Since my sweet cousin was in town and I was celebrating one year since some pretty intense labour we decided we wanted to go to a Scandinavian style spa. Well, I decided - she'd never been to one before and I was really hoping for a good one. Initially we were planning on going to Scandinave at Tremblant but my neighbour was like 'if you don't want to pay 60$ and you want something with fewer people, check out Le Geyser." And I'm sooooo glad we did, Le Geyser was just perfect for us.
Le Geyser is just 10 minutes past St Jovite, and the map marker on Google is currently wrong so either map from here on Yelp or follow the directions on their website.
Also note: reservations are required. We were able to call and reserve 40min before showing up so I don't think you'll have a problem getting a spot, and I like the idea that the owner is interested in keeping the place peaceful and not overcrowded.
The owner is an awesome woman who welcomed us kindly, a little shy with her English but willing to help my cousin understand the benefits of the infrared spa, the salt water hot tubs, etc. She moved quietly throughout the space while we were there keeping the fire lit and gently checking in - a really comforting presence in this beautiful homey space.
My favourite aspects were the hot sauna, the cold salt water pool with waterfall, sitting by the fire and watching the river through the spectacular autumn leaves.
There is a gorgeous shared kitchen here and 4 rooms for rent so I totally want to organize a tiny getaway here.
The water course is super affordable- 29$ with tax- and the change rooms, showers and relaxation areas were all simple, lovely and completely calm.
I would love to see the hot tubs upgraded someday to be more like the beautiful stone-circled cold pool, less with the foam and plastic, but honestly they were super relaxing, perfect temperature, lovely view.
I look forward to coming back for a massage soon!! read more
