This was hands down one of the best spa experiences I’ve ever had! The wood fired hot tub, cold plunge bath, steam room, sauna were incredible. The space is beautiful and attention to detail creates an environment that makes it so easy to sink in. The owner really goes the extra mile, providing fresh fruit, water, and herbal tea! I could not recommend this place enough. Will definitely be coming back!!

Absolutely amazing!! The reviews are all spot on, this place is incredible. We did the couples retreat with extra time so we had the entire place to ourselves and our host and massage therapist, Lyudmila, was incredible and so kind! Best spa and banya experience we've ever had and we're already planning our next trip there. Wish I could give them more than 5 stars, truly, they are that good!

I have never been to a spa so I was a little intimidated but had a really lovely time. The venik ritual was very relaxing and attendant was super nice and helpful. I will be returning for sure.

My wife and I got the couples package and had a wonderful time. The whole place was extremely clean, and everything we needed was provided (shower, slippers, robe, towels, etc.) The tea and food provided was very good and a nice relaxing break from the saunas/pools. The relaxation area was a great place to unwind as well. Our package came with a massage, and both of us loved it. It was my first time for a massage and it didn't disappoint. Make sure to drink plenty of water beforehand!

Great experience, such a hidden gem in east Portland. 2 hours of bliss and many thoughtful touches. I went with my mom for Mother’s Day but would be great for a bachelorette or couple as well!
