The last mile is gravel.

Take it at fifteen. The road is maintained and any car will do it, but it is washboarded in summer and there is a blind curve about halfway along with a cattle grid just past it.

From Olympia

US 101 north to the Black Lake Boulevard exit, then west and south for about fourteen miles. The road narrows twice and changes name once, which it does not warn you about. When you pass the volunteer fire station on your right you have two and a half miles left.

The turning is a break in the treeline on the left with a wooden marker about the size of a mailbox. There is no sign on the road and there never has been. If you reach the second bridge you have gone about half a mile too far.

From Seattle

I-5 south to Olympia and then as above. Ninety minutes without traffic and a good deal more between three and six on a Friday. If you are coming for a sixty-minute treatment, consider the full afternoon instead; three hours of driving for one hour on a table is a strange shape of day and people regret it.

The last mile

Gravel, maintained, and fine for any car including a low one. Fifteen miles an hour is right. There is a blind left-hand curve about halfway and a cattle grid immediately after it, which is where every dropped exhaust in six years has happened.

Phone signal stops at the second cattle grid. If somebody needs to reach you, the landline at the desk is (360) 555-0155 and we will come and find you.

Parking

Gravel apron in front of the building, room for about fourteen cars, never full on a weekday. On a Saturday afternoon it can be, and the overflow is the flat ground fifty yards back up the road on the right.

Where is Stillwater Day Spa?

8853 Black River Road, about eighteen miles west of Olympia at the edge of Capitol Forest. Thirty-five minutes from town and ninety from Seattle.

Do I need a four-wheel drive to get to Stillwater?

No. The last mile is maintained gravel and any car will do it at fifteen miles an hour. There is a blind curve with a cattle grid just after it, which is the only thing to watch for.

Is there phone signal at Stillwater?

It stops at the second cattle grid. The landline at the desk is (360) 555-0155 and if somebody needs to reach you we will come and find you.

What are Stillwater’s hours?

Tuesday to Sunday, ten to seven. Closed Monday. By appointment only, with about a week’s notice on a weekday and two to three weeks for a Saturday.

Fifteen, on the gravel.

And if you reach the second bridge you have gone half a mile too far. Ring the desk if you are lost.
