Stowe Village Massage: The Health Club

Prior to the opening of Stowe Village Massage on Depot Street in Stowe, Vermont, all massages for the Green Mountain Inn were performed in the Health Club. These rooms are still put to regular use, as they are popular with guests who would like direct access to the sauna and Jacuzzi.

As part of the Green Mountain Inn, our Health Club entrance

is beautifully maintained year-round. To access these rooms,
visit the Inn’s front desk to receive a pass card.

Access to the massage rooms, sauna and Jacuzzi is through the locker rooms,
where you will find complementary linens, showers and locker space.

Our first massage room is a cozy, warmly lit space with ample
changing room. We offer complementary robes for our clients
who wish to use the facilities before or after their massages.

Our second massage room is in the rear of our facilities and 

offers a quiet, serene atmosphere conducive to total relaxation.

Our sauna and Jacuzzi are perfect after long days of hiking, biking 

and skiing, and can be used before or after your massage.

We hope you have enjoyed your tour of the wonderful facilities available to guests of Stowe Village Massage and the Green Mountain Inn. We invite you to contact us for more information, or to book a massage.

Stowe Village Massage: A Tour

Welcome to Stowe Village Massage. We pride ourselves on offering a cozy, inviting space that will let you relax and enjoy your time with us. Please join us on a quick tour of our facilities.

When you first enter the massage center, you'll be in our Lobby, where one 

of our certified Massage Therapists will greet you and walk you through 

the brief check-in process.

From the lobby, you'll be escorted to one of our three massage rooms. 

Room One is right off the lobby and features two front facing windows.

Massage Room Two is just down the hall to the right. It is a cozy little room

that catches the afternoon light beautifully in the summer months.

Massage Room Three is down the hall a bit further, and one 

of the rooms where we perform stone massage.

Our final treatment room is Room Four, our couple's room. We perform 

stone massage in this room and offer couple's stone massage for those 

who want the ultimate relaxation experience.

For our clients who come to us straight from a workout or have events they need 

to attend after our services, we offer a small shower for their convenience.

Thanks for joining us on a brief tour of our wonderful facilities. Please stop by if you would like an in-person tour or would like to set up an appointment. In our next post, we will feature a tour of our facilities located in the Green Mountain Inn's health club.

Welcome to Stowe Village Massage!

We will use this venue to bring you the latest news and events for Stowe Village Massage, the Green Mountain Inn, and the greater Stowe area. We plan to post a couple times a month, so be sure to bookmark us and to follow us on Facebook and Twitter for all of the latest updates. Please feel free to visit our website regularly.

Stowe Village Massage is a wellness center devoted to massage. We offer a variety of massage treatments, including relaxation, stone massage, deep tissue and sports massage. Please check out our full menu of services.

Stowe Village massage is affiliated with the Green Mountain Inn in the beautiful village of Stowe, Vermont. We started out with two lovely rooms next to the sauna and hot tub in the Inn's health club. Now, we have our very own building with three individual treatment rooms and one room reserved for couple's massages. We are open seven days a week, 365 days a year. Our hours are 9am until 7pm.

Each of our therapists brings their own specialties and expertise to the table, enabling us to offer you an unique, personalized experience. Over the coming months, we will post profiles and pictures of each therapist.

Because we are located in the Village, we are a quick and easy walk from the Green Mountain Inn, restaurants and shopping. We always accommodate walk-in appointments whenever possible, so feel free to visit us and make an appointment. Over the summer, look for one of our therapists offering outdoor chair massages under on of the trees in our front yard, or poolside at the Inn.

In addition to introducing you to each of our therapists, we will give you a "tour" of our facilities, keep you informed regarding the latest in massage and bodywork research, and even explain treatments and alternative healing practices you may have heard of but never quite understood.
