The physical structure itself is so unusual, that upon entering, you are swiftly but subtly brought into a spiritual dimension, one of warmth and calm serenity. My interest was in the architecture, and the experience brought about in the different spaces--how, for instance, the cozy invitation of the fireplace in the soaring main room with its spiral staircase contrasted with the protected cocoon-like feeling in the spa areas. The relationship of interior space to the outdoors is so skillfully managed, too, that you're immersed in nature, while at the same time feeling completely sheltered.
I came here for the day, arriving in the early morning and leaving late at night. The drive to Prana from Manhattan was beautiful as we left the city and headed into the inviting Connecticut woods. The nearby city of Kent was beautiful, with many shops and restaurants, and as we got closer to Cornwall Bridge, we saw spectacular scenery including a beautiful waterfall. There is a stunning covered bridge in the village and it is very peaceful and quiet.
I arrived for my visit on a beautiful autumn day, just before twilight, after a leisurely drive through the spectacular countryside, and my first glimpse of the "igloo" house glowing through the trees nearly took my breath away. Nestled in the woods, the facility sits like a bluff, belonging just as much to its surroundings as do the lovely old wooden houses in the nearby towns we associate with rural Connecticut.
The Prana Spa is the ideal retreat for unwinding from the stress of living in City. I cannot say enough about this resort. The spa resort offered a tranquil environment that allowed our group of close friends to enjoy good company while rejuvenating the mind and body. We indulged in sauna and massage pampering by day and jacuzzi and fireplace drinking by night. Loved the freedom to combine any number of services to create your own personalized spa getaway. The ambiance, artistic decor, comfortable beds and amazing variety of activities this place offered made our stay absolutely delightful in every way.
The experience well exceeded my expectations. I left looking forward to coming back...maybe a romantic getaway next time!!!
I've stayed at Prana 2 times. It's great place! I'm a "city boy" so I don't get out of New York City often. But it was a great experience! I spent a good while just marveling at how the house looked and the amenities were great (pool, sauna etc.). Also if you just want a place to take it easy with some nice nature and scenery I don't know any other places as serene. Its good in any season, summer or even winter (in hot water with snow outside is something I've never experienced before!) I recommend this place to anyone looking for a getaway or vacation rental 100%!
Great place As Is,
But by far the best part about Prana are the amenities! This place has an indoor pool (heated) where you can actually swim laps; a jacuzzi in the master bedroom, a dry sauna that can seat your whole crew of 6, a cold plunge (after the sauna), and best of all and outdoor hot tub where you can look up and see all the stars--because there is hardly any pollution out here. That was amazing and I will never forget it. It's the amenities that will bring me back here. Definitely check out the photos I posted--it will give you a better picture of the place.
Since I visited, I've intensified my yoga practice, and I look forward to coming back in every season. I think the key words to describe Prana Residence and Spa, for me, would be "calm connectedness," and I'd especially recommend it to anyone seeking to recharge themselves after the stress and bustle of urban life.
Once we arrived at Prana Residence & Spa, I immediately felt relief. I put the hustle and bustle of Manhattan behind me and was happy to relax in this interesting igloo-like structure. Inside it's beautiful with a fireplace to warm us and I flopped on a couch to have some snacks and chill. The view from the window overlooks a woodsy scene, with deer in the distance.
