Natural Retreats Announces New Ways to Experience Hot Springs Virginia
Charlottesville, VA (PRWEB) September 10, 2013 -- Over the past year, opportunities for families, couples and sportsmen to experience Hot Springs, Virginia, have expanded considerably.
The new offerings are the work of a British company with a long track record in world class hospitality. Soon after Natural Retreats moved its global headquarters to neighboring Charlottesville, an immediate priority became redefining the experience that the natural beauty and strong local community of Hot Springs could offer.
Providing affordable, authentic, sporting and luxurious getaways within driving distance of Washington, Richmond and other major cities, Natural Retreats now provides dozens of new options for those seeking to enjoy the area on their own terms and with a more personalized feel.
The result is a "choose your own adventure" destination embedded within the local culture, providing myriad options regarding accommodations, guided outdoor adventure, and personal concierge services. Perhaps best of all for the next generation of visitors to the region, many of the homes and cottages are dog-friendly.
Natural Retreats is steadily growing its footprint in the United States - also including the renowned South Fork Lodge on the Snake River in Idaho, and soon to be announced Rocky Mountain skiing, Alaska heli-fishing, and Florida sportfishing destinations. Its track record runs deep in the UK and Ireland with 10 retreats, many of which involved multi-million dollar renovations.
Two themes provide a uniting foundation across all the properties. The first is a Concierge Service included in each stay - with no surcharges and no detail to small. The second is the concept of "A way of life in a natural world." Each retreat is set in a stunning environment that provides significant opportunity for physical and mental immersion in the great outdoors.
There are three key pieces of the Hot Springs puzzle outlined below - accommodation, outfitters, and personal concierge services.
