Heartland Spa is not the most luxurious spa but my goal of destressing was certainly accomplished. It is is an older property that needs to be updated. But, you are out in the country so it's very peaceful. The food is decent and healthy (on our 1st visit we were very impressed with the food; this time it was just... More

I enjoyed my stay at the Heartland and am very much looking forward to a return visit. The classes/talks offered are beneficial to people of all ages and the staff really takes time to answer questions. The food is delicious and healthy, and the kitchen is more than willing to accommodate dietary needs. I love the idea of a spa... More

I am amazed that the Heartland Spa can consistently deliver personal, quality services to their guests. Once again, the week end was packed with an abundant selection of fun fitness classes designed to challenge the group at beginning to high level fitness levels. I tried Zumba for the first time in a nonthreatening environment and enjoyed the energy and music... More

I've always wanted to go to the Heartland, but it seemed quite pricy, so when a double take deal came along, I jumped on it! I only stayed over one night for a girls trip and it was fantastic! Fitness classes were excellent (cardio blast, bosu, and fit ball); instructors were energetic, especially Ginny. Food was healthy and tasty. We... More

We're really pleased that you were able to take advantage of our Double Take Deal. We offer great value and a one night stay is the perfect way to check us out. 3 and 5 night packages are even better, call our office to find out about special savings on those packages. Did you sign up for our newsletter? Everyone... More

The people that work at the heartland spa were all very kind, however the facility was very run down. I traveled with my daughter for what I thought would be a weekend of luxury. I paid $100 extra each night for the "best "room. 2 light bulbs were out, the hair blower was broke, the chairs had ripped fabric, the... More

Thank you for letting us know about your recent experience. To quote our rates page ”Our Estate room offers a little more space and a little luxury!” over our standard and Manor rooms, and that the Country Manor (the main house) is “quaintly decorated with a rustic country charm”. We are not a luxury resort, and strive to represent the... More

I received a gift certificate from my husband and scheduled a day of pampering at the Heartland Spa. I had a wonderfully relaxing experience for a 4 hour stay. I will definitely plan a weekend retreat with my husband and enjoy the special treatment together. A very professional atmosphere and personal attention to my comfort. I would recommend this spa...

Please thank your husband for being a Heartland Ambassador. We’re very happy to hear you enjoyed your visit with us, and look forward to your next visit with your husband. While the majority of our guests are women, we’ve learned over the years that men enjoy the pampering and massage services as much as anyone. Our fitness classes and instructors... More

On Saturday, March 17th, 2012, I was invited to present a program on stress management to the guests at the Heartland Spa. I can not say enough about how wonderful the experience was.

First of all, thank you for adding to the Heartland Spa experience. Guest speakers like you, offer their wisdom, experience and insights to our guests every week. This enhances the mind, body, and spirit focus that we’ve been promoting for almost 30 years. The “Wood Room” is one of my favorite spaces at the Heartland, and it’s even better when... More

I recently spent a weekend at The Heartland Spa, my fourth time there, and it was exactly the jump-start I needed for the new year. The food was fantastic, as always, and the portion sizes help me to not go overboard and eat too much---there were plenty of healthy snacks available so you never have to feel hungry. In fact,...

We love repeat guests, and jump-starting your year is definitely the way to go. People can always sample our recipes online, but the cookbook has so much more. Thanks for noticing the upgraded mattress, and your room tip about the tunnel is perfect for inclement weather in any season. We look forward to your next visit. More

I've been to Heartland Spa a number of times with a good friend. There are endless ways to make your weekend whatever you want it to be. I like to "get away" and take advantage of the excellent massage therapists (I usually get a Swedish massage) and a "Spa Manicure" which involves dipping your hands into a parafin bath which... More
