This past weekend we went to dinner down the road from the Walden, our friends we were meeting drove by and said have you ever been to The Barn it looks cool we should stop after and get a drink. After dinner we enter the Barn and were greeted by a man at the podium to the restaurant and I said " Hi we have never been here before we would just like to relax and have a drink." He said go right ahead into the bar no other questions were asked. There was plenty of areas to sit and accommodate 4 people. We went into the bar looked at the drink menu, proceeded to order our drinks the bartender was very kind and began making them. When all of a sudden some extremely rude women came from behind the bar and said what is your member number??? We were stunned we said we don't have one and she immediately said then you must leave, no other explanation. The poor sweet bartender was astonished as she was already making our drinks. The problem in this situation is first off we should have never been able to go to the bar and something should have been asked of us at the door when we were greeted by the kind gentleman if we were members. Secondly, we were going to spend money, so what is the issue when there was no one in the bar. Thirdly, what if I was interested in joining this club or had someone considering it, would they be able to experience it, how would you treat them. This is not the way to treat people, you should be more welcoming when people are interested in your establishment. Maybe consider asking people when they enter if they are a member, this would have changed the whole situation and also have the woman that came out from behind the bar be a...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreYou know how anytime you read reviews or get recommendations you never know if itās going to live up to your expectations? Spa Walden deserves more than 5 stars. From the customer service to beautiful grounds to the personal suite with a jacuzzi, steam room, bathroom, shower, and massage table. Everything was beyond what I expected. It is pricey but you get what you pay for. Donna and Derrick were both phenomenal with deep tissue massages. My best friend had the 90 minute massage and scrub and her skin felt like a baby. We all felt so pampered. There was chocolate, tea, plenty of water, and other amenities (hair dryer, toiletries including razor and shaving cream). A complimentary beverage is also provided at the start of service to promote the ultimate relaxation experience. I would highly recommend this place to anyone who is looking for a special treat for a wedding, bachelorette, anniversary, or birthday. Best spa in Ohio! Iāve had a lot of experiences and this was the most comprehensive Iāve seen. The only concerns I had was it was difficult to reach the spa. But if you left a voicemail, they always got back to you. The other suggestion I have is to update how to get there on Google maps. I drove past it. You have to turn when you see signs for the inn and then turn right. All the way at the end is the spa. Towels, socks, and robes are provided. There is a phone in the room so you can ask questions. They also call you 5 minutes before your therapist comes into the...

The spa itself is beautiful. Very tranquil. I love how the treatment rooms are arranged. Jacuzzi tubs and steam showers are in the rooms along with the treatment tables. So, guests stay in one room for their spa services. Your aestheticians and massage therapists come to you.
You also have use of the spa tub and/or steam shower for a half hour prior to the service and for another half hour after your service/treatment. In addition, the spa provides dark chocolate, tea & other thoughtful amenities for their guests.
It is a beautiful spa that takes advantage of the natural beauty found in Aurora and Hudson. The atmosphere is incredibly serene (which is what you seek in a spa) with well chosen and trained staff. Uncluttered decor which helps one clear the mind. They are accommodating of food allergies. (Thank you!)
Depending on where you live, it is a bit of a hike. Please, take the time to visit. It is...
