    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!

    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!

    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!

    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.

    Waiting area, very clean and relaxing

    Found this place in Yelp and I knew how Cedar bath worked, (I did a sand bath in Japan) so book for a couples bath! Greeted by the owner Tim and he explained how the bath worked. Everything was very organized and clean and the bath experience was excellent! Our bodies feel so light and relaxed! 日本人の方にもお勧めです!タホに来たら是非行ってみて!

Unfortunately, this was not it. During the session, my wife politely asked twice for deeper pressure, and the therapist did not meaningfully adjust. At the end of the massage, when my wife calmly explained that the service provided did not meet the level of deep tissue we paid for and that she was still willing to pay the staff chose to argue with her rather than listen. What made the situation worse was that the therapist was brought to the checkout desk to continue the discussion in front of others, turning an already uncomfortable moment into something awkward and unprofessional. There was no effort to resolve the issue, no acknowledgment of her feedback, and no customer-service mindset. To top it off, a mandatory 20% gratuity was applied despite the service not matching what was advertised or requested. We still paid the gratuity, but the experience left a very bad impression. Massages are supposed to be relaxing. This was anything but. We will not be returning and would not recommend this place to anyone seeking a genuine deep tissue massage or professional customer service.

    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.

    My girlfriend and I coordinated services and Greta provided a wonderful message, the coordinated…read moreservices were not fully aligned but the spa manager did provide an appropriate compensation. It's a beautiful location and the spa to the pool/hot tub is a bit of a chilly walk in a robe, but the ambience once on the other side of the parking lot, is well worth the experience. Construction is underway in the hotel lobby and while not a bother for sound in the spa, it did require a walk around the property to locate the front entrance.

The decor is dated and worn, the private whirlpool was not operable at the time of my visit, and the sauna was literally closet sized. The relaxation room has these chairs that are upholstered in a super itchy fabric, so I went to the only other room with chairs but it is situated next to the salon and you can hear their loud music playing which defeats the spa experience. Oh, and the shower had hair on the soap ledge and the water didn't get hot so that was nice. The waiting room in the treatment area of the spa is better (with snacks and decent seating) but I was unaware of this because the tour given by the attendant ended right outside the door, otherwise I would have hung out there until it was time for my treatments.

They literally took one look at us decided which healer would work on each of us. I got Wendy who asked me "soft, medium, hard, or relaxing?" I said medium hard? She knew EXACTLY what that meant and got that exactly right the whole time. She asked me 2 other questions the entire time. She was DIALED. IN. She took a couple minutes to tactically "survey the scene." She then proceeded to address every knot in my back and every issue I have been having with my back or neck or shoulders in waves for the next 30 minutes. And then she did a mini version of that to my arms and legs. Robert worked on My Love. He never even asked her. He just did the tactical survey and got to the healing. I didn't know this because I was faced down in my massage table, but I could just feel it. Like the first five minutes of this massage was so good I was convinced it was better than anything either of us had ever had before. So when it ended and we got to face each other, I said I just kept hoping and praying that you're a massage was as perfect as my massage because this was Eastern healing! (and I imagined it was better than many to all of our prior massages.) We agreed. It was the best ever. All that plus 1. Not a spa at a casino or resort, so super chill 2. Super (French accent) reasonable 3. Eastern "Healing" vs Western massage degree Masseuses I'd give 'em more stars if I could. Do yourself a favor. We are talking about coming to Lake Tahoe every month just to get this every month. (Wendy not pictured)
