Pave a Pathway to Summer Relaxation with Luxe Accommodations, Spa Treatments and More at Turning Stone

The summer months are a bustling time of year, with children home from school, hectic work schedules and family vacations making the days pass all too fast. August in particular seems to be inundated with parties, events and busy days that can leave even the most grounded person needing a solo vacation.

The good news is that resorts across the region are stepping up to the challenge, providing luxe accommodations and perfect itineraries to ensure guests leave feeling relaxed, rejuvenated and ready to take on the hustle and bustle of life once again. Turning Stone Resort Casino in Verona, N.Y., offers these amenities and more, with unique accommodation packages, exciting activities and soothing amenities readily available.

The prestigious Forbes Four Star-rated Lodge at Turning Stone is an ideal spot for a tranquil, luxurious escape. With spacious rooms, soothing décor and incredible views, The Lodge embodies a sense of calm and peacefulness.

A variety of packages are available to meet any special wishes, including the Romance package for couples, the Drive and Dine for golfers, and the R&R package, for those who want a mix of dining, spa and golf time built into their stay.

Within the Lodge, guests can enjoy a variety of amenities without traveling far, including world-class dining for breakfast and dinner at Wildflowers, a AAA Four Diamond-rated restaurant serving traditional continental cuisine with the freshest ingredients, and the Lodge Lounge, a great place to unwind with a craft cocktail.

Traveling deeper into the Lodge brings guests to Ska:ná: Spa, a luxurious spa inspired by Oneida Indian culture and healing techniques.

Guests looking for a unique, healing spa experience can choose a treatment like the “Sage & White Pine Hot Towel Massage,” a deeply relaxing experience, combining massage, soothing heat and aromatherapy, or the “Standing Stone Herbal Remedy,” which begins with an energizing evergreen and bergamot soak and ends with hydrating jojoba body butter. For those seeking a more modern treatment, Ska:ná: Spa offers completely customizable treatments including massages, acid peels, hair treatments, pedicures and more. The treatments offered go beyond relaxation, providing various health benefits such as soothing aches and pains, improving circulation, boosting immunity, increasing vitality and more.
