We had an amazing experience at this banya! The location is absolutely stunning—truly a paradise to escape to. We spent two unforgettable days here, and everything exceeded our expectations. The banya itself was very hot and well-maintained, and the cold plunge was the perfect way to cool down and refresh. You can also order additional services to enhance your stay, making it even more special. The house next to the banya is cozy and spacious, comfortably accommodating up to 8 people if needed. The host was exceptional—attentive, welcoming, and ensured everything was just right. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a rejuvenating getaway. I can't wait to go back!

A visit to the bathhouse was an absolutely rejuvenating experience! The soothing heat, combined with the refreshing plunges into cool water, created a perfect balance of relaxation and invigoration. The atmosphere was cozy and inviting, with a mix of traditional charm and modern comfort. Spending time in the steam room felt like a true reset for both body and mind. Highly recommend it to anyone looking to unwind and recharge in a unique way!

My family and I thoroughly enjoyed our glamping experience. The location was excellent, being close to both 'Chimney Rock' and 'Lake Lure,' where we hiked up the mountain before heading to the banya and glamping site (only a 35-minute drive away). The banya itself was clean and provided me with the best banya experience! Inside the tent, the bed was comfortable, and we had cozy blankets. The soothing sounds of nature at night and the fresh air helped me drift off to sleep easily. Communication with the owner was also effortless. Furthermore, we relished the breakfast, which included steel-cut oats, organic eggs, local honey, homemade bread, cake, and cheese. I highly recommend it!
