Relax with an In-Room Couples Massage at Montford Inn
Wanting to truly veg out during your vacation? Bring relaxation to your door with an in-room couples massage. It’s the easiest way to enjoy a spa in Asheville without having to even leave the comfort of your own room. Sip on a glass of refreshing mineral water, choose between a Swedish or deep tissue massage, relax with a heated shoulder wrap, and sink into rest.
After your massage, if your body wants to just lay low, you can crawl back into the luxurious microfiber sheets of our king beds for a much needed nap. Go with the flow and slow down as you take care of you.

Give your body the wellness boost it needs with a wide range of health benefits – like pain relief, reduced inflammation, strengthened immunity, and stress management – from hot and cold therapy.

Take a Relaxing Soak at Wake Foot Sanctuary
The kind of massage you didn’t know you needed! Step inside the historic Grove Arcade for a mini escape at Wake Foot Sanctuary.

Lounge at the Salt Spa in Asheville
A great wellness respite any time of the year. Relax and recharge in the nature inspired salt cave at Asheville Salt Cave. With 30 tons of pure pink salt, the spa naturally recreates the micro climate of a salt mine and sustains this climate by maintaining the specific temperature and humidity levels found in a naturally occurring cave. The salt in the cave comes from all over the world: from deep in the Polish salt mines, to the Dead Sea, to the Himalayan Mountains, to the Celtic Sea. It is anti-bacterial, uncontaminated by dirt, and is free of toxins and pollutants.
Relax in comfy reclining loungers while ambient music is infused in the space to help you to drift off into your own silent meditation.
