Japanese Baths at Pembroke Springs Retreat

In Japan, no daily ritual is more uniquely important to a person’s well being than the bath at the end of the day.  The ofuro has been used by the Japanese for centuries to alleviate both physical and spiritual maladies.  This ancient technique of immersion in hot water takes away tensions and stress, soothes muscular pains, and stimulates the blood’s circulation.  Due to its ability to increase the quality of one’s life and health, this oriental bathing tradition has been gaining popularity in the U.S.

Pembroke Springs has two large Japanese baths.

  • We are not a spa, but we are proud to have authentic Japanese baths.
  • The mountain water is heated to 104 degrees.

  • Bathing suits are not permitted, as they carry soap into the baths.
  • As in Japan, guests wash outside the bath first and then immerse.
  • Children who are not toilet trained are not permitted in the baths.

We have two separate baths, and they are reserved at a time that you request when you check in. Most of the time, the baths are reserved per couple or per family.

However, if we have a group booking the retreat, they may request women on one side, and men on the other.

Stay Safe Staying Inn

Due to the Coronavirus/COVID-19 pandemic, we have reopened as a vacation home rental. We have instituted the following  changes to our policies and procedures for the protection of our Guests and staff:

* We are accepting one group booking of all 5 rooms (10 Guests) for 2 or 3 nights for weekends. For smaller groups, a mid-week package is available, please see the reservations page for rates and availability.

* There will be no cleaning service during a Guest stay.

* The use of face masks is required per Virginia’s guidelines. We request that all Guests are wearing masks should staff be needed.

* We ask that Guests wash their hands when entering the building and Guests rooms. Hand sanitizer and disinfecting wipes are placed in each common area.

* If the pandemic forces Pembroke Springs Retreat to close, the deposit will be held as a credit for future use. As before, deposits are not refundable.
