Let me take you back because this right here might've been one of the coolest, most unexpected…read morenights of my life. So I roll up to Onsen Hourly Hot Tub & Sauna Rentals like a man who's got it all figured out swimsuit on, towel in hand, probably standing there like I'm about to give a safety briefing. I open that door... and instantly realize I am wildly overdressed for the occasion. Steam hanging in the air, candles flickering like we're in some low-budget romance film, and not a single person concerned with formalities. Just laughter, music, and that free-spirited, slightly janky charm of 30 years ago when nobody cared if things matched they just cared if it felt right. And those girls? Oh, they clocked me immediately. You could see it in their faces half amusement, half "we're about to fix this situation." There's some playful teasing, a little splashing, and next thing you know, I'm being coaxed into the tub like it's some kind of initiation ritual. I'm pretending to resist, holding onto what little dignity I had left, but let's be honest that ship had already sailed the second I walked in dressed like a lifeguard at a party that clearly didn't need one. Before long, it turns into full-blown chaos in the best way. People laughing, trying to pull me into the water, glow sticks getting tossed in like we accidentally invented a neon hot tub rave, candles lining the edges, and yeah someone passes around a little herb like it's part of the ceremony. It wasn't fancy, it wasn't polished heck, it was a little rough around the edges but that's what made it perfect. It felt real. Like one of those nights you couldn't plan if you tried. And somewhere in all that between the laughter, the steam, and me finally giving in and joining the madness I remember thinking, this right here is something I'm never gonna forget. Not because it was wild, but because it was genuine. Pure, unfiltered fun with zero pretense. What blows my mind is coming back all these years later... and realizing you can still tap into that same energy. Maybe you're a little older, maybe a little wiser (debatable), but the spirit of the place is still there. The hot water, the open air, the freedom to unwind your own way responsibly, of course but still with that same spark that made it special in the first place. Some places change. Some places lose their magic. This one? Still got it.

Dirty and Loud It was extremely loud. I asked staff multiple…read moretimes to turn down their 1980s rock music but they kept saying I wouldn't hear it in the room, wouldn't hear it over the water jets, and they said they couldn't turn it down. Even in a private room with the door closed, it doesn't help because of the open-air ceiling. Even with water jets on and earplugs, I could still hear their music. It was a busy evening. I suspect they played music this loud to mask the people having sex in their hot tub next to us. A clear health violation. It would have been better to address that problem to prevent that rather than try to cover it up. Because the person I originally went with wanted to go back to an onsen, I wanted to see if there was a way to avoid this experience if I returned. I called staff, left messages, asked questions about this experience and asked to speak with the manager. Because I left messages and emailed and never was contacted by the owner/manager, I can see they have bad customer experience. I was really disgusted by the experience. I will never go back. I reported them to the Oregon Health authority for pools. Oregon Health Authority (OHA): You can contact them at pool.safety@oha.oregon.gov or 971-673-0440.

I did some research before booking and found Brita Rogers. My mom has been talking about her session for days. She had a Reiki massage and a foot treatment (reflexology), and she said she felt completely relaxed, calm, and restored afterward. She kept mentioning how peaceful the environment felt and how grounding Brita's energy was. Coming from someone who gets regular treatments in New York, that says a lot. She even told me the reflexology was better than what she receives back home. My mom isn't someone who writes reviews, so I'm doing it for her. She visits every 3-4 months and already scheduled her next appointment with Brita before she left. Thank you for taking such good care of my mom and making her feel nurtured. It meant a lot to me to give her that experience while she was here.

This review is specifically about the sauna. There was no one there to greet me or show me what to…read moredo when I got there. I arrived 10 minutes before my appointment time, and a couple of minutes after my appointment time was supposed to start, I started looking around to try to figure out where the sauna was. I found there was a door to the outside and a sign I was supposed to hang on it to indicate that the sauna was in use. So I went through that backyard and there was a little fenced off backyard area. Presumably this place is private and reserved for you during your appointment time. There were some hooks where I could hang my stuff. Then there was a foot path leading to the sauna. The sauna itself was already warmed up. It was big enough to hold two seated people side-by-side. The experience of the sauna itself was fine, I was in there for about 20 minutes and felt decent after I was done. Next, I went to try to shower. That was when I discovered that the foot path has a lot of broken glass, which is a little disconcerting if you are in bare feet. I would definitely bring flip-flops or shower shoes if you come here. I also found that the handle to the shower didn't produce any water, and figured out that I had to clamber under a tree and across some wet leaves to turn on the hose. The water was so cold I couldn't do more than rinse off super quickly. When I left, there still was nobody there. Soon after I got an email with my invoice/charge. The place inside has a nice relaxing vibe. I have not tried the massages so I can't speak to that. I might try it again, but I would probably come on a warmer day and definitely with some shower shoes.

Alright...it's been 2.5 months since the installation of our sauna and now ready to tell others on…read morethe ledge about pulling the trigger. Always been active, have own home gym and hot tub already, been wanting a sauna for years but didn't really have the room for any type of inside sauna. So my wife and I would always venture to sauna places on vacations (Archmedies Banya in SF, HAVN in Victoria BC, Connect Wellness Vancouver) and we're even using ONSEN in Eugene 2-3 times a week at 40 bucks a pop. Wife and I ventured out west 11th to Cedar Works to take a look. Walk in and see the Northstar traditional steam 5x7 outdoor steam sauna. Price somewhere around $15,000 delivered and installed (minus electrician cost). The inside design was perfect for us, top bench long enough for me (6'3") to lay down with room to spare. Staff was patient and informative leaving me with enough information to be potentially shrink my bank account by 15,000. 2-3 days pass by and I decide to try and pull the trigger. I email them asking if there was any type of left over home show discount or "bald, blue eye discount." Get a response knocking off a couple hundred using the "bald/blue eye discount" if I come down and purchase it today. Get down there quickly as to not miss the "bald/blue eye discount" and pay for it. Install in our backyard scheduled for sept 16-17th. In the couple weeks of waiting (think waiting to open Xmas presents as a kid or waiting to turn 16 to get your license, seemed like it took for freakin ever!) wife and I cleared the area and followed the advice of laying down 3 pressure treated 4x4's for the sauna to be installed on. Electrician recommended by Cedar Works contacted us and came out prior to give an estimate which was around $1700. He was great to work with and knew his job! Install day arrives, the dudes show up and do their thing and the second day while they are finished up, the electrician shows up and does his thing. All of the sudden it's done! We used it that night and every night we have been home since, sometimes multiple times a day. The sauna comes bare wood so stain is recommended to be done asap. Cedar Works recommended Cabot's timber oil and the wife went to work staining. She did an awesome job! Experience: Quality of the sauna is incredible, use is easy, especially with the app, heats up quickly, we keep it at the max temp which is 194. Daily+ use for the last 2.5 months and the sauna has performed perfectly! Cedar Works experience: Down to earth, friendly, and knowledgeable. Price was actually cheaper than I saw online for the exact same model without installation. The installation crew knew exactly what they were doing and worked fast and efficient. Electrician did quality work making the 220 line coming from the breaker box as invisible as possible . So, if you are on the fence trying to decide what kind of sauna, where it could be placed (inside or outside) you gotta pay Cedar Works a visit. I am very glad I did! It's an investment, but it's for your health and quality of life which is worth the investmen. Thanks Cedar Works! Probably have to visit you guy's again when we decide to replace our hot tub.

Make no mistake, this is still very much a Man's gym…read more My best girlfriend had been going to the Y, taking classes, fully participating in activities offered, etc. for quite some time and had convinced me to go with her and try her gym. We did a brief tour and went into the lapswim pool, after 15minutes we combined and split a lane to help accommodate the new people coming in. 45 minutes into our mindful movement/isolation exercises we were approached by pair of younger men who had been watching our lane and were asked to move over to the next lane because "they couldn't swim the way they wanted to" in that lane. My friend obliged, and we moved over and continued with our routine. When we swam by the lifeguard who had watched the exchange, my friend asked her for clarification on what made the end lane special and why we were asked to move. The lifeguard informed us that we were now in the walking aerobic lane, which did not permit lane swimming- which we had been doing, and that the men shouldn't have asked us to leave our lane, essentially booting us from the equiptment we were using. We weren't done with our workouts. My friend asked why we were then asked to exit our lane, and the lifeguard called for a higher authority on her walkie-talkie. We exited the walking lane and after a moment a woman who had been speaking to the lifeguard approached us and introduced herself as the Aquadic Director, she asked us to explain what happened. And after reiterating the same story the lifeguard had told her, she explained to us that the only other option the pair of men would have had was to join our lane and circulate swim with us. We didn't have an issue with that. We asked who has priority to equipment and were told it was a first-come-first-serve system. Rather than elbowing our way back into our lane with two men that outsized us, we decided to end our gym experience early but my friend told the director that she wanted those rules explained to the offending guys, and that's where the problem lied. This woman had an immediate hesitation and began stammering on how she didn't want to escalate the situation by bothering them if we were going to leave. My friend insisted it was the principle of the matter, and that if the gym didn't have a priority list than the same set of rules should be followed by all paying patrons. The Aquadic Director had absolutely zero interest in approaching the pair of men who asked us to move for them and after a moment of back and forth between her and my friend, I calmly said, "This is bullshit." This gave the Aquadic Director the out she needed and she quickly turned the conversation to lecture me on how profanity isn't accepted on the pool deck. We were three adult women without a child in sight, having a conversation amongst ourselves, but I told her I understood and was on my way out. I returned to the locker room, showered and changed, and met back up with my friend who I left by the poolside to continue with the Aquadic Director, who did reluctantly have a brief conversation with the two guys at the insistence of my friend. As we were leaving the locker room a male employee pulled my friend aside and said that the Aquadic Director wanted to have another conversation. We told him that was fine, but we weren't going to have it in the locker room shower hall, and moved it to the lobby. We waited for the Aquadic Director in the lobby of the Y for no less than 5 minutes, zero appearance. My friend told the male employee that the locker rooms were not an appropriate place to ambush two women into conversation, and that in the future exiting members will most likely by found by the exit. The employee, Carson, said we weren't in the locker room, even though we were surrounded by lockers and a bay of showers when he stopped us from leaving. He literally turned his back to us mid conversation to instead pace up and down the hall and speak with another employee. After an interrupted workout, staff's unwillingness to address gym issues, an ambush in the locker room, and literally having employees turn their backs to us after being asked to wait to speak with them- we left. It was quite the mental workout, if nothing else. Needless to say, the Younge Men's Christian Association is still very much a male centered gym, when they have Women and Colored's events we may be inclined to try to lapswim again, but in the meantime I'd advise againt recommending this place to a wider demographic. I'm sorry my friend wasted her visitors' pass on me, but I think this experience was enough to decide membership dues on.

Our 2nd stop in Oregon was at a clothing optional resort called The Willamettans ("The Willies" for…read moreshort). Even though it's clothing optional, most people were nude. It's the largest resort we've visited and reminded us the most of our home resort in Florida (Lake Como). There are many amenities including tennis, pickleball, shuffleboard and volleyball courts, the latter of which sadly aren't used. We've found it interesting that grass & sand volleyball aren't a popular activity out west like it is at mid-west and Eastern nudist resorts. Most hadn't even heard of "Super Bowl" (the large volleyball tournament in PA at White Thorn Lodge Nudist Resort each Labor Day...or the southern version at Lake Como in March). Actually, many hadn't even heard of Lake Como...it's been a wonderful journey telling people about the resorts in Florida and learning about all the well-known resorts out this way. The Willies boasts a large, pristine pool area with beautiful sunning decks. I love sunning and looking out at the fir trees and mountains...a common loveliness of these Pacific NW resorts! There is a nice little playground right outside the pool fence. The hot tub is enclosed and adjacent to the pool. Their large rec hall (which they call their Lodge) connects them all & offers enclosed showers & bathroom, though the outdoor pool showers were artistic & welcoming. The Lodge had the best stock of games & puzzles, a foosball & ping pong table, a coffee station, and a great array of comfy couches. This is one of a few central common areas in the resort. Another area just a little walk from the pool area houses their "Full Moon Saloon" bar & dance hall, an incredibly stocked craft room, a small merchandise store (The Bun), and a large, comfortable shower house. Plus, their cafe & snack shack are right across from the bar, offering a pretty nice fare on the weekends (there aren't snacks for sale or a community kitchen area during the week here, but there is a microwave and fridge for common use at the Lodge...and the rooms have small ones, too.) Other common areas include the dog park, trails, & sports area (as mentioned above). Near the office is their AANR-NW Library which is a treasure trove of photos, artifacts, and books about the resorts in this area. The Willies recently hosted the AANR-NW annual conference and built a really cool "Bridge to the Future" commemorating each resort or club in this region on a plaque (picture included). We had the pleasure of getting a tour from a couple of board members. They don't normally allow photos at this resort but they gave us permission & accompanied us, sharing so much about it. I was touched & impressed with their active involvement in not only their own resort, but also the greater community. They donate pounds of food every year and sponsor a local HS scholarship. The whole place is a volunteer-based co-op...everyone is asked to pitch in with the work and maintenance needed to keep the resort a premier place to live & visit. There were chore bulletin board that everyone uses to know what needs done. They were especially proud of a new project in the resort to be better stewards of the environment through a comprehensive recycling program. It is very obvious of the care and love they and the residents & members take here. You could feel it! Their landscaping was so pretty, flower beds are scattered across the grounds, and volunteers were seen working on repairs and maintenance. They have removed many old "bunkies" (cabins or RV rentals) and upgraded them. One particular one looked like a top-notch hotel room with modern decor and fresh paint & flooring. We love "rustic" but it's nice to see "well-kept rustic"! The RV spaces were the best we've seen...many have a nice patch of grass and they're all well laid out. Same with the tent spaces...each is nestled in a little wooded area of its own. We loved the social vibe of The Willies. They host an event once a month. There are lots of pictures of past events and it is apparent the fun had here. They do themed events where costumes are encouraged. Recent Alice in Wonderland and Roaring 20's party pictures were on display. We enjoyed the Wednesday night karaoke. We were on to our next resort before this weekend's Neon Glow 70's themed dance. Their biggest event is their annual Rennaissance Fair in September. We are sad we won't be in the area to participate in that. This is a place we will definitely revisit! I can see many summers spent here. The weather is perfection (not too dry, not too humid), the people were friendly, and the grounds & amenities were amazing.
