Thank you to Tim for being so accomodating to my boyfriend and I and allowing us to change our reservations! I've seen cedar baths before on Instagram, and I had to try it out for myself when we visited Tahoe. He did an amazing job explaining to us the health benefits of the cedar, helping us get situated, and pouring us a cup of Super Ohtaka (a Japanese beverage consisting of 50 fermented vegetables) at the end of the session. The cedar bath itself was comfortable, each session is 25 minutes. I wasn't anticipating getting so messy! It was very fun getting buried in the cedar- the way Tim explained it was like getting covered in a warm weighted blanket. It's a similar experience to a sauna, I was surprised when he told us that there was no heating in the tub and that the cedar enzymes were keeping the cedar warm! I definitely felt my circulation improving. If you end up overheating, you can create air bubbles with your toes and hands or just stick your arm out to help regulate your internal temperature- which is what I ended up doing. We got out of the tub, brushed off, hopped in the shower, and felt rejuvenated. What a fun novelty experience! read more

Nothing but 5-star reviews is telling! I was in Tahoe and needed to do something while the family skied. It popped up when I searched saunas and I'm so glad it did. It's not a sauna but an experience that you've never had before. Unless you're from Japan and then maybe you've done it. It's what everyone else shared ... peaceful, restorative, healing, warm. Kirsten was awesome and explained the science behind the cedar and warming mechanism -- quite fascinating! I have some pain in my right elbow as well as lymphedema in right arm. After the session my arm felt 10000% better. It was unbelievable. I had no concerns about cleanliness. Everything was great and after the session you brush off the cedar and then shower. Bring your own swim suit or they'll provide disposable ones along with a robe. Afterwards I was offered an elixir of some sort with digestive health benefits. It's available for purchase on Amazon for $179 a bottle! This was such a great experience. Yes it's pricey but sooooooo worth it. Thank you to the owners and staff who make this available. read more

What a wonderful self care experience to share with my husband on a Sunday afternoon. The location was fairly easy to find on Kingsbury grade. Tim one of the owners was incredibly knowledgeable and informative about the service. He explained everything from start to finish in the process. The office "spa" was impeccable clean and beautifully designed. The actual forest bath was like nothing I have experienced before and I really enjoyed it. Tim listened to us about how much heat we could withstand during the bath. We were in a large structure with finely ground cedar, fir and rice bran. The total time in the "tub" was 20 - 25 minutes. We were constantly monitored for our comfort. Both my husband and I feel relaxed, rejuvenated and lighter after the experience. I would recommend trying it. read more

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! read more

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. read more

We went here for my birthday and it was truly a great treat. The place is extremely clean and the owner is very nice and helpful and even took pictures of us so that we could show our friends and family. They provide you with slippers and disposable undergarments, although we brought our own swimsuits and there's also a locker. The baths themselves are so nice and relaxing, you feel like you're in a cocoon. Afterwards you take a shower to remove everything off of you. This is definitely a great way to treat yourself with some self care. The place smells amazing too with all the cedar. It would have been nice if they had a hair dryer but I really have no complaints. If you want to try one of only too cedar baths in the country and are looking for a unique and relaxing experience, definitely try them! read more

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. read more

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! read more

This was an incredible and unique experience. You're buried in a white cedar mix, a living breathing organism that the owners tend to every day, it generates its own heat that you burrow yourself into. Talk about being grounded. The whole thing is unreal. I absolutely loved the entire flow of the process. My skin loved it too, I can't believe how soft my skin is!! Thank you Tim and Candice! Recommend for all. read more

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. read more

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. read more

So if you're reading this, just book it and go. Seriously, if you're even a little bit interested, just go ahead. You'll likely leave (at least slightly and maybe significantly!) altered. Two days later, skin is so smooth and digestion is calm, mood is still incredibly happy, loving, positive and stable. This truly is a grounding, rejuvenating treatment. The inside is lovely- clean and serene with a welcoming vibe. Tim was awesome with the cool cloths and very knowledgeable. They provide disposable undies, but for a more comfortable fit you can bring and wear your own bathing suit. I plan on adding this to my (at least) quarterly self care routine. I will be bringing all my friends and family here. Thanks Tim! read more

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. read more

I can't believe I found this place in Lake Tahoe! I have been to enzyme baths couple times in Japan but couldn't find anything like that for more than 20years in US. Ohtaka Enzyme is a famous company with 100 years of history in Japan and I heard that the owner of Tahoe Forest Bath directly imported the enzyme bath cedar from Ohtaka in Hokkaido, Japan! Tahoe Forest Bath even provides you with one cup of the famous Ohtaka enzyme drink which has more than 50 kinds of vegetable and fruits. I felt very relaxed, Tim was checking on me with the temperature and gave me cool towel on my face couple of times. I was detoxed, rejuvenated, body was warm the whole day in the breezing snow weather, and able to sleep deeply. Worth every penny! read more

This was the BEST ! Tim was great . If you want something relaxing , this is the place . The cedar is biologically hot so they don't heat anything up . There's an oxygen bar as well as a sweet drink they give you to start the pampering . My friend and I felt so good after this treatment , I would definitely do it again ! read more
