About
Cold Plunge & Sauna
This spa offers a dry cedar sauna located in an open-air courtyard, maintained as a silent space for heat therapy and relaxation. Spa-goers consistently appreciate the quiet, respectful atmosphere of the sauna, which requires towel sitting. The central wellness feature is a salt cell chlorinated hot soaking pool. Guests describe the pool as warm and relaxing, ideal for a soothing soak, though some note the water temperature can feel merely warm and the jets may have limited pressure. The facility is clothing optional and co-ed, with specific silent hours for the pool to enhance the tranquil experience. The simple combination of a warm pool and a sauna is highlighted as a relaxing and enjoyable core offering.
Atmosphere
The spa provides a calm, quiet, and relaxing environment. Guests appreciate the respectful atmosphere, with rules and guidelines clearly communicated. The space features low lighting that is not overwhelming for those with sensitive eyes. The grounds are planted with native plants, adding to the serene setting. The venue hosts dedicated LGBT and BIPOC nights, fostering an inclusive and welcoming community feel that many describe as feeling more like a family of friends than a business.

Additional Amenities
