    Tranquil setting in the cedar
    Jan M.

    I highly recommend adding Tahoe Forest Baths to your itinerary while in Tahoe! My sisters and I always like doing spa and other unique things on our sister weekends, so we booked this for Sunday morning, and while we weren't sure what to expect, we are always game for something new. First, the space is clean, new and has a tranquil, yet bright vibe. We were greeted and we were told how the morning would go. After changing into disposable undergarments, we put on robes and headed to the lounge area. We again got more information about the baths and the benefits of the cedar bath. We then were given a little elixir drink, which my sisters enjoyed and I did not. So, to each her own, you may or may not like that fermented liquid. I did it like a shot - as I wanted whatever benefit it had, it just wasn't my cup of tea :) Next, we went into the baths, and we were glad all three of us could fit in one. Once we were all settled into the cedar and covered, we had 20 minutes of quiet serenity. The temperature was very nice and warm, and the feeling was very relaxing. You get 20 minutes, and that was just right. You definitely start to sweat, and they do provide cold towels for your forehead. Once you get out of the cedar, you use a unique brush to remove the cedar that stuck to your body, leaving you smooth and exfoliated! Loved it! After showering, we got dressed and went to lunch. You feel calm and grounded after the treatment. It's hard to explain how it feels, but it is excellent. Here is the kicker - they say the baths will help drain your lymphatic system. Sounds good to me, but what transpired for me overnight was stunning. I did have to get up several times to go the bathroom, and I hadn't had that much liquid to drink that evening, so it seemed unusual. But, when I woke up in the morning, I swear my waistline was 2 inches smaller and my abdomen looked tighter and I was so much less bloated! I have to attribute this to the cedar bath, nothing else I did was different that day or night. I will definitely come back when I'm in the area - it will be on my must do list!

    This is definitely a great experience, I'm always on the lookout to try new self care things and this was definitely worth a try! You essentially get buried in the hot cedar so if you're sensitive about weight on you and not being able to move around freely this probably isn't for you but if you don't mind and you have a good heat tolerance this is absolutely relaxing! I just wish the treatment was long because it is pretty pricey for the time you get but still well worth it.

    What a great unique experience. My husband and I did this as a great way to start our anniversary. The place is decorated super cute but more importantly VERY CLEAN ! I highly recommend. This would be something fun to do with a group of friends.

    I am very happy that I found this place-it was such a wonderfully unique and amazing transformative experience! The entire session was so calming, healing, peaceful, and restorativeIt felt like I was lovingly encapsulated in a magical warm weighted blanket while lying in a gravitational stateStaff Member-Kirsten, was absolutely outstanding and phenomenal! She went above & beyond to ensure that I had the most exceptionally rejuvenating and relaxing experience!I will definitely book another appointment with Kirsten when I am visiting Lake Tahoe again!!!

    In the cedar bath!

    My sister and I were recommended here by the concierge at the hotel where we were staying. The space was very clean and relaxing, and everything smelled SO GOOD. The customer service was also excellent--the entire process of the cedar bath service was very clearly explained, and we were reassured through every stage, which made it easy to just relax and enjoy the benefits. I felt amazing after the detox and will definitely be back.

    What an amazing experience, from the moment you walk in the calm music washes over you and you take in the aroma of cedar. We signed our waiver and were given a tour of the changing room, lounge )with amazing Lake Tahoe views), cedar enzyme bath and showers. Tim explained the long history of the Japanese cedar baths, while we drank electrolytes, and a honey tasting Japanese drink of fermented veggies. We were asked our heat tolerance- mine is medium so my "seat" in the bath was more shallow. From the moment I sat in down I could feel my muscles automatically relax, I was covered with a light layer of cedar. It was an amazing feeling of floating and being hugged! During our bath we received a cool forehead compress, then an ice compress and again cool cloth. I didn't experience the same last minutes of more intense heat as my friend whom had a higher heat tolerance and was given a "deeper seat". After we rinsed off, put robes on and met in the lounge for some oxygen- a great way to end this service. We walked away relaxed and energized! We both loved Tahoe cedar bath, can't wait to return and definitely recommend this experience!

    Best experience in Tahoe!! I would definitely recommend this to everyone who visits the Lake Tahoe area and locals. I felt so smooth and relaxed after this! My back feels much better. I was not claustrophobic at all, but a feeling of comfort. The spa is absolutely gorgeous, with views of Lake Tahoe.

    I am a repeat customer to Tahoe Forest Baths, I love the relaxing experience. Every time I leave, it leaves me feeling energized with a great detox, it also helps me sleep regularly throughout the week. It also makes my skin feel. Super soft and glowing. The staff is always super friendly, and the spa is super clean. I enjoy looking out the window in the cool down room, and seeing the view of Lake Tahoe. I would definitely recommend anyone in the Tahoe-Reno area to try this experience. It's great for a couples, relaxation, or going with your girlfriend or even by yourself.

    What a treat! We wanted to try something new and fun during our weekend away in Tahoe and we have no regrets choosing Tahoe Forest Baths. Tim was so thoughtful and informative around the benefits of cedar and it's therapeutic purposes! Before you enter the bath, you'll be offered a drink called Super Ohtaka, which is a fermented enzyme drink consisting of 50 fruits and veggies. Once you finish the drink, he will help create the bath for you and help find the right temperature for you based on your heat tolerance. Thank you Tim for being so kind during our bath, placing cold towelettes every five minutes on our foreheads and helping us adjust so that we could get the full benefits from the heat. The cedar is naturally warming and would get hot if we moved/adjusted ourselves in anyway (so cool!) The best way I could describe it would be similar to a hot stone massage, but a warm hug. It truly was a fun experience and thank you Tim for the VIP treatment.

    My wife and I visited Tahoe Forest baths in the middle of winter. We normally book massages on our trips but saw this kind and it piqued our interest as we've never done a cedar enzyme bath before. Very unique and relaxing experience! Tim guided us through the whole process and was very warm and welcoming. Left feeling great! Would definitely recommend checking it out!

    Waiting area, very clean and relaxing

    I absolutely loved everything about our couples massage! Sierra might be the best masseuse I have…read moreever had, I got a deep tissue massage and because of her technique, my muscles are relaxed with little to no pain! Normally when I get a deep tissue massage it is extremely painful to get everything out, not this time. I also added on the peppermint scalp massage and was I heaven! My husband got the Swedish massage and said it was great. We grabbed a brochure on the way out for a possible staycation in the future! There are small lockers and robes available but we waited in the lobby and where walked to Our room for the massage where there was lots of space for our clothes and items. Water and teas are available in the lobby and they do have a sauna but we didn't use it. I look forward to trying it next time!

    WARNING TO FUTURE GUESTS: New Management Did Not Honor the Spa Package We Were Sold…read more Extremely Disappointing and Humiliating Experience I rarely leave reviews like this, but our experience with Elements Spa and the lodge where it is located was so upsetting that I feel future guests should know what happened, particularly if you are purchasing a spa package that advertises access to the lodge's private beach. I booked what was advertised as a 90-minute deep-tissue couples massage with access to the lodge's private beach. Because I was traveling with my family, I specifically asked the spa front desk beforehand whether my family could join me at the beach. I was told yes. Had I been told otherwise, we simply would have made different plans. Unfortunately, my massage with "Eddy" was one of the worst spa treatments I have ever received, and I have had many professional massages and spa treatments over the years. We were brought back approximately six minutes after our appointment time. During a significant portion of my treatment, the therapist simply rested his hands on my back while taking deep breaths. The remainder consisted primarily of extremely slow, light rubbing of lotion into my skin. There was virtually nothing I would describe as deep-tissue massage. It genuinely felt as though the goal was to let the 90 minutes pass rather than provide the treatment I had paid for. I questioned if he was even a professional masseuse after the treatment, because it was the most bizarre massage I've ever received. To be fair, my spa partner had a much better experience with Danielle. He described her as "very strong" and said his massage was something he would return for. The facility itself was also disappointing. The spa felt dated and run-down, with old carpeting and dingy, tiny bathrooms, and my massage was performed in what appeared to be an old hotel room. It was nothing like the relaxing or upscale spa experience I expected based on how the package was presented online. But the treatment we received afterward is the reason I am warning other guests. When my family joined me at the beach, as we had specifically been told they could, we were suddenly informed that the new lodge management would not honor what the spa/front desk had told us. Instead of recognizing that there was clearly a communication problem between the spa, front desk, and lodge management, the situation became hostile towards us, the paying customers. The new lodge management appeared to be a Middle Easterners, and specifically told us that they weren't affiliated with the Spa in any way shape or form and did not care what they sold us. We were ultimately escorted off the property while being accused of having "lied." This happened in front of my family and other guests and was incredibly embarrassing and humiliating. There were only four other people on the private beach besides our party of six. We had just spent nearly $500 on spa services and had specifically asked permission before ever bringing our family onto the beach. What makes this even more frustrating is that I personally approached the front desk and even offered to purchase a day pass so there would be absolutely no misunderstanding. I was assured that my family and I could enjoy the beach. I actually tipped the front desk employee because I appreciated what I believed was her helpful customer service. Yet when the new owner became involved, that assurance disappeared, and somehow we became the "liars." If the spa or front desk gave us incorrect information, that was an internal communication issue. Paying guests should not be publicly accused of dishonesty because management and the spa are not on the same page. I was willing to overlook an underwhelming massage. I was willing to overlook an outdated facility. I even tipped well because I don't like making someone feel badly about their work. What I cannot overlook is being told one thing before spending nearly $500, relying on that information, and then being humiliated and treated as though we had done something dishonest. This was supposed to be a relaxing first day of our family vacation in Lake Tahoe. Instead, it became one of the most uncomfortable and humiliating hospitality experiences I have ever had. My warning to future guests: If you are booking Elements Spa because the package includes lodge or private-beach access, get the exact terms in writing before you pay. Based on our experience, what the spa/front desk tells you may not be honored by the new lodge management. I will not return, and after the hostile and unprofessional way our family was treated, I cannot recommend Elements Spa or the lodge where it is located to anyone.

    To be blunt, our experience and the lack of billing transparency at Serenity Spa was a disaster…read more My friend signed up for the Serenity Signature Package for $320 - which included a Signature Facial and the Aromatherapy Massage. Before my friend was going to receive the facial, she was pressured multiple times by the esthetician that she could upgrade to the Pumpkin Peel Facial for an extra $80, to which she agreed to. All of this should have resulted in a $400 dollar charge and a 10% tip for a $440 charge. Somehow Serenity Spa ended up charging her $564.  After explaining the overcharges, the front desk receptionist assured me there were no overcharges. Then after looking further, after intense prompting, she admitted there was a $60 overcharge - she couldn't explain how she came to this number, which was still wrong. After insisting this was the only overcharge, the receptionist refused to address the remaining $60 overcharge and hung up the phone after accusing us of lying, which was incredibly unprofessional and irritating as my friend is an incredibly accomplished and pure hearted person. I'm not at all surprised at the litany of negative reviews about Serenity Spa and I would encourage everyone to steer clear of this place and their questionable, at best, transparency and billing practices.

    Please don't book a spa experience here!…read more I rarely leave negative reviews, but this experience was incredibly disappointing. I'll start with the positives: Alex and Pamela were fantastic. Their massages were excellent, and they were the only reason this review is getting 2 stars instead of 1. The gentleman who greeted us in the hotel lobby was also very kind. Unfortunately, everything else fell far below expectations. My husband and I were celebrating our wedding anniversary and originally hoped to book at Edgewood, but their spa was closed for renovations. We asked for a comparable experience and were referred here. At $170pp, we expected something relaxing and upscale. Our appointments were at 1:00pm, and the spa called the day before to let us know we could arrive early to enjoy the amenities. We arrived at 11:00am and were immediately met with an unfriendly attitude from the front desk. Instead of welcoming us, she seemed irritated that we had arrived early, even though the spa had invited us to do so. The "locker room" was another disappointment: 4 lockers inside what was essentially a bathroom. For a couples spa day, having to change and use the restroom in the same cramped space was awkward and far from the experience we expected. When we grabbed towels from the locker room to head to the pool, we were abruptly told we couldn't use them and had to go to the hotel front desk for separate pool towels and a pool key, while wearing spa robes. The pool area itself was also disappointing. The hot tub had dead flies and wasps floating in it, and the overall setting felt more like a hotel entry area than a peaceful spa retreat. We were told to return 10 min before our treatment, so we came back early. We were then informed our "steam room" was ready. In reality, it was a tiny steam shower with enough room for 1 person to sit...not exactly the couples amenity we had imagined. To top it off, the final price was higher than quoted. We booked at $170 per person but were charged $185 per person, plus a 20% gratuity. We were happy to tip our massage therapists, they earned it, but no one explained the additional charge. For $444 total, this experience felt extremely overpriced and underwhelming. If you're looking for a true spa day, I would strongly recommend booking elsewhere.

    We booked a day pass for the spa to use the amenities which included the hot tub, pool, and steam…read moreroom. We ended up being fully refunded due to the pool and hot tub not working and being very dirty. When I spoke to the manager of the hotel he said "oh.. I thought it was fixed!" The steam room was nice but definitely only for 1. We were looking for to a girls spa experience but 2/3 were out of the question. I appreciate them being willing to refund us.

Rachael definitely has magic hands and she can actually tell what you need by touching you so if you're not sure if you need deep tissue or medium to firm she can tell you. She's great with the cups. The aromatherapy is always amazing. The bed was extra warm today as it was snowing outside and I really appreciated that. I can't wait to come back next month!
