“Found this rec here, so I booked a day admission while on vacation with family. I did the thermal cycles and it was just an absolutely blissful experience. Thank you”

“I almost don't want to recommend this to keep the crowds down, but what an oasis...soaking in pods of four different-temperatured pools (hot to cold) under oak trees....hammocks...fire pits...NO technology allowed...and NO talking. Just love....discounted rates during the week after 4PM.”
