranda and tennis courts; all part of the most
unique lodging experience north of Boston. Architecturally,
the style is consistent with the Inn, but also includes a few
twists. Large circular windows dominate the exterior façade
of the building, flanking its main entrance. A forty-foot long
sunroom enclosure is sandwiched between the two shingle-style
ends of the building. During the summer season the upper portion
retracts, allowing warm breezes to enter and exit the building.
Through the winter months the roof remains closed allowing guests
to enjoy the facility during even the most harsh New England
weather. The
massage therapy area is found on the second floor overlooking
the pool and provides the private and intimate environment necessary
for long and relaxing sessions. Oak finished locker rooms feature
wood paneled cabinets and secure storage for guests and members
availing themselves of the spa’s range of amenities. Finally,
two tennis courts adjacent to the spa convert into a sheltered
entertainment area, which often serves as an ideal wedding reception
spot on the weekends from late spring to early fall.
