The mantra at our new Linden Spa is the ‘Botanical Art of Wellness.’  The treatments are influenced by the natural surroundings of the Inn and the majestic Chesapeake Bay.  The relaxation room features botanical prints; many of which are used in the treatments at the spa.

Our treatment rooms feature Latin names such as Myrica (Bayberry), Aloysia (Lemon Verbena) and Ilex (Holly Tree), all rooted in the mission of the Linden Spa.  As a sanctuary for rejuvenation and relaxation, every guest that enters will feel their senses renewed.

From the ‘Linden Ritual,’ where Linden flowers, Black Birch, Eucalyptus and Rosemary lift your toxins away to the ‘Seven Flowers Solace’ that will moisturize and balance your dermal layers; The Linden Spa promises to become your favorite spa experience.

The spa is named for the row of Linden trees that line the brick driveway leading to this luxurious romantic getaway, these trees were initially brought here from Europe by early settlers. The white to light yellow blooms of these exquisite trees were coveted for their beauty, medicinal purposes and strong appeal to bees, thus providing a sweet harvest of honey and ample candlewax.

The 6,000 square foot spa is built in the same Colonial style of architecture as The Inn at Perry Cabin and is sure to be a sought after retreat.  A palate of cream, browns and blues accented with botanical prints and pressed flowers harvested from the Inn’s lush grounds set the tone.
