仙台周辺の温泉を探して辿り着きました。一人旅専用プランがあるので、おひとりさまも歓迎されてる感がウレシイです。建物はレトロな雰囲気なのですが、館内はリニューアルされたばかりなのでしょうか、客室もお食事会場もとてもキレイでした！また、お食事はとても美味しく、ボリュームもありました。大浴場は大理石風呂と展望風呂の２箇所箇あります。展望風呂には露天風呂がありました。あと、貸切露天風呂が２つ。１つは空いてれば、予約なしで誰でも入れます。もう１つは有料の予約制でした。せっかくなので全部のお風呂に入らせていただきました。他にもウェルカムドリンクや食後にラウンジのドリンクサービスもあります。チェックアウトの際にはお土産にホテルメイドのクロワッサンまでいただきました。そして、チェックインの際にチェックアウト後の予定を聞かれたのですが、ニッカの醸造所の見学会を予約していることを伝えるとニッカまで送迎してくださいました！サービスもコスパも◎！機会があったら、また伺いたいです。

大自然を感じながらくつろげるホテル♨️ 綺麗な空気の中で入る温泉は至福の時間でした！天候にも恵まれました！特別室の桜花は茶室をパウダールームにリメイクした女性に嬉しいお部屋です！晩御飯はフレンチと和食が合わさった健康に優しい絶品料理をいただけました！お肉もお刺身もフレンチも一度に楽しめて大満足でした😋 温泉は1階と4階にあり、貸切露天風呂が2つあります！源泉掛け流しで鳳鳴の湯は無料で入れ雰囲気抜群です♨️ 阿吽の湯は有料予約先着順ですが、ここもおしゃれで木の温もりを感じる特別な空間でした！昼と夜のラウンジはまた別の雰囲気でチェックイン後と夜ご飯の後に無料でドリンクをいただけます！女将さんの丁寧で優しい接客も最高でした😊

日帰りにて利用させていただきました。温泉としては作並のらしさのある、湯冷めしにくい感があります。貸し切りの温泉もあるようですが、日帰りでは四階大浴場、並びに露天風呂となりますが十分です。自然に囲まれており、全方位開放的な景色の建物であり、落ち着いて過ごせますね。あとは、えらくレトロなファミコンが恐らく遊べます。
