Long ago, a hot springs boiled out of the earth in the Sangre de Christo Mountains of northern New Mexico. The Pueblo Indians gathered to experience the healings that occurred in the hot mineral waters. The hot springs finally dried up, and the Spanish colonists settled, building a church at the old hot springs site. Healings continued, and the red earth in the floor of the church was said to contain powerful healing properties. Today many people travel to the village of Chimayo for healings, rest, and rejuvenation.

First time experiencing the sensory deprivation. After i was able to relax my entire body just released. It helped with my anxiety and it kind of reset my internal clock. For weeks I've been staying up till 3 or 5am. After this experience, ive been to bed by 11 and waking up well rested at a decent hour. The staff is friendly and its a relaxing place.

This place was amazing from booking, to payment. My girlfriend is a massage therapist and is crazy picky about her massages, and this is the first place in Humboldt that she said she'd go back to! Shout out to Leah I joined for a sauna after and again everything was just so well done. I will be highly be recommending them in the future

Nice establishment, I am not sure that the staff working there were happy to be there, no smiles at all. Every experience is different and I am sure that they have many happy customers. My experience was not pleasant, one day after and two days after and a week after my left side has gone from no discomfort or issues to having pain on may pinky finger, shoulder and left side of my left hand.
I used their floating bath after one hour massage. It was disappointing. I was floating therefore wet and that room small space didn't have any heat thus the parts of my body floating out if the water were cold, no bueno. I will not come back and will not pass on referrals to my friends and family.

Fantastic people work here. The overnight accomidations will short circuit any mortal confusion life may dish out. In a life that is temporary, this is the kind of place you will not regret emersion. Get the massage, take the sauna or hot tub, and share the bliss whenever oppertunity lends itsself. This place is blussful.

Used to love this place. It has gotten pretty run down in the last year. As soon as i walked inside, I found a dog terd on the stairs that leads up to the guest room. Then, the room wasn't very clean. Sticky rings and crumbs on kitchen counter, dirty bathroom floor, used towel wadded up on bathroom shelf, crumbs in the chairs by the window, spots on the mirror, hair in the sink, and funny smell in the room. patio area had clothes and towels from previous guests, hot tub area was really unkempt and dirty. Felt like no one had cleaned in months.

This review is for the guest room and sauna and massage package. We came here last January for my boyfriend's birthday. The sauna was great, and the massages were outstanding! My only complaint for the guest room is that the bed could have been more comfortable. I will definitely come back for other services, but not to spend the night. Overall it was a great experience!

I had such a wonderful massage here after being referred by a couple of my friends who are regulars. I believe it was Leah? that was my massage therapist (it's been a couple months now). She was very kind, and being in the beauty/service industry myself I was VERY pleased she was willing to stay until 5:30 to fit me in that day. Their prices were better then most places & I loved the atmosphere inside.
I will never go anywhere else for a massage after trying them. I was a little nervous when I pulled up because it does seem to be in an awkward location, but once I stepped inside I had zero doubts! Try them out!

Went here for a sauan/couple's massage experience with my boyfriend and loved it! When we pulled up I was a little worried because it's in a pretty sketchy town, but once you get inside the decor is beautiful and cozy. The sauna is in a private room with a shower (soap and shampoo included). After the sauna we went in a big room with pretty decor and lots of plants.
At first it seemed a bit too bright, but it ended up not bothering me. The massage was THE BEST. I felt like my masseuse really found my problem areas and focused on them. It was so good I was almost drooling! Would highly recommend.

This review is of the guest room. Wish our travels had allowed time to use the spa! But we were on a tight schedule, and had to be on the road pretty early. The guest room is upstairs of the spa and has the nice feel of being at home - not your usual hotel/motel or casino accommodation. Interesting and eclectic and met our needs. We liked that it is right across the street from the Logger Bar - where we know the proprietress. We definitely will stay here again if our travels bring us by here.

Review of the guest room, not spa. Visited our daughter and she set us up for the night here. Room is upstairs above spa, more like a studio apartment with a Murphy bed and a loft sleeping area. It's warm and spacious with a little stocked kitchen, nice DVD library, lots of natural light. Spa was closed but we used the outside perfect-for-2 sized hot tub, private with nice mood lighting.
Neighborhood bar across the street, cafe on the corner. Great place to stay if you 'd rather have a relaxed quiet, homey feel rather than a populated cookie cutter hotel room.

We rented the guest quarters for three days and received the full spa treatment. Everything was wonderful. The people are friendly and professional, the facilities are beautiful and well-maintained, and the studio apartment (with skylights and outdoor hot tub) made for a dream vacation. Located in a quiet and friendly town just 5 miles outside of Arcata. We spent the days hiking the redwoods and seeing the coastal towns, and were happy to come "home" to Chumayo. Highly recommended.

I had the best massage of my life at Chumayo with Katie this weekend! I had the one hour standard massage but it was not standard. Katie is intuitive, gifted and down to earth. I made a phone call immediately following my massage and I had no consonants I was so relaxed :- My body felt good for days after. This is a serene space with excellent therapists and reasonable prices. I highly recommend Chumayo and especially Katie if you are in the Humboldt County area.

From the outside, this is just another building in Blue Lake, but once inside, Chumayo Spa's high desert-esque vortices elevate and integrate your body and soul's consciousness. The staff is keenly attuned and heart-centered, and the energy here resonates at a high vibration. The epsom salt floatation pools are an amazing way to connect to your inner universe, deepening the mind-body experience. This space is a true well-spring of healing and expansion for this community and humanity at large!
