Editor's Review
Riverside Lodge and Sauna is a hidden gem nestled in Paris, Maine, that offers an incredible escape from the daily grind. Customers rave about the warm, inviting atmosphere created by the family-run business, where you’re treated like one of the family. As Olivia Roth expressed, "the massage room was so relaxing and cozy with a fireplace and the sauna was very cute, tranquil and clean." This cozy retreat offers both sauna and massage services, making it a perfect spot to unwind and recharge after a long week.
Reviewers consistently highlight the exceptional quality of the massages, with many noting special touches like hot stones that are often an added cost elsewhere. Mike Thurlow emphasizes this by saying, "the atmosphere is awesome, and they offer a fantastic couples massage that I highly recommend." It's clear that the dedicated staff, particularly Jennifer and Wendy, create a welcoming environment that keeps customers coming back for more.
While most experiences are glowing, a few guests mentioned the rental fee for towels at $2.00 per person as a slight inconvenience. However, this minor detail hardly detracts from an otherwise stellar experience. Cindi Casko mentioned that the place was clean and comforting, saying, "the fire and tea as we walked through the door" added to the overall charm. Riverside Lodge and Sauna is not just a place to visit; it’s a sanctuary where relaxation and comfort reign supreme.
