Treat Yourself
Relax, unwind and re-center yourself. It’s tax season, which means that you are probably buried in work, paperwork or a combination of the two. But, it doesn’t have to be tax season for you to treat yourself. It can happen any day of the week, anytime of the year! Fortunately for you, Chatham County is home to many havens, places where you can get your mind off of life’s many stressors. You may find relaxation at the park, at the spa or right in front of the television.
The Spa at Fearrington:
“A humble escape from the rest of the world,” The Spa at Fearrington is the very essence of relaxation. Operated by luxury chain Relais & Châteaux, you’ll experience the highest quality for any of the treatments you book or products you purchase.
