The 18,000-square-foot Solace Spa — located
inside the Mountain Grand Lodge and Spa
at Boyne Mountain in Boyne Falls, Mich.
— offers resort visitors and skiers a
much-needed rest from the winter chill
with its massage, skin care and salon
treatments. At Boyne Mountain's Swiss-Austrian
ski resort, Solace Spa gives opulence
to even the simplest of spa treatments,
focusing on European style spa relaxation.
Prior to any treatment at Solace, patrons
are encouraged to take part in a traditional
European-style spa experience, which includes
a circuit of warming and cooling cycles
with the spa's whirlpool, saunas, cool
showers, aromatherapy spritzes and towel
steaming.
The treatment preparation is then followed
by a variety of spa treatment options,
many created with a rustic Northern Michigan
appeal. In addition to the typical traditional,
deep tissue and sports massages, Solace
Spa offers indulgent choices including
an hour-long four-hand massage, prenatal
massages and a Petoskey Hot Stone massage
using Michigan-created Petoskey stones.
Those looking for an even more sumptuous
spa experience can opt for one of Solace's
premiere body treatments, which not only
exfoliate a worn body, but cleanse and
hydrate the skin. A patron favorite and
delicious delight is the Hot Toddy for
the Body, a three-step herbal exfoliation,
clay body mask and hydrating massage that
will leave the roughest body soothed
and relaxed.
The expert massage therapists and spa
staff do their best to ensure Solace Spa
is a quiet haven for all those who seek
a quiet afternoon. In addition to its
calming treatments, the spa offers a variety
of other amenities for its patrons. Those
looking for a few beautifying treatments
after spending the afternoon on Boyne
Mountain's sky slopes can slink into Solace
for its salon services including manicures,
pedicures, waxing, hair cuts and coloring.

Following, or prior to, any of these spa
experiences, patrons can enjoy the spa's
fitness facilities and classes, which
include instruction on yoga, Pilates and
more. After exhausting the body, whether
with fitness classes or spa treatments,
Solace visitors are given ample opportunity
to unwind in the Relaxation Room. Clad
with airy, calming-colored lounge furniture
and cool lighting, the still room features
the teas, water and spa snacks patrons
casually enjoy at the end of a long spa
day.
Solace Spa's location makes it a great
relaxation getaway for not only adventure
skiers from Boyne Mountain's resort, but
spa-lovers and massage-loving travelers.
Parents visiting nearby Avalanche Bay
- Boyne Mountain's indoor water park -
can even sneak away to Solace for some
romantic time without the children. The
grand spa, offering everything in luxury
and relaxation is a great way to unwind
for an hour, or that upcoming extra-long
weekend.
