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.

We've been to Onsen a couple of times before and had good experiences, so I booked again as a…read morebirthday present for a friend. Unfortunately, this time wasn't as enjoyable. The hot tub looked rusty in spots and stained and the jets only worked on the right side except for one weak jet on the left. When we let the front desk know, they just said, "we'll look into it tomorrow," and thanked us for telling them. I thought they'd at least apologize for the sub optimal condition or maybe offer a discount on a future visit, but no.

I've worked with them for years. They have gone above and beyond for many of my spa needs over the years and I would never buy a tub or accessories from anyone else. I've had my hot tub for more than 20 years and these guys are my ultimate go-to. Their responses are personalized and I feel like they're a part of my team. I have brought them several complex (and pain in the rear) issues and we always get them resolved.

When I realized I needed to replace mine (along with buying a wood stove insert) Eric came to my house and spent 2 hours discussing options with the pros and cons.

Locker rooms are gross and lockers are expensive and often broken anyway. Don't bother. Exercise facilities ... ok if you don't need any space to do anything and can rely on machines for your workout, and need no room to really do free weights. Stretching? Hah ... good luck. If there are more than two people trying to do anything you'll have to toss a coin for navigating the space. Also why does everyone think it's ok to stand in the stairwell and have a catch up conversation as loud as outside voices? Or converse on the phone while working out?! Track is nice. Gym space is beautiful but always filled with school groups as the schools don't have enough spaces (yay for the comm center supporting local schools but also why are they not supporting their own activities?) Staff at desk has been consistently rude or at a minimum seem annoyed you're there. I don't go anymore unless the grandkids are visiting and the weather is too sucky for beach time. It's just ... meh.

Highly recommend West Coast Spa's if you're in the market for a hot tub. I began looking for tubs…read morebefore the state fair knowing dealers often have discounts around that time. I met with multiple sales reps of multiple companies and noticed a trend - very slimy, shady, used car type sales people. Prices wouldn't be posted anywhere, they'd claim everything is on massive discount, then when I said no thanks they'd throw in an extra 10% off because they liked me. The process was unclear and felt slimy. Smash cut to walking into West Coast. Immediately upon walking in the prices were posted on the wall, and they were substantially cheaper than even the great discounts other manufacturers were offering. Forrest was honest, genuine, and extremely knowledgeable about his products, maintenance, and all the questions that come along with being a first time hot tub buyer. Honestly, he was a huge breath of fresh air. I am super satisfied with my experience with west coast spas as well as the tub I got which I use every day. Thank you for making the process so easy and clear compared to other dealers in the area!

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.

Yes -- I'm always looking for a healthy African Violet -- it's about the only plant I can reliably grow.... However -- all his violets are from the same mother plant -- so all have the same color blooms! They're all very pretty, but one of the good bits about growing these little darlings is that there are SO MANY different flowers out there -- Singles, doubles, semi-doubles, triples. Pansy shaped. Daisy shaped. Cupped. Bell shaped. Ruffled. Wavey. Sparkled. Striped. Speckled. Spotted. Varigated -- bi-color, tri-color and every color -- and every color from green and yellow through white, pink, violet and blue -- all the way to new varieties that are almost black. Miniatures and standards. Perky and weeping. And every kind of leaf you can imagine -- So -- his 1 violet -- while lovely (and yes, I bought one) -- is sort of the tip of the African Violet iceberg. lol. He says his shop in Lincoln City has more stuff. Can't imagine how it could have much less.... I really think this must be a store more for landscapers -- so hardly fair to judge it as anything else. And he was very nice to the crazy lady looking for violets....
