I visited the spa facilities on Wednesday evening this week. It was busy, with close to an even split of men and women, mostly young-ish (20's-40's), all body types and orientations. With one or two exceptions it was all nude use. The vibe was friendly and relaxed - no staring pervs, which surprised me as I expected a few from some of the comments. The basement saunas/showers/steam room felt slightly DIY and unrefined, but they were clean and it kind of lent to the relaxed feel of the place. The hot tub did get a little crowded at times. I enjoyed it and will definitely go again if I pass through Portland. read more

Great amazing spirtual sanctuary where you can truly let your stress & worries dissolve once you are here! People are very nice! I am tight on money but because this place is so amazing I make it work! read more

My wife and I had a very relaxing experience. We thoroughly enjoyed the silent sauna and the salt water outdoor hot tub then dunking in the cold tub. It is clothing optional and we are fine with that. We felt rejuvenated when we left. This place is a gem in the city. A place to get away and heal your body. read more

The perfect getaway in the city. I've been coming here for years now, and they've always made me feel so welcome!! I love the sauna, steam room, cafe snacks and kombucha, and hot tub combination. I highly recommend it and I look forward to checking out more spas with a similar vibe for comparison, though I don't think any exist! read more

A mini oasis in the city. Best spot to unwind/relax! Highly recommend this place and their staff.

Portland's classic hippie-dippie day spa. Imagine that house in the Richmond neighborhood you've always wanted to live in--the one with a big wide porch and the extra-spacious garage. Now imagine a fully accessible walk-in hot tub. Then imagine a bunch of cold water tubs, a steam room, dry sauna, and showers. Everything is oddly early 80s, as if your dad built a bamboo-themed waterpark and your mom added comfy chairs and you could walk around naked in it. And there are wind chimes and kombucha, and maybe some of those Nepalese pillows you see at that one imported store at Clackamas Towen Center. That's Everett House, a Portland institution of wellness. You will be treated with respect here. You will be made to feel like you are welcome. The folks at the front desk have seen every type of body--big ones like me, small ones like your girlfriends. Everyone's seen each other's titties around here. The cool thing is that no one cares. Before you go, here is what you need to know: -They're very much anti-touching, anti-staring: why? Because mind your damn business, that's why. If you're one of those brochachos who have very bad toxic masculinity probs and feel the need to comment or stare at people's bodies, they will tell you to leave. And no one wants you there if you do have those problems. -It is clothing-optional. Yes, I know it's scary being naked in front of people. But like, within five or ten minutes of getting naked no one will care, it will feel natural and normal. It may be a little funny, even. I have had full-on convos with folks in the nude in the hot tub. -BE QUIET. OMG yes, that means shutting up entirely when you're in the sauna. I prefer going to the fully quiet side of Everett just to be still and silent. Literally no one wants to hear about your hipster problems, bro. -They're fat positive and fat affirming. If you have a fat body, people will respect it and affirm it. You will see fat people here, no doubt. That is OK and there is nothing wrong with that. If you don't like it there are a bunch of other spas/saunas that have reductive, minimalist and frankly discriminatory experiences for thin people. -The float tanks are worth it. It doesn't sound appealing, but imagine being in a star-filled cocoon soaking in warm bath water, just alone with your thoughts. -Make sure to take a cold soak immediately after getting out of the hot-tub. Don't do what I did and stay in for thirty minutes, because you'll most likely faint! -Bring a water bottle. No, you don't need to bring your towels. You will need both. -If you're worried about fitting in a towel, don't worry--they have gigantic sarongs you can tie around your body. My only con is that the showers are a little dated. On my last visit the showers were a little low-pressure and I wanted to really get soaked. read more

Very disappointed in this place. I bought my boyfriend a groupon since I'm not familiar with all of Portland and he needed to relax for a very important week, and this place has good reviews on groupon so I wanted him to try out this place and perhaps he would return. Never ever wasting time with this place! Horrible service. My boyfriend had a horrible massage by a man named Andrew. He was not gentle nor applied enough pressure. He mainly used his elbows and not his hands, and instead of gentle massages, he gave my boyfriend up and down streaks with barely no pressure nor comfort. Andrew did not speak nor communicate, nor checked in with my boyfriend during his one hour massage. My boyfriend was vocal at the beginning of the session but Andrew didn't even speak on what he suggested or asked my boyfriend what he would like. A massage therapist is suppose to be vocal, gentle, and relaxing for their clients! I'm glad I didn't pay the full price because I would've been more pissed!! This is unacceptable. When my boyfriend checked in, he expected to be able to relax before the massage at the jacuzzi or sauna but instead was told he had to have the massage first. Not sure if this part was protocol, but they should say it and be more specific in their instructions. read more

Soooo yummy! I went on my birthday. Outside hot tub magic with fire and kombucha in my hand even while it's raining? I want to go back all the time. read more

I was very pleased with the massage and overall ambiance of the center, however, when I got home I noticed two bumps on my lower back, and then on my arm, and then on my legs. I figured that I was having an allergic reaction to the oils or maybe the spa. When all of the bumps started itching I went to the doctor. The first doctor said it might be scabies and gave me a treatment for that. When it didn't go away, I went to a dermatologist who confirmed that it was hot tub folliculitis, which for those that aren't dermatologists that means that there is bacteria in the water and it needs to be treated by antibiotics. I called the center to tell them about it they seemed really unconcerned with the other people that were also there at the same time as me. I'm not sure if anyone else was there last Saturday but if you were I would keep an eye on your skin. read more

I have to agree with Breea G. I tried this place with a Groupon & during my visit with Dr. Mantell I felt like I was in a used car dealership. He kept insisting that I have my husband present during the treatment plan options to ok spending the money for the year & if paying upfront was a problem he gave me payment options! & that's after I told him after getting his diagnosis I'd just use my in-network chiropractic center so insurance could cover some of the cost! The floatation tanks were not for me either. It was very dark & small & I kept thinking I was going to hit my head & therefore couldn't relax. It was a neat experience tho. read more

If I was allowed to give them any stars I would! They don't even deserve one star. This is the worst experience I've ever had. This place is so unorganized that it ruined the start of our vacation. After buying the groupon deal online it took forever to schedule an appointment for my friend & I. Finally we were able to schedule something through email & confirmed that the appointment was all set. Once we got there the lady had said that we were not in the computer for the float tanks. I showed her the email & she had no idea who had been emailing us with the confirmations. She could not fix anything. We are only in Portland for a few days & very short on time. So it's very disappointing to miss out on the float since it would've been our first time trying it! Now we have to deal with getting out refunds through groupon. She also noted that her manager would call us by tonight but we have not received a phone call. Do yourself a favor & find a different place to go! This place is a hassle. read more

So incredibly relaxing. The staff is also excellent and super welcoming. I went on a date here last Winter, which was weird in the best way. The tea/refreshments are meh, but everything else was lovely as hell. read more

I was petrified after coming here. Starting out I was excited to try the Tank out but not long after, that feeling had died out once I caught an older man staring at me in the shower. I felt like I was being watched and turned around to see him staring me down and scanning my body as he backed into the Dry Sauna. I felt disgusted and was distracted my whole float. Not to mention the float felt dirty and old. The staff manager is condescending and rude as well. Overall, I left feeling worse than when I arrived. Dirty perverts and terrible staff Manager. Not okay and never coming back. read more

THE THERAPIST: Upon arriving the place was nice looking and welcoming. My requested therapist had been bumped - 24hrs prior to my service - and I was now reassigned to a 60 min massage with Andrew. He asked me what I needed worked on and I was very specific. I had pain and tension from travel and need those kinks worked - I named 3 locations on the body and expressed I wanted deep work. His pressure never got to a place where I could say was truly deep tissue. He used the same 3 or 4 moves over and over again. His myofascial work was elementary and not effective. After each spot he worked he asked, "what was the other area you said again?" or "is there somewhere else you need worked?" I wasn't in the mood to be the composer of my own massage. Somewhere in the first half of the massage he said, "I assume you want a relaxing/soothing massage?" And I said, "No, I like deep tissue, no fluff, focused work." He did apologize for assuming and understood I wanted treatment versus relaxation - but I don't understand why that wasn't clear from the start. Andrew took what I said very literally, and only worked on 4 areas of my body, right low back, right and left shoulder and neck. I would have hopes for more encompassing strokes - to bring everything together - to flush out inflammation? Longer and deeper movements to strip the muscles? More sustained compression with forearm - instead of moments where I felt him counting my vertebrae trying to find the origin and insertion point of my QL muscle and pinning it with his fingers. A lot of his techniques are the kind you learn right out of massage school. And without experience of getting and receiving massage you can't fully know how to execute more appropriate and effective moves for deep tissue. That is why I did not request him - but had no choice once we got to our appt. THE FACILITY: I really liked the lay out of the tudor homes. If I could do it all over again I would have gone on the women's only day. There were just way to many men. I don't know if they didn't shower, or have bad body odor, but the sauna and steam room were both difficult to endure with the smell of sweat - almost like a Bikram yoga session. I was wishing for eucalyptus or tea tree oil bc they are anti bacterial and anitmicrobial - instead I just left those 2 spaces because I felt like I was not detoxing, but breathing in that of others. Finally the Jacuzzi, I wanted so to love this space. And it was very pleasant to be outdoors in the jacuzzi. But there was a very annoying man there who was talking to everyone. He also did not defer his gaze and I felt very much watched coming in and out of the pool naked. I don't mind being nude, but I do find it offensive to be observed intently. He would not stop talking even if my eyes were closed and I was as far as I could be from him. He made sexual comments later and also made jokes of what you say to a pretty woman when she walks into a jacuzzi. (sigh) With only 1 hour to use the facility I was doomed to be there the exact hour he was there. I noticed the rules, like all pools have, about no running at the pool edge, no alcohol, etc. And I was really wishing for a HOUSE RULE board that might educate spa goers on proper etiquette, improper topics of discussion, rules of engagement and even lowered voices and not to bother or approach - to respect privacy and space. I was about to say something confrontational to him - when he finally left. THE FRONT DESK: At the end of our services, I went to close out. I wanted to know why my therapist was switched and explained that I was unhappy with my treatment. The front desk staff (Terry, Arianna?) could not figure out why my original choice in therapist was "bumped'? She was nice, but she was also slightly in disagreement with me - which is odd for my understanding of customer service. I told her I booked with a female therapist (who's name I couldn't remember - it was Lisa). And she looked at the computer and said, "No, nothing has changed in the computer?" I expressed I even had a confirmation email from Cassie that confirmed our appts with Rebecca and Lisa. She could not explain why the mishap. Another staff interjected, that if i want to REQUEST, I should let them know to "double star" it. What? I guess bc i was a groupon my request got "bumped"? Why must I double request a therapist after booking it online, requesting over the phone, and then be told - oh you should have told us to double star it???? In the end, they offered no solution, and only reminded me of my 30% off through groupon for my next visit. Sorry - I don;t think I will be visiting again. read more

As nice as this place is, the only way to get in, around and out of the spa includes climbing many spaces. The place isn't wheelchair accessible at all nor is it very accessible for anyone else with a physical disability. I asked in person if there was any way for me to access the spa without climbing all the stairs because i have chronic pain and use a cane to walk, but was told in person there was no accessible path. I called on the phone to see if there was some way i could go to the spa, but there really is not way for most physically disabled folks to be included here and no clear information owning up to that on their website or any promise to improve their facility to what i believe is a really basic standard in the future. They shouldn't be allowed to call this place a healing center if it is completely unusable for disabled people. read more

Got the Groupon deal as well. I REALLY wanted to like this place. The people all seemed super nice and friendly, for the most part. Chiro: The Groupon didn't even include a chiropractic exam, they offered a free 15 consultation along with our massage - why not? The chiropractor was definitely a pushy salesman type, pushed the discount x-rays, pushed for follow-up exams and kept nagging about the follow-ups even after I was done with my massage and checking out. Massage: I've had 2 hour massages and 20 minutes massages and backrubs from bored partners. In my opinion, 30 minutes isn't really much to write home about, no matter where you go. My massage was meh-worthy. The gal was nice, the massage was ok, the room was warm and very calming. Float: This was our first time floating, we really had no idea what to expect so we went in with open-minds. The lady that got our tanks prepped was telling us about how the heater in the one my husband was going in kept cutting off, but since we were just doing the 30 minute float - it'd be fine. She tried upselling us to the 60 or 90 minute floats, but we said we were fine with 30 minutes to start. She said she'd knock 5 minutes before our time was up, then knock when it was time to get out. We put in our ear plugs, waved bye to the outside world and closed the door to our separate float tanks. Blackness. Silence. Warm water. Lean back. Float. The places my mind took me were amazing. I literally tripped the eff out. I was meditating at first and then just friggen left the planet. It was so relaxing and warming and loving and amazing. GREAT GREAT GREAT! Then I started thinking, "hrm. it seems like I've been in here for a really long time.... Crazy how time sort of stands still when you cut out the senses.... let's count seconds... 1....2....3" You get the idea. Then there was a knock. "ok wow! so now i have 5 minutes. lets see how long that feels!" I think. Then a LONG while later, I hear/feel the second knock. "Ok! I'm done!" and I get up slowly, open the door and my husband is standing there wide-eyed looking at me. He asked me if I'm ok and told me that I was in the tank for ONE HOUR AND FORTY FIVE MINUTES!!!!!!! The lady forgot about us! He got out on the first knock, took a shower, went to the steam room and started to worry about where I was. That's when the lady came back and knocked on my tank the second time - 20 minutes after the first.... I got out and felt like I was on a mysterious planet. Naked. Dripping. Smiling ear to ear. I was a friggin prancing faerie. Took a long shower and was so excited and happy and soooo relaxed. I loved it! The gal came in to apologize and seemed very worried that I'd be upset. I said it was totally fine and loved my experience. I'm thankful she sorta forgot about me! I had a blast! BUT, if i were someone else, they may not have appreciated wading around in the friggin water for almost 2 hours. By the way I stepped on a piece of glass while walking around naked and barefoot. Word to the wise - bring slippers. By the way pt. 2: Yknow how the lady mentioned the heater cutting out in my husbands tank? Well it cut out and his water got cold and he was shivering by the time he got out. Yknow - an hour and a half later... Pretty lame. 2 stars are mainly for the nice people that worked there. We will not be coming back to this establishment. BUT heck yea, we will be floating again! read more

I've been here a few times now and it seems to get better and better. The staff is incredibly friendly and accommodating. The facilities are clean and well maintained. The prices are just right and the massages will leave you uplifted and tranquilized. If you're looking for a safe space to enjoy being nude without judgment then you need to experience Everett house. You won't regret it. read more

Years ago I went to this great place, back in Oct 2001 after a party. I had heard they had floatation tanks, but at that time they were not operational. I've also seen the Chiropractor that owns the place, and he's a down to earth sort of guy. The last time I used the floatation tank was actually about a year ago or so. I just noticed a "Zun's" review, so I had to join up just to make this review. I had a great time with the floatation tank, and I have Floated twice at this location. Overall it is a very enjoyable experience. It's important to be sure not to touch your face or else you'll get Salt in your eye (hint, hint Zun). Your first float may seem a bit unusual, especially trying to relax your neck, and since I'm about 6'1" its a challenge to avoid bumping into the walls. You generally want the temperature to be at about 94.5F degrees so you don't feel the water, and if its any hotter you sweat, and colder... well you get cold and its hard to relax. This place is very sanitary, and the longer you float the better. My 2nd float was for 90 minutes and OH MY GOD I felt SO RELAXED! I went to work right afterwards, and my co-workers were all asking me where I had gone, because I seemed so totally relaxed! Even with my speech, it was obvious that I ws SUPER relaxed and it was just a great thing. I really want one of these tanks now, because I just simply want to re-experience this experience. I have read ALLOT about these tanks, and they're great for detoxifying your body and have MANY health benefits. Seriously, check it out, you will be really glad that you did. Oh, and as Zun stated in his review; you have access to the Sauna and steam room; it's a smaller sized place and doesn't really have too many people there when I've gone. You can just go for the steam-room & Sauna or you can go for the works... Massage, Light & Sound machines, Sauna/steam-room and my favorite Sensory Deprivation Tank. read more

I have now been here about 5 times. The first few times I had awesome experiences. I went during the day at around 2 pm on a week day and it wasn't crowded which was perfect. The last time I went it was around 4 pm on a weekday and it was at capacity. This resulted in there being a waiting list and log jam inside the spa area. I used to wonder why Common Ground made you reserve your time to come soak. Now I know why. Waiting around to get in to a place to relax is not relaxing. Watching a staff member have a melt down over it being busy and criticizing a fellow employee in front of customers is not relaxing. Please do yourself a favor and visit this very special place around noon on a week day. That way you will be relaxed. read more

I love this place. Great massage, great flotation tanks, nice staff. The soaking pool is big and clean and never too full (that is, it's not like sitting on a crowded bus, which is not a way to relax in a pool). It's not for everyone -- clothing optional (I'm usually in my swimming trunks ... just my style, and it's not a big deal), and it's a bit hippiesh ... but that's the point. I think it's very clean and very peaceful there. And the massage therapists there are among the best in Portland - or anywhere. read more

Just finished my first float (60 mins). I've talked to several people that have done floats (elsewhere) before, and 2 of them LOVE IT!!! I was excited to try it! I have to say tho, I think I'm a take it or leave it person about the floating thing. I mean, if it was free, I'd totally go for the Epsom Salt exposure. But I also really enjoy my home made-spa-epsom salt-essential oils baths just as much if not more. Yeah, I'm not 'floating' at home, but I can also make the water warmer at home (which i love and find very therapeutic). The water temperature in the float wasn't cold, but it wasn't warm either... it basically felt neutral. I was surprised to find myself feeling a little bit nervous about crawling into this 'tank' when I first saw it... and shutting the door behind me??? But I just proceeded, mind over matter, and it was not problem. The smell was a little funky... but that faded soon. I don't know, I just didn't really zen out beyond what I would already do in a hot bath, or the infrared-sauna I go to at Anisha/r3 Health on Hawthorne, or during/after a great thai massage. So for me, I'd prefer to spend money on those things before a float. What I did really enjoy was sitting in and relaxing in the steam room & sauna afterwards!!! And I'd love to check out the hot tub come winter time! I was a little nervous when I realized the Everett House was co-ed/clothing optional & that I had failed to book my appointment on a women only day. I'm not prude, but I'm also not a nudist that is comfortable walking around naked in front of men I don't know. If I went on a women's only day, it would have been perfect! (note to self in the future). I just didn't know what to expect, so I decided to wear a swimsuit and i was glad I did. Because other than 3 bathrooms (where you could dress in private) there is no privacy during co-ed hours: the showers are open, the dressing areas are open... And for the record, it wasn't horrible going during co-ed hours, as long as you are not shocked (or get over yourself being a little shocked) when naked men walk into the sauna uncovered with even a towel, and it's only you and them. But everyone was polite enough and I just told myself to get over any ingrained American puritan hang ups. My only complaint: I thought the rules said everyone, naked or in clothing, was suppose to take a towel into the sauna/steam rooms to sit/lay on. One naked fellow was not following those rules. So I just had to reassure myself that as long as I had my towel to sit on, I didn't need to stress about the hygiene of it all (oh & I avoided sitting where they had just been hang out... In summary: I might give floating another try sometime, but I'm super geeked out on it. But I would return to Everette House to use the steam/sauna on a women's only day, or just go with my husband next time. read more

Poor experience at Everett house, detached customer service and after a good friend went to float on it's even more obvious how little attention and thought were given in my experience there. An isolation tank experience is potentially very powerful and to be so casual directing and conducting an experience as such is in reflection quite distressing. In retrospect I took advantage of a groupon deal to go there, but unfortunately the support and attention important to a float experience was not at the time present. read more

Went with my wife for a steam and hot tub and had a great experience. Tried to go back after purchasing a deal that I was emailed and it never happened. Bad customer service: being put on hold continuously, not answering phone, not replying to voicemails, inability to schedule. I understand that sometimes it's busy, but maybe the staff needs more training or you need another person working that can help tie up loose ends. read more

Very small waiting room with no music- unless you bring earplugs you're stuck listening to employees chatter. (And smelling some dude's strong cologne. Come on, man!) This was not conducive to a relaxing experience. Employees have been terse with customers 3 out of three times that I've gone. Users were not honoring No Talking areas, and I don't mean just to exchange minimal, important info- like "where's the bathroom", I mean, just chatting away. I came here for a break and just encountered more people who are inconsiderate. Went into large steam room- a woman moaned loudly with every exhale. It was impossible to ignore or have your own experience. Quite a dramatic show! What is wrong with people? I went to the other steam room which is very tiny- holds two strangers or three friends. I am a small woman and was quickly joined by (isolated with) a large man. Wasn't able to relax with this scenario either. Because it is so cramped, I found myself very awkwardly squeezing past him just to exit- think movie theater isle, only its just the two of you. I also soaked here and the person who gave me the orientation did not offer or mention the pillow. So I soaked holding my head up the whole time. Left with a neck ache. Had no idea there was a pillow until after. When I complained the employee gave me a free hour of spa. Nowhere near what a float costs. I paid a lot to relax and left in pain. This place is very beautiful and has the potential to be a meaningful escape. I just have not had a good experience - 3 out of 3 times all bad. read more

Not a great experience at all. I won't return. Certainly don't make an effort to show you around or explain anything. Staff not helpful at all. read more

I cannot believe how difficult it is to make an appointment here. I purchased a Groupon for a float and then proceeded to make an appointment online. After getting my appointment denied I found out I had to have a credit card on file and to schedule on the odd hour (why have half hours available then if you don't schedule anything during those times). Anyhow, something came up so I had to reschedule. Silly me, I thought I could just reschedule since I had already given them my credit card info. NOPE. I have to give them my credit card info yet AGAIN. Had I not purchased a Groupon, I wouldn't deal with this place. After I use my Groupon, I will NEVER deal with this place again. *Edit* So, they had an account with my FB screen name and my actual name. I don't know if scheduling difficulties occur because of the MINDBODY app or what, but even so, it's too difficult to schedule. read more

I really couldn't be more satisfied with my experience yesterday. I bought the massage/spa groupon and have only good things to say about the staff and facility. The girls up front were cool and nice, didn't make me feel weird about being late! but my massage therapist, Andrew, was an angel. I have a lot of built up tension in my shoulders & feet, which he listened to perfectly, and he did all sorts off massaging and stretching I haven't experienced before. Gave me posture advice for when I'm at work too! The facility is this perfect little oasis that I'm so glad exists. Beautiful as well as comfortable. The showers and all the amenities are very nice. The relaxed, open minded, energy & atmosphere was very special. Everyone was mostly young, which was a cool plus. The only complaint I have is that there is no unlimited spa with monthly massage membership package. The spa membership & massage membership are separate. I left with both memberships though :) feeling very grateful, thank you Everett House! read more

Wonderful (clothing optional) place! I took advantage of a Groupon for a float session and absolutely fell in love with the place. Despite the tank not blocking out all sound as I had anticipated, my float experience was amazing. It was my first time in a float tank and I was worried that I'd feel uncomfortable, but it was the most relaxed I'd been in months. Afterwards, I was able to shower and relaxed in the sauna as part of the hour post-float time allotted to me. I will most definitely be back to this establishment to spend some time in the water, get a massage and try out their other various services and classes. The staff is really friendly and informative, which was nice seeing how I was nervous about it being my first time naked and closed up in a tank of water and afterwards romping around in the nude. read more

As a number of other posters, my first visit here was to use a Groupon. However, I did not experience any of the problems mentioned in the other posts. Chiro Consult: The doctor recommended x-rays, which he offered to discount since I am a recent grad. I politely but firmly declined and he said the discounted rate stood for a week. That was the end of the matter, and I did not feel any more pressured than I normally do at a salon or spa. Massage: I had a 90 minute massage with Samantha, which was solid. Although I have received other massages with more .... pizazz?, the fact of the matter is she applied pressure where I needed it. She actually worked out the knots in my shoulders, which is a rare occurrence. I also enjoyed that she massaged my face, which is often neglected, and the work she did on my arms was in the vein of thai massage. Float: Really neat. The tank provides for ultimate relaxation. Steam and Sauna: Hot. What else do you need? I used the little sauna, but the big one looked quite nice too. I went on a weekday and saw only a few other people there. Although clothing is optional, everyone I saw was towels (although I had the steam/sauna to myself!) with the exception of the open shower. Everyone that worked here was very nice and welcoming, and the connecting basements where the tanks and saunas are is a very neat space. I will definitely be coming back for more sauna and steam time, and probably massage. read more

What a really relaxing place! I really enjoyed my soak here. The make you feel super welcome and safe to be yourself.

I had my first massage ever with Samantha at the Everett House Healing center, and it was one of the best days of my life! Going back next week. The spa is another plus, I love sitting in the steam room. It's an extremely holistic atmosphere with great calming vibes. This is a CLOTHING OPTIONAL healing center, so please don't be afraid to see people in the nude! But hey, we've all seen that stuff anyway, right? read more

Really glad to have discovered this gem! Don't come as often as I'd like, but whenever I do, the staff is super nice, the place is clean, the options plentiful, and everyone seems really friendly and respectful. Love that there is both a quiet house when you're feeling like you need some space and a more social environment, where you can chat with friends you came with and/or strike up conversation with other friendly soakers (Hi Ben!). Definitely coming back! read more

I used to go here often a few years back when the set up and personel were different. They have recently updated and increased the size of the hot tub area in the back yard. I heard about a special rate for the opening that seemed reasonable, so I decided to check it out. Unfortunately, when I made it there, the special rate had changed... to a different special rate. I mentioned to the desk person that I'd heard about a cheaper rate, but they were not willing to honor that. In my opinion, that's a little chintzy. So, I spent I think 7.50 for an hour in the hot tubs. That's about what the hot tub rate used to be when I used to go there. I wouldn't spend the $15 an hour that is apparently the normal rate nowadays. Also, towel rental was $2 for a small gym towel. (Since going there, I received an email from them advertising a dizzying array of "specials" that weren't great values and were frankly confusing) While in the hot tub, I went to use the cold plunge bathtubs and was not able to get them to work. When I mentioned this to the front desk on my way they said "yeah, they aren't currently working". Having a cold plunge next to the hot tub was and is probably my favorite aspect of soaking in a hot tub - it allows you to spend more time comfortably in the hot water, it energizes you, and allows for muscle relaxation and deep breathing. So, not having this part of the package is a major minus for me. That said, I found the atmosphere very pleasant. If I had lots of money I'd probably go here from time to time. At the current rate (15/hr) I'm going to stick to my gym's hot tub/ steam room / and free towels, and go to Kennedy School when I want to soak with mixed genders. read more

Totally loved this place. Was visiting Portland for work and needed a good, cost effective spa with steam and all the other amenities. I didn't experience the bad customer service everyone else on here talked about. All great and I'll definitely be back. read more

They don't answer the phones. They don't call you back. Their online reservation system is lengthly and problematic.

Lovely place to relax, meditate, and rejuvenate. Everyone I encountered was respectful. The staff is ill-equipped though- they don't know what the policies or prices are... read more

Awful experience with my Groupon for a chiropractor apt. It is quite obvious that this business is hurting and is trying really, really hard to increase revenue. Unfortunately, it is ALL at the expense of the patient. 1. Two people in the waiting room. Without explaining or asking if okay, they called BOTH of us into the office for the "initial intake", which involved asking us each personal questions. Totally unacceptable way to cut corners. And maybe illegal or at least a violation of HIPPA. 2. Just as others have explained in their reviews -- there is a BIG effort to get Xrays (I am a healthcare professional and the doctor was unable to explain to me WHY I needed Xrays except that he needed "more information"). He initially asked for $120 more and then said for me, only $40, and eventually he did this for free in exchange for my promise to return for a follow up appointment. Oh there is so much more (like other reviews mentioned, they have their saunas off to save electricity $ so forget about that part of the Groupon) but you get the point. In my opinion, go somewhere else. read more

First, I'd like to say that Everette House is very aesthetically pleasing and the amenities are sweet, however my companions and I had an unsettling experience with the staff member, Jennifer, which unfortunately sent us into the space feeling on-guard and unwelcome. I checked in with my friends afterward to see how they were feeling and they were as equally uncomfortable as I... It is clear, after reading other reviews that this is not an isolated occurrence. The attitude/energy/temperament of the "host" sets the tone for the experience of the guests. In spite of the beautiful visual atmosphere of Everette House, we will not be returning or recommending Everette house to anyone due to the unsettling energetic atmosphere which Jennifer created. read more

There are two parts, upstairs where they have the chiro and massage and downstairs in this cave like spa experience, with steam room, sauna, showers, and the float tanks. I had one of the best massages ever, unfortunately can't remember her name. She has tattoos on her feet. The float was terrific, I can't wait to do it again. I like doing it here in the "cave," afterwards its a very relaxing environment and it comes with the sauna/steam. Nice way to end the experience. I've heard other float places are sterile. This place definitely is not. read more

Relaxing environment, and nice clientele. I really liked the laid back (if not slightly disorganized) atmosphere in the lobby, and homey-ness of the place. I went on a cool winter evening and the steam room, sauna, and outdoor hot tubs were super enticing! I was a little intimidated by the "clothing optional" thing initially, but once I got there I found everyone I encountered to be discreet and respectful. I thought the float would be my favorite part, but instead I am going back for the sauna and steam room. Makes Portland winters more bearable! read more
