Spa services provided
at new Walden facility
With the completion last spring of Spa Walden, a luxury series of spa services and therapies now can be incorporated into a visit to Walden County Inn and Stables.
Adjacent to the only AAA 5-Diamond inn in Ohio, and nestled in the 32-acre private grounds are the stables, golf and country club and Spa Walden.
A separate spa entrance leads to the salon office. Appointments for manicures and pedicures, facials, massages, wraps, scrubs and salon hair treatments are available.
The spa is the creative genius of Bonnie Barenholtz, who with her husband Manny, researched Japanese trends, visited spa destinations and developed the 12-suite spa resort.
Spa director is Jenessee Taylor, who had worked at a spa in Orange County, Calif.
The spa is open for appointments from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. Tuesdays to Saturdays and 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Sundays. For details, call 330-995-9772.
