Birdwing Spa

Over the past sixteen years, Birdwing Spa has hosted guests wishing to make permanent health changes. Birdwing's "Life Enhancement" program offers everything needed to start on the road to a healthy life: a 1:1 consultation with myself (Spa Director), a comprehensive lifestyle assessment including a nutritional and body composition analysis, educational presentations, nutritionally balanced meals, hands-on cooking demonstrations (such as "Soy Secrets"), and daily fitness activities. Guests will go home with a comprehensive program in hand and the encouragement and confidence to be successful.

Birdwing's cuisine has been featured in national magazines for its low-calorie simplicity and delectability. By design, each meal is balanced to meet the Food Pyramid guidelines. To encourage a healthy lifestyle at home, we offer hands-on cooking classes and a spa cookbook with original Birdwing recipes and a complete nutritional analysis.

Recent national trends suggest people looking to outdoor activity as a more enjoyable approach to exercise. Once the site of a "Disney" movie, Birdwing's grounds are incomparable with 2 1/2 miles of private lakeshore, 15 miles of scenic trail woodland trails and 35 acres of restored prairie grasses and flowers. In addition to hosting abundant wildlife, the property lends itself to a variety of outdoor activities, guided biking, canoeing, hiking and water exercise in the new outdoor pool. During the winter season, guests enjoy cross-country skiing and snowshoeing on 20 kilometers of trails. Birdwing Spa also offers fitness classes regardless of the season: Low impact and step aerobics, kick and cardio box, circuit and interval fitness, yoga, flexaballs, strength training, meditation, tai chi and relaxation classes.

To compliment our guests' stay, each will receive wonderful pampering services daily. In our "Image Salon", guests choose from an extensive menu such as massages, facials, algae treatments, body polishes, herbal wraps, manicures, pedicures, reflexology and other specialized treatments. Guests find rejuvenating activities followed by attentive pampering simply an indulgent way to complete each day.

Our long-term rates for a single guest in a private standard room are $1,475 for the first week, less 10% the second week and less 15% the duration of the stay. A standard service charge of 15% is added the total package. We also offer deluxe accommodations (Jacuzzi Barn Suites) in a recently restored early 1900's vintage barn. There is typically a one-time charge for the services and programs included with the Life Enhancement package of $100. However, this $100 charge would be waived as a special offer for visitors of About's Spa Site. We are located just 70 miles west of the Minneapolis/St. Paul airport and offer roundtrip shuttle for a minimal charge.
