I love this cutie little sauna in the woods that is clothing optional. Simple and effective, this little 4 personal sauna allows you to add water to the rocks to create steam. Cooling off options are a gorgeous outdoor shower or just resting on the seat outside. No frills, just good vibes. Vela provides a basket for your personal items, towel, and optional sandals. I didn't see lockers. I didn't have a massage but maybe one day. I would definitely come back for a little sauna-ing! Price: $30/1hr - they want you to complete showering and dressing within the hour time slot.
I had a customized facial with Suzanne, and she did an absolutely amazing job! The location is cute and charming with great amenities and all of the staff are very friendly and attentive.
I received a facial from Jenn today and it was heavenly. She is a kind, gentle and a highly professional skin care specialist. She helped me understand some of the face creams I use and how and when I should use the products. Thank you.
