The new Spa at Sage Lodge in Paradise Valley just north of Yellowstone Park offers massage, therapeutic treatments, facials, a sauna and steam room, a hot soaking tub and a top-notch location at the base of the Absaroka mountains.
Through a partnership with Sage Fly Fishing, well-known manufacturer of performance fly fishing equipment, Sage Lodge offers guests specialized fly fishing expeditions and other personalized Montana adventures alongside upscale-rustic accommodations, a gourmet restaurant and grill and the services and the amenities of a therapeutic spa
on the premises.
Sage Lodge concocts their own blend of a sugar scrub for guests of the lodge to use while staying on the property. The scrub, laden with olive oil, is a hydrating hand and body product designed with relaxing and refreshing aromas as well as cleansing properties.
The scrub includes locally-blended Goddess of Spring Primavera essential oils created in Livingston. Sage Lodge has even contracted the Goddess of Spring company to craft a signature scent for the Lodge. Employees of the Lodge held a “smelling party” where they worked together to decide on the essential oil blend that would best personify the Lodge. Both an “a.m.” and “p.m.” blend of the essential oils will be available for purchase exclusively on-site at Sage Lodge.
The Spa also features locally-crafted artisan bath products by SimplyACBoutique in Bozeman and the entire lodge offers loose and bagged Tumbleweed Teas from the women-owned tea company based in Big Timber.
