Cedar Creek Spa & Salon
Set within an 18,000-square-foot sanctuary in the Ozarks, Cedar Creek Spa & Salon invites resort guests and the public to slow down, reset, and reconnect. The spa features 11 treatment rooms, each with its own fireplace, plus a grand double staircase and calming spaces designed for quiet restoration. Before or after a booked massage, body treatment, or facial, guests ages 16 and over may enjoy spa amenities including the indoor grotto pool, ice room, saunas, steam rooms, hot spas, and private open-air showers. The salon welcomes all ages, with select parent-and-child services available by appointment.
Spa Treatment & Rituals
Choose from relaxation massage, therapeutic massage, a Swedish 30-minute massage, or the featured Cedar Creek Signature Massage, which blends relaxation techniques with hot compressions. Body care includes a renewing body glow and a contouring body wrap, while facial options and prenatal massage are recommended for expecting guests, as body treatments are not available during pregnancy. Spa guests with a massage, body treatment, or facial booked that day may access the grotto pool and spa amenities.
