Allison did a really thorough massage for me. It was just the right pressure at all times. She was…read morevery attentive as she listened to me, and she addressed all areas that we discussed. I felt deeply renewed as I left the spa. Thank you Allison! One thing I wish this place had was energy work (reiki, craniosacral, etc) . I think Allison would be amazing at this!

As a psychotherapist practicing here in the Upper Valley, I speak with clients every day about the…read moreimportance of setting firm boundaries, trusting their instincts, and advocating for themselves when their comfort or consent is compromised. I would not be practicing what I preach if I remained silent about my own recent experience as a client.Recently, I had an experience at a local business, Strong House Spa, where clear professional and personal boundaries were crossed during a session. When I brought my serious concerns directly to management and requested a simple refund, my lived experience was dismissed and brushed off, and a refund was refused. While I ultimately chose not to pursue a small claims suit due to the legal complications, costs, and burden of formal paperwork service, holding businesses accountable for how they treat patrons--especially women when they voice discomfort--is vital. We live in a culture where women's experiences and boundaries are too often trivialized or gaslit.Consumers in our community deserve to be treated with safety, respect, and accountability when things go wrong. I am sharing this not out of malice, but to stand firm in my values, support transparent business practices in our region, and remind everyone that your boundaries and lived experiences ALWAYS matter. #UpperValley #CommunityAccountability #WomenSupportingWomen #BoundariesMatter #UpperValleyVT #ConsumerAdvocacy

I went to see Abigail for a facial last fall, the week before my wedding. It was a stressful time…read moreand I almost cancelled the appointment because I felt like I had too much to do, but I am SO GLAD I didn't. It was exactly what I needed to relax and recenter before the weekend. The space Abigail has created is really lovely and calming, and as soon as the facial began I had the feeling of being cared for. Everything felt good and smelled good. And after the treatment, my skin looked brighter and more glowing (exactly what you want for your wedding day!). I left feeling one thousand percent better and so grateful to Abigail for restoring me to myself. I can't recommend her services highly enough.

*Review of the gift shop only*…read more I am in town a few times a year visiting friends and I needed a gift that was specific to the Inn itself, rather than simply Woodstock (which would have been much easier). I stopped in while heading home and found exactly what I needed - a $28 Woodstock Inn t-shirt - and had a lovely chat with Alicia who was working that afternoon. Perfect little gift, great shop with many beautiful items, and Alicia will help you with whatever you need!

I brought my two girls with me and we had three haircuts and I had a full foil-- April is such an amazing colorist, I love the color we ended up with!

The owner, to our surprise, said she would be doing both of us... and proceeded to go back and forth quickly, subsequently doing a sloppy job. She was clearly trying to get us out of there quickly. She then had the audacity to turn the credit card charge point around to me and suggest I leave a larger tip (for her). We are thankful there are other reputable and less greedy salon establishments in the Upper Valley.
