The Sundara Inn & Spa in Wisconsin Dells, WI

Have you ever wanted to visit one of those posh spas that Oprah and the other stars talk about? Well recently, I (just an everyday woman) had the pleasure of visiting the Sundara Inn & Spa in Wisconsin Dells, Wisconsin. This spa is just a few hours drive from the Chicago area. The Sundara Inn & Spa offers a vacation of relaxation, seclusion and a time for reflection and study/meditation.

Our Arrival
Upon arrival we called the Sundara office as we had been told that a complimentary car would pick us up at the Amtrak station. They were very prompt and courteous in coming to pick us up. After we loaded our things in the car, the driver immediately began to tell us what to expect on our visit. I was pretty disappointed initially because the town looked quite dead and all of the restaurants and activities closed. The driver explained that it was the "off season", but if we'd come back in the summer the town would be buzzing. I thought for a minute that we'd made a mistake in choosing this spa, that is until we arrived at the facility. When we pulled up to the front door I was so excited! It was late in the evening and still some of the guests were swimming in the "hot springs" pool and others in the hot tub. From the car I could also see the reading room which overlooked the pool. I just couldn't wait to get in there and relax.

When checking in we were directed to a small office area which appeared to be the concierge area. There we were asked to sign "service forms" with us answering some basic health questions. It didn't take long for my husband and I to figure out that this was standard procedure to market more of their "spa services", but that was okay. We just decided to stick with the services that came with the package.
