Reviews of Sauna House

Brock Cannon

As a Wim Hof instructor, this place was absolutely heaven for me!!! I felt completely recharged in my 2 hours there. Both saunas were 🔥, and the cold plunge was so refreshing. Loved the plants, open floor plan, and sitting area. Truly a dream and highly recommend to anyone in the area! …

Very inviting place. LOVE the quiet area downstairs. Everyone values different things, I value quiet when in a small space with others, like a sauna, and having the quiet Sauna downstairs is a game changer. Always a great time. Clean, beautiful, and this time has to finally get some of their body oil to take home. Really good stuff! Glad they are a part of my town, feel proud.

Love this place so so much and always visit when in the area. They have the sweetest staff, wonderful facility and very clean space. Everyone is respectful of one another, people are kind and professional and the experience is always good. Sad to see they did away with the massages but happy to know they are still thriving and in business. The pandemic hit AVL pretty hard so I’m really thankful to see them doing well, but that shows that they treat their customers with respect and offer fair prices for what you get. They have many options to suit the needs of anyone who enjoys relaxing at the Sauna. If I could give 100 stars I would! ❤️❤️

Victoria Parker

We love to Sauna and we're quite pleased with Sauna House. They make it easy to walk-in without a lot of forethought as you sometimes need prior to Sauna. Clean, upscale experience at a great price. Go at your own pace. Put your experience over the top by bringing a lock & robe!

Allen Yeh

What a fantastic experience that my wife and I had this week! It was so relaxing! We wish we lived closer so we could come all the time!

Emily Gregory

I've been 4 or 5 times now and it's always great. Other visitors really respect the space, the workers are kind and helpful and the sauna/cold plunge are amazingly rejuvenating. Well worth a visit!

Chris Groutt

Great space and facilities. Finnish sauna and cold plunge are spot-on. Private rooms downstairs are a bit pricey but really nice. The plunges in private are super cold and the saunas are FIR (vs Finnish) but you also get red light therapy panels, which is nice. They run specials and text deals if you sign up, so you can get in below advertised price also. Very clean space and very friendly staff always.

Lynn Hodge

What a GREAT experience! Jaylen was very helpful in showing us around our first visit and the entire facility was top notch. Clean, peaceful, calming, and incredibly restorative and relaxing. My wife and I will definitely be back soon!

Lauren S.

Totally unique experience (at least for me). I've heard of bathhouses and been in a sauna before, but I loved it. The atmosphere was very calming (aside from other Sauna House visitors talking somewhat loud and the wood creaking when being stepped on or moving around). The only drawback I had was the floor was a tad bit slippery even with the mats (I didn't bring any flip flops/sandals with me there). Other than that, I'd totally go again. The cold plunge does take a bit getting use to as a first timer but totally worth it.

Haley Medved

We did private room which was excellent. Privacy and we could set our own temperature and music. I didn’t last long in the cold plunge, maybe 20 seconds my longest stint, but i felt great after.

Monica Misiura

Nice atmosphere and facilities but definitely feel it’s a bit pricey. You’re given one large towel and have to pay for a second towel (but you can use as many hand towels for the sauna and plunges as you want? Just throw in an extra large towel since everyone seems to use at least 5-10 small towels). No lock for the locker, my friend put her stuff in one, went to the shower, and then another guest came in a put their belongings in my friend’s already full locker? Just provide a lock and key. As someone who works in a spa I can’t believe there are no shoes allowed!? Any public bathhouse/bathroom/gym bathroom requires shoes due to EXTREMELY contagious foot fungus and plantar warts. Not only is hygiene a concern here but safety also, I’m a young athletic person but I felt I was going to slip and fall the entire time. Was told there was a dry and “wet” sauna but there seemed to be no difference in the saunas.

Olivia Affuso

Great place to relax. Staff is very helpful and the facility is well-maintained.

Holly Brown

Last winter I had some pretty weird customer service experiences. I decided to give them another try after they remodeled their basements and was really impressed! I’m a big fan once again.

China L. L.

So grateful for this place. To go alone or with friends. It’s both relaxing and invigorating and lasting 3 minutes in the cold bath makes me feel invincible!

John Salchichon

Positives: quality saunas and cold plunges, clean environment, and helpful staff. Negatives: nickel and diming for everything. $$ for flip flops, $$ for extra towel, $$ for lock for locker. Why not build it into the price? It’s off putting to be told everything costs extra. ( I can easily afford it, but makes the place feel cheap.) Lastly the quiet space wasn’t so quiet as they had a private group in a room downstairs that was HELLA LOUD. Difficult to get zen when you have 3 women yelling and laughing constantly. I would suggest better sound insulation or perhaps not advertising that area as a quiet place. Overall a positive experience but plenty of opportunity to improve guest experience l.

Sauna house is wonderful. It’s clean (so important), beautiful, and the atmosphere is calming and restful. The sauna’s temperatures are perfect. (I’ve had problems in the US with saunas not hot enough.) While sauna etiquette in the US is hit and miss, Sauna House is doing their part to gently teach the art of sauna. The staff at the sauna house are fantastic -always kind, welcoming and helpful, and they keep the place clean! Excellent!

I love Sauna House! I’ve used saunas all over (it’s a bit of an obsession) including in Scandinavia and Sauna House is world class. I’ve tried their massages, bathhouse, infrared sauna, and private sauna room and the bathhouse is still my favorite, and the most affordable way to enjoy the space. I especially like that they’ve installed a second cold plunge so you can complete a circuit on each floor of the bathhouse. Really the only thing that’s missing is a steam room…hint hint!

Much nicer than I was expecting. At times when more appointments show up, it may be a little awkward trying to use the shared spaces if you don't enjoy relaxing / sauna sweating / cold dipping around strangers, or if there are chatty folks there. But there is enough room where you can flow downstairs or into one of the private showers in between shared sauna space. I thought 2 hours would be too short of allocated time to enjoy all of the amenities but it ended up being perfect. The quality of the water and pressure were really nice, and the showers could switch from very hot to very cold quickly.

Kevin Tompkins

I had a wonderful experience. The saunas are nice, good temps, and clean. Love the cold plunge, upstairs is not as cold as downstairs. My only suggestion is to have calmer and softer music playing.

Dylan Osborne

This was my first visit to any sauna at all. It was very nice!! I’ll be back to Asheville just for it. This truly cannot be beat for under $40/person. If they offered the sauna as a subscription I’d snatch it up in a heartbeat

cat cambra

wow! this place is awesome. i’m usually VERY iffy about going to public saunas or baths because i am such a clean freak- but this place was soooo clean! the staff was really helpful and knowledgeable about the process. you can easily spend two hours here, going back and forth between the hot and cold saunas and plunges. you can buy shower shoes, they have tons of water, and it felt pretty socially distanced. would highly recommend! we will be back!

Cindi

Awesome Experience ❤️ very relaxing. the modalities in the hrc room were outstanding The next morning I felt fantastic. thank you sauna house! A must do when in Ashville 🙌🦩🦩🦩

Pati Becker

They are just awesome. Best place to sweat out your worries. They have a selection of cbd and kombucha drinks, that we love.

Christian Becker

This place is incredible and the hot cold treatment really works, both me and my wife felt completely relaxed and re-energized after spend 2 hours at the Sauna House....Please open a location in Charlotte NC !!!

Megan Divens

Really unique experience and a nice way to relax by yourself or with a friend or two. Staff is very friendly and the facility is kept really clean.

Aditi Biswas

Amazing experience! Went with some friends this Monday and we all had such a relaxing time, especially after going on a hike prior. Great pricing too. Staff was very welcoming.

erin buckley

I had an absolutely life changing massage with Hayden, beyond healing and integrative deep tissue massage. Friends and I enjoyed the Sauna House facilities after. The entire staff was so kind, the flow of the space is incredible, cannot recommend more to kick off a relaxing day/weekend!

Chris Dotson

I have been a frequent and regular user of Sauna House for several years, Perhaps this is one of those places i have yet to review because i like it too much and am afraid of all the tourists, but a kind word is truly deserved. Andrew has truly created a unique third space and perfectly executed traditional sauna based bath house which has been a true haven for health during a very difficult time for everyone. The combination of breathwork, Traditional Sauna, and cold-plunge has made a significant positive impact on my life. Furthermore, he has shown an excellent ability to hire staff with a unique, kind, and enthusiasm that is a genuine reflection of his own passion for education on the ancient art of public bathing and Sauna. This is not other places which cater to the consumerist bougie mentality of resortdom loneliness but an authentic environment for healing the mind, body, and spirit. Thanks Andrew and Sauna house family for being you.

Lindsay King

My husband and I spent the day at the sauna House yesterday for our anniversary and we loved it! I felt truly relaxed after leaving and will be back again soon. Tip: the downstairs, dry sauna with the plants was perfectly dreamy and quiet.

B Fadem

Update: unfortunately prices have gone up and $40 for a two hour session just really isn’t affordable for most people including myself these days. I do understand everything is increasing in price in society, but the price per session was much more reasonable in the previous years. They do offer bundles now that help you buy multiple visits at a slightly discounted rate, but the passes have expiration dates on them and they will not make exceptions if you don’t stick within the deadline which is a little bit unfortunate as well. I used to feel like this was a very accessible experience for the average local however I think it has moved towards volume and a focus on tourist traffic and not necessarily locals/regulars. I had been going with some regularity for about three years, but I won’t really be able to afford going with any frequency anymore. That being said, I do think If you can save up to enjoy this place, it is worth a try. The fact that it is pricier now is unfortunate because I think more regular use of hot cold therapy could really help improve peoples lives.

Abby Miller

I had a great time at the Sauna House! I had a wonderful 60 minute massage with Katie. Afterwards I took advantage of the 2 hour sauna time that came with the massage. The facility was very thoughtfully planned out and super clean. I will definitely be returning!

Jackie R

First time in an American style sauna house. It was fun and pleasant experience. Only thing is because it's a public facility they make you wear a bathing suit. Other than that small difference, it's a very well laid out facility for its size. The wet sauna was at the perfect temperature the whole time, and conventional closet to the cold bath. I enjoyed myself by going back and forth into the sauna and cold bath numerous times. Will be visiting there again, only one of its kind in the Asheville area I've been able to find.

Lindsay Levine

I had my first Sauna House experience and it was absolutely amazing! I booked a 90 minute massage with Jenna and it was so relaxing! I thoroughly enjoyed the other spa services afterwards and left feeling very relaxed and recharged. Can’t wait to come back!

Brittany Hegler

Sauna House never disappoints. We had a lovely few hours enjoying the saunas and cold plunges. The employees here truly care about the facilities and your experience.

Alyssa Ruberto

Very hospitable, the massages were nice and it was so great to be able to use the sauna/plunge after the massage appt. They seem to do a good job keeping up with the cleaning. The heated seats were awesome! Prices are very reasonable and they have packages for the sauna/plunge. I do wish there were more surfaces for placing your clothes when you change in the bathrooms and showers (I had a duffel bag I didn’t really want to place on the wet floor.) However there were tons of hooks to hang things which was good.

Sarah Schrodt

My friend and I had an absolutely enchanting experience at Sauna House. It’s quiet, serene, and absolutely beautiful. I had a wonderful integrative massage with Alexis and she was so considerate and soothing. The space is clean and industrial, but still relaxing and inviting. The women who worked the desk were so sweet as well, and you could tell they take pride in making people feel at home in their space. The cold plunge was not for me personally, but the Sauna was delightful. Thank you for a lovely experience! I would recommend this experience to anyone!

Amazingly clean. Super welcoming staff. Great mental and physical relief. 12 out of 10 recommend

Eddy Taylor

I have loved each time I’ve been to Sauna House. Each detail is thoughtfully executed for a great atmosphere. I love the clean, light, and natural vibes. The space is lush with plants and natural light. I still rave about the deep tissue massage I received. Thank you for such a great space and all the hard work by the friendly staff. Highly recommend.

Meadow Garcia

I was very surprised of how much I felt at ease here. I thought that the cold water dips would be entirely unpleasant but, it was strangely fun. The cold made me feel invigorated and I wanted to smile for some reason. It was wonderful and the workers made it even better.

Amber Mahaffey

Went for a massage in the downstairs area and took advantage of the 2-hour post massage time in the bath house. Jenna and Haydyn were both amazing masseurs and the staff up front was friendly, accommodating and promoted a relaxed environment. Great spot to visit if you're in the area!

RedDead tips tricks

Clean sauna & nice cold plunge with a public pool atmosphere. Upstairs talking, downstairs quiet area, good showers

Erika Binger

This is one of my favorite places within Asheville city limits for so many reasons. The staff are truly wonderful humans. The space is beautifully designed and creates a very unique, calming retreat from the outer world. The saunas are hot, the cold plunge is cold, and the combo of both is transcendent. I love the community and conversation that spontaneously and inevitably happens in this space. In these times, having a space where we can breakthrough the firewall of disconnection that technology has generated is truly precious. The Sauna House provides that opportunity for connection, which is an added bonus to the therapeutic benefits of hot-cold therapy.

Gretchen Heister

My boyfriend and I went for a couples massage when visiting Asheville, and Sauna House was a great experience! It was very clean, the services were fantastic, and we walked out feeling pleasantly like bowls of jello.

Leah Bullman

Everybody at the sauna house was welcoming and friendly. We had never been there before, and they were all helpful in showing us around and explaining things. Our massages were great, and we loved relaxing in the bath house afterwards.

Michalina Kulikowski

My husband and I are obsessed with The Sauna House and cannot wait to come back to Asheville to experience it again! Our massages therapists were just what we needed after our road trip and Cody is one of the best front desk professionals I've come across. Absolutely love the vibe of The Sauna House.

Raina Lee Scott

I LOVE this place! It was my first time there and I had the best massage I've had in 20 years. Included with the massage is two hours in the sauna house where I spent the full two hours in the hot saunas and the cold plunge. Everyone was respectful of each other's space and privacy. I will be going back often.

s

Shoutout to the staff of Sauna House!!! I came on my birthday and was briefly treated rudely by another patron of the sauna which led me to feel very distressed and uncomfortable. I was ready to leave when the women at the front desk intervened and addressed the situation, made sure I felt comfortable in the space, and made the next few hours a relaxing and wonderful experience again. The space is beautiful and I dare say I had the best massage of my life here. I came during COVID in February and felt overall safe and respected. No body negativity either. Definitely a place you must visit - and give the front desk staff a raise!! Thank you wonderful people.

John Baley

Incredible! Got a massage and a 2 hour session for my first visit. Massage is spa priced but worth it. Saunas are solid. Cold plunge is amazing and invigorating. Completely pain free, increased range of motion, and a general serenity were among the benefits I experienced. Atmosphere is classic, interior well appointed, and conversation with other guests flowed freely and pleasantly. Highly recommend.

Melina Coogan

I LOVED this place. The staff are genuinely warm and friendly, they put me at ease right away. The atmosphere inside is just lovely- sparse but inviting, so clean and bright. The health benefits that I've experienced with the sauna/cold plunge are unreal. My chronic pain melts away during and AFTER each visit. I always sleep beautifully after visiting the spa. The location is amazing, right at the bottom of the South Slope so you can just walk on up for dinner and a beer after your visit. LOVE this place!

Jennifer Lehman

Sauna house is amazing. My massage was probably the best I’ve ever had and I loved the cold + hot circuit. I was nervous to do it but I felt very comfortable and the staff was super kind. I’d highly recommend this establishment to both locals + visitors in the area.

Anna Hunt

This place is AMAZING! I went on a fully booked Monday morning and it was peaceful and quiet the whole two hours. The whole place is really clean, has great feel, and the staff is super friendly. I like the wet sauna for a good sweat, but the dry sauna downstairs is so beautiful too.

Deirda Hart

I visited with my husband last weekend for our anniversary! It was beautiful! The staff is lovely. So personable, welcoming, and informative. We agreed that the massages were the best we've ever had. Such an amazing experience! Will make a point to come back next time we're in town.

Madison Holley

During my massage, i could hear people walking around and showering. It was very distracting! Massage was just OK and for the price, I expected better. Also, they did not tell me to bring a bathing suit or something to read. I'd never been to a bath house so I didn't know what to expect. They should consider sending helpful instructions when someone books online as I didn't get to enjoy the bath house at all.

L Chenault

We loved our massage & 2 hour bathhouse experience during our visit to Asheville! The staff was outstanding, the facility clean & comfortable. We will certainly make this part of our next visit to the Asheville area. Highly recommend!

Nicole Ortega

This place is absolutely incredible! I live in the Upstate area of SC and took a weekend trip to Asheville. Made an appointment at the Sauna house 2 days before and they were able to accommodate my guest and me with ease. Massages were incredible, bathhouse experience was eye opening! I will definitely return in the near future to utilize all their services!

Thomas M

Incredible experience. My wife and I drove four hours to enjoy the Hot & Cold Therapy(sauna and cold plunge). The staff were inviting and friendly, the atmosphere was relaxing (and VERY clean facilities), the sauna was as calming as the cold plunge was invigorating. All for a very reasonable price!

Evan Lightner

Great place to relax! Private rooms are great to relax with your other half!!

Ellen Willmann

We went here for the first time after living in asheville for years. It was very lovely abs the people there were kind and helpful. They do require temp checks and masks in certain areas, which is appreciated. The saunas and cold bath were well taken care of, as well as the shower and bathroom facilities. There is on site parking which is a big plus in asheville. It is also affordable compared to some other local spas. I would highly suggest this place for a relaxing evening or time with friends!

Shelby Burnsed

The most wonderful experience. During my time in this space I felt safe and relaxed. The staff is so sweet and attentive, and the building is beautiful! I spent an evening in and out of the sauna (so spacious and comfy), the cold plunge (exhilarating and refreshing), and then balancing out on the heated furniture. 10/10 would recommend making this a part of your regular self care routine!

Jordan Girard

We got a Christmas package for three trips this year and we loved it! My husband and I felt amazing after this first trip and can't wait to go again. Very clean, not too crowded, and the results were so wonderful. We both felt like a million bucks leaving.

Gabrielle Stewart

Incredible experience - amazing staff - definitely going to be a regular here!

Jeff Anderson

Im reminded everytime that I go to how important it is for my routine. Immediately feeling healed and rejuvenated. Best spa service in Asheville.

Zia Assad

10/10 Would recommend to anyone! I treated my mother to a day at the sauna house on Christmas Eve, and we could not have had a more lovely start to our holiday. The environment is relaxing, with a lot of natural light, musical selections were perfect for the setting, and everything was impeccably clean and well laid out. Upstairs you can enjoy sauna and cold plunge, with a nice open area for lounging on heated benches and drinking a selection of delicious teas. Downstairs you will find a stretching lounge, infrared sauna, and an adorable reading nook. The downstairs area is a no talking space, for an extra relaxing experience. The owner was working the front desk, and was an absolute delight

Cody Dixon

Amazing place Great experience, nice and knowledgeable staff. Awesome facilities I prefer wet saunas over dry saunas so hopefully one day they will install. Nevertheless, best around

Jessica Brooks

WOW! All I can say is wow. This was my first sauna and cold plunge, and this was the perfect place to do it. The facilities: amazing. The sauna: so hot! The cold plunge: so cold! Truly a relaxing experience, and I can’t wait to come back. Plus, the staff is helpful, friendly and accommodating. If you’re on the fence about coming, do it!!

Erin Osborn

We visited Asheville and the Sauna Hose over the weekend, this is a really cool, unique spot. We had a small issue but the owners response was so prompt and so kind. The massages were great, very relaxing. The downstairs sauna room is amazing.

Holly O'Hearn

I found out about Bada Bastu because my message therapist of many years (Alexis, who is amazing) now works here. Needless to say I was pumped to go see her! My first visit to the spa with my friend was amazing. The vibe is perfect and everything is super clean. It is very quiet and relaxing but not so much so that you can't have a conversation. To be honest It is the perfect place to have a little lady date. You can get massages, hit the dry sauna, plunge in the cold pool, and then relax in robes and lazily chat on the heated stone furniture with cups of hot tea. Seriously this place is heavenly, go check it out!

Adam DeVito

My wife and I went to the sauna house last February. We absolutely loved it. The space is immaculate, the staff is super friendly, and the experience was just what we were looking for. If you enjoy hot/cold therapy or saunas at all, go here!

KJ Schroer

Beautiful space. A bit underwhelmed compared to the cost (there were showers, 1 packed sauna & 1 small cold plunge that smelled strongly of pool chemicals). The staff are lovely. I felt like I was in the middle of a collegiate party & there was an air of socializing... not meditative. They say they are building it out to accommodate. It'd be nice if the entry price was comparable to what's offered. This would be a fun place to rent for a party or gathering.

Kendra Coker

This is one of my favorite places to unwind. The staff is very friendly and helpful and the facility is clean and smells nice. They recently opened their infrared sauna downstairs, which was very nice. I appreciate the quiet and solitude in the downstairs area, as well as the more social setting in the upstairs area.

Jordan Treadaway

This place is incredible!! They have three saunas - one wet sauna, one dry sauna, and one infrared sauna. In addition, they have cold showers and a cold plunge pool. The facilities are incredibly clean and the staff is awesome! There are also areas for relaxing and reading. They also offer massages. We did the entry to the saunas and ended up staying for two hours. This was the perfect spa visit to end our Asheville vacation. Only halfway joking when I told my partner I was considering moving to Asheville so I could purchase a membership to Sauna House! Thank you, we’ll be back!

Nathan Cooper

I have been to Bada Bastu a few times and and absolutely can not recommend it enough! I am a carpenter and suffer from chronic back and knee pain. I’ve tried everything looking for relief and let me tell you, hot/cold therapy works! Relaxing in the heated furniture after getting out of the cold plunge gives my entire body such a breath of fresh air, it’s incredible. On top of feeling physically renewed, the endorphin rush leaves you with such a clear head and release from stress. The mental benefits are astonishing. In addition to all of the benefits the spa gives you, the experience as a whole is wonderful as well. The environment inside Bada Bastu is incredible. The intentional quietness in a very clean and simple space, surrounded by beautiful plants, feels very safe and makes it very easy to unwind. The staff there is exceptional as well. Everyone is super kind and welcoming. You get a sense that everyone there genuinely cares about you and your experience. They make the entire thing super easy and enjoyable. Bada Bastu gets a 10/10 every time! Highly recommended!

Katherine Fisher

I can't say enough great things about Bada Bastu. From the amazing staff, to the beautiful and calming decor, Andrew and his team have perfected the art of relaxation. We make it a priority to visit at least once a week and the effect hot-cold therapy has on our sleep is incredible. We leave the spa feeling like we've received a full-body massage. The tea service is delicious and the heated benches are the cherry on top of completing the hot-cold circuits. We're so lucky to have this gem available to us (and at such a great price!!). Looking forward to trying out the massage services that we've heard are phenomenal.

Thomas Koenig

Lovely and attentive staff! Delicious coffee and tea. Great message therapists! Nice and clean saunas! Always a great experience

Alexis Dunn

The space is so beautiful! Everything was clean and comforting, a perfect place to relax and rejuvenate. The hot cold relax cycle really jump starts the body while also relieving aches and pains. Their massage therapists are amazing too and I love the Rishi tea menu!! 10s across the board!!!

Kimberly Hodges

I LOVE this place! So relaxing and a great way to experience the benefits of hormesis. Extremely clean, stylish surroundings and friendly staff. Due to Covid there was a 2 hour limit but plenty of time to do 3 15 minute saunas and 3 cold plunges.

Natalie DeSisto

This place is amazing. Went in with allergies and an achy body. I very much enjoyed the sauna and cold plunge followed by relaxation with tea and the warmed furniture. I left feeling like puddle (in a good way). I cannot wait to return! The space is spotless and peaceful.

Lauren Wilson

Will definitely be back! My time at bada bastu was both relaxing and energizing, and the combination of a beautiful space and thoughtfully picked products made for such a great experience. The set up also offered a really fun social aspect to the sauna/cold plunge process that I wasn't expecting. The staff are super lovely and helpful - I wanted to be friends with them all! 10/10 would recommend.

Happy Doggos Dog Treats

I am adding another 5 Star review to join the other 21 5 star reviews for this place. I was extremely impressed from the moment I saw the painting on the front outside wall. I was very excited to try this out. I collapsed from Cardiac Arrest a little over two years ago and luckily my defibrillator had no problems reacting with the cold plunge. I highly recommend experiencing what they have to offer. Three minutes in life goes by fast but three minutes in the plunge pool is an ETERNITY. Look forward to going back and maybe getting a massage.

Alessandra Hally (A voice for the sea.)

Such a special place! Emily at the front desk was so welcoming and such a ray of sunshine! Alexis was my massage therapist she was so talented and really took her time to address my needs. Very clean and very well run business, cant wait to be back!

Casey Overcash Nifong

Just a beautiful experience. Sauna House offers an atmosphere for healing and relaxation with an incredible sauna, infrared sauna and cold plunge that is perfect after an intense workout or just a long work week. So glad to have the Sauna House in Asheville!

Natalie Wallenberg

What's not to love about this place? Calming, clean, green space to detox & relax. There's showers, lockers, heated benches, & tea. Also the music is always on point. I enjoy going in the evening or after working out & tend to bring a book. Once everything is said and done I'm there for 2 hours, although you can stay as long as you desire.

Candy Irven

Four words for you: sauna, cold plunge....duh! I love this place! The vibe is chill. The music is hot. The people are real.

Michael Roloson

We stayed at the condos across the street during a visit to Asheveille and checked this place out. It was an unexpected highlight of our visit. Everyone was able to relax and unwind after visiting the breweries. I especially loved the polar plunge and heated benches. We we liked it so much we went through 3 cycles. Ordered a Guava Tea and timed it just right to be ready after the third cycle. We will definitely be back the next time we are in Asheville.

Brayden Pitcairn

My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our time spent here! You leave with a lovely buzz of bodily energy, saying thank you for taking me here and treating me to this lovely, rejuvenating experience. The attention to detail, from the color of the shower heads to the flow of traffic throughout the building to the ethically sourced products and goods, provided and sold, seems so well thought out. The kind of place you look around and think, "Gosh a lot of hard-work went into this." We will certainly be back.

bryant aucoin

Enjoyed my experience very much, simple, clean, modern design, and a very kind and professional staff made for a great few rounds of sauna and cold plunge. They said they are expanding downstairs, very excited to see what they add.

Elizabeth Brantley

Bada Bastu is a one of a kind experience. This was my very first time at a bathhouse and it exceeded my expectations. The staff was very kind and helpful and the facility is beautiful and clean. This is an excellent spot to check off if you are visiting Asheville and wanting an affordable and innovative spa experience. And if you’re a local, don’t hesitate to drop in and soak away your troubles after a long, hard day. I will also add their tea selection is lovely. I hope to visit Bada Bastu again.

L DiYeso

I cannot speak enough to the care that was put into the creation of this space. It’s obvious everywhere. This place is awesome! Serene and clean. Modern and functional. A place to have your cares melt away. Will definitely be coming back time and time again. An amazing addition to the downtown Asheville landscape. Be sure to check them out. You won’t be disappointed.

Tony Ubertaccio

I think Bada Bastu is 10/10. Clean, welcoming, and a wonderful facility. While Hot, Cold, Relax treatments are relatively new in the States this place makes it feel completely accessable. By the end of our fist visit, it felt like something we've always needed and just needed access to. Can wait to return.

Jennifer Ware

A friend gave me a this as a birthday gift! Love the vibe - very relaxing and the cold plunge was amazing. Excellent staff that guides you through the process. They are doing an excellent job especially following the health mandates.

Allison Hallman

Bada Bastu is a real gem in Asheville. The asthetics, ambiance, and offerings, through their products and services, are all tops. Alexis Dunn is a massage therapist there and she is phenomenal! There's a lounge space with incredible thermal technology that enhances the relaxation experience as you relax between moving through the sauna, shower, plunge experience. The community sauna space is awesome, the whole nordic experience is really a treat to have in the area and I would love to come and enjoy the benefits as much as I possibly can because they are known and FELT there! Thank you for bringing this to the community and for sharing this timeless practice.

Craig Deutsch

I can't recommend this place enough. Clean, calm, and well-planned place. A great place for community connection. Extremely relaxing and rejuvenating. Everyone should check out Sauna House. You won't be disappointed.

Ryan Valente

Can't say enough about this place and its staff. The facilities are first class and the staff is super friendly and accommodating. Perfect way to recharge after a day spent brewery hopping! Can't recommend highly enough!

Love love this place! Peaceful & quiet! Warm and relaxing! With an invigorating cold plunge! We had our company holiday party here! Excellent! With chair massages by Alexis! She is a goddess!

My husband and I had the best experience here. It’s so relaxing and I felt better immediately and only after one session- I can tell this is going to be very addicting. So happy to have this business here in Asheville.

Bada Bastu is such an incredible value-add to the Asheville community! This is a business and a place of healing and relaxation that I'd always hoped would come to Asheville, and now it's here, courtesy of hardworking Andrew and his amazing team. The facilities are immaculately kept, the environment soothing and rejuvenating, and the overall experience one of tranquility and rejuvenation. The cold plunge is a total game-changer and a must-do during any visit to Bada Bastu!

I highly recommend Sauna House! The infrared sauna is absolutely AMAZING if you have an autoimmune disease.

Yaser Ebrahimi

A legit Sauna house with an incredible cold water in ground jacuzzi… so crisp so cold, invigorating. I totally wish I had one of these in my home state.

Lizzie Cisa

Everything about this place echoes all the stars in the world. I have not yet had the privilege of receiving care from Bada Batsu but as a local and employee of a business around the corner, I’ve been telling my co-workers about how we should all spend some rejuvating time here. I hope March is the month we can make that happen either as a team or individually! I look forward to meeting the woman I met on my walk home one evening! 💥

This place is truly unbelievable. A sublime and relaxing space with the most beautiful touches throughout. Their staff are without a doubt the most friendly in town. For only $26 this spot is a gem in downtown Asheville!

Wow, this place understands health. It is evident in the way they've constructed their space, the vibrant health of each employee, and the email messages demonstrating the scientific-based health benefits. A brief deep dive... The benefits of hot-cold therapy cannot be understated: the vascular benefit of vasodilation in heat followed by vasoconstriction in cold is tremendous for the medium sized vessels that are the primary regulators of blood pressure and cardiovascular resistance. By regularly exercising the smooth muscle contraction (vasoconstriction when cold) and smooth muscle relaxation (vasodilation when hot), you improve the intrinsic vessel compliance and elasticity of your arteries and veins. You also are exercising the body’s ability to shunt blood centrally and superficially. Through these cycles of hot/cold you can mitigate and prevent the damaging effects of atherosclerosis and vessel damage. Going even deeper... On a molecular level you exercise the DNA transcription and translation of the genes that regulate these hemodynamic changes. This includes signal cascades of immense complexity to eventually form nitric oxide and adenosine for relaxing the vessels and calcium release for contracting them. Genes that get balanced and increased expression through stimulating signals are more robust—this is the basis for epigenetics. In mammalian biology circulation is everything. If you can get blood there, you can heal, change, and improve really anything—problems arise when there are blocks or decreases to flow (think of the devastating vascular effects of diabetes). An axiom to remember is "all rivers need to flow.” This is true of blood, lymph, cerebrospinal fluid, sweat, digestion, urination, breath, endocrine system (hormones), energy, etc. A part of your nervous system called the autonomic system also gets exercise through this stimulation. These are the wings of sympathetic (fight or flight) and parasympathetic (rest and digest) that are both activated in the sauna and cold tub. I could go on, but these are just a few of the main benefits of hot/cold therapy and I have still not covered the immunomodulatory and immunotherapeutic benefits derived from regular use--and today this is a pretty important topic globally. The owners/designers keep you up-to-date on COVID concerns and how they are mitigating contact--I feel safe, clean, and valued each time I go. HIGHLY RECOMMEDED!!

Sauna dreams become reality here. Wish I could go every week. So relaxing. I love the beverage options, ambiance and simplicity.

Sid Vicious

Customer service is excellent

Jeffrey Brown

An amazing way to relax and recover. Facility are well maintained and staff are friendly and knowledgeable. I particularly liked that there was a quiet area downstairs in addition to the main floor. Saunas have plenty of room so you don't feel cramped and the cold plunge is big enough to accommodate multiple people if need be. The heated chairs in the main area are also a nice tough and provide a relaxing place to sit in between plunges and the sauna

Hiker Shirl

My first visit was on a week night with a friend, approx 6-8 pm. We used the communal sauna and ice plunge so it was $40. Got one large towel and smaller towels are available as needed. Plenty of lockers available. We wore our swimsuits there, took a cold shower as suggested before entering the sauna. The sauna on the main level allows talking and it was quite full so we went downstairs to the silent, no talking sauna. It all appeared quite clean although the floors got wetter as the night went on. Ice plunge was cold as expected, more cold showers in between and heated plastic sofas and chairs to rest on in the open common area on the main level. There is an ice plunge pool on both levels. The heat and cold was therapeutic for my bad knee. It was an interesting place to people watch. If you think you want to go frequently they have package plans. Also nice lotions , etc for sale near the check in.

Serious Lee

Love the sauna house. I visit this place almost every time I go to Asheville. Great saunas, cold plunge is still something I'm working up to lol. The downstairs area is my most favorite. Great staff too. They are very friendly.
