Stormking Spa & Cabins, Ashford (Mt. Ranier), WA
When my husband and I decided to get away from it all in Ashford, the first place we called was Stormking. They didn't have a cabin for us, but we did book a spa appointment. We chose the Lover's Retreat.

Our appointment began with Deborah, the owner, and a deer (yes, a real deer) greeting us at the door (the deer was outside, however). Deborah led us upstairs to a large private room with a bathroom. We changed into the biggest fluffiest robes I've seen at any spa, grabbed towels (again-- so soft and fluffy!) and then Deborah led us outside to the sauna. The sauna was beautifully situated next to a wonderful creek and across from a heavily wooded area. We disrobed and entered the warmth of the steamy sauna. We could hear the creek outside, which added to our relaxation.

When we got back inside (after half an hour in the sauna), we met Becky and Raina, who would be providing our spa services. We started with a salt glow polish for me and a Morroccan mud wrap for him. It was wonderful. Following the wrap and the polish, we each had a divine 1-hour massage. It was absolutely the best! Becky and Raina were attentive and thorough. My husband and I were completely relaxed. We were sad for the session to end; we felt so rejuvenated and refreshed!

Deborah, Becky and Raina were awesome. The facilities were gorgeous and smelled so good. The location was fabulous. I really cannot rave enough about Stormking. We came back from our weekend away, and we told all our friends about Stormking; one friend has already booked an appointment for next week! We plan to be back again, soon! --  Shannon K., May 2005

We Loved it!! Absolutely delightful experience! Muscle tension that had been so painful for months was gone at the end of the 1 hour aromatherapy massage. Rejuvenating, deeply relaxing, we felt cared for and healed. The spa was clean, warm and the massage therapists were experts, professional and kind. We also stayed at Storm King's Raven cabin for the weekend, nestled in the forest with a private hot tub and sweeping forest views. Loved it!! -- Julia K., May 2004

Deborah and Steve are perfect hosts! My husband and I spent our anniversary in the Eagle cabin. It was the perfect getaway. Our hosts had thought of every detail imaginable. We were so impressed with their thoughtfulness and hospitality. We had never been to a spa before or had any treatments. Our experiences with Deborah were amazing. The rooms were gorgeous and well-scented. The treatments were delightful and everything was done in such a way as to put our comfort first! If you are looking for a place to be treated like royalty, without losing the comforts of home, this is it! -- Laurie B., May 2004

My girlfriend and I went to the Stormking for our two year anniversary and stayed in the Bear cabin. It was romantic, private, cozy, and clean. After staying the first night in our cabin, we went to the Stormking Spa. I had Ilee and my girlfriend had Deborah (the owner) for a foot soak/massage, full body massage, and a facial. Both spa rooms were very clean and tranquil and it felt like you wanted to stay there all day. Deborah was the only one available on Sunday but we both wanted services done so she called in Ilee on her day off just to accommodate us! We are definitely coming back for another romantic weekend and the Stormking Spa and Cabins.  -- Kayak and Corina, March 2004
