Do your future self a favor and book a bathing experience now! - restorative pool, steam room, sauna, cold dip and salt scrub showers with restful seating and hot tea or water. Surrounded with calming, low lighting, gorgeous projections and calming ambient sound. Just go be in the moment and peaceful. Staff are super nice and helpful and the facility is world-class honestly (I visit bath houses in every city I visit and Watershed Spa stands out among the best of the best for comfort, cleanliness, design and feel)

Best massages, deeply relaxing atmosphere, and a great sense of balance after the pools, sauna, steam room, and tea❤️ I love the salt scrub and lotion to use as well, also music and how quiet it is, and the scenery. The bathrooms and dressing rooms are so clean and they use good products. The details make this place amazing, so excited to go everytime❤️

Very cute space, took a while to get a reservation for a day that worked, hopefully easier to get a reservation with their expansion coming. PARKING was my only iffy thing about being downtown, it’s a quiet area but street parking is a must so be aware of that. (They provide towels/flipflops/combs/body wash/salt scrub/water/tea - I recommend bringing your own lotion for after drying off)

I found HEAVEN 😍 Absolutely fabulous! Fantastic! Will exceed your expectations!! I can’t say enough good things about how amazing the people are, the ambiance, and the experience!! My masseuse was Kelly and she was phenomenal!! Seriously the best!! I’ve had dozens of massages from dozens of different places and I have to say this one was definitely one of the best I’ve ever had!! From the pressure she used, the areas she focused on, the music was very relaxing, and the bed/table was extremely comfortable and the perfect temperature!! The bathhouse experience was PHENOMENAL!! That was the most relaxing environment and experience I’ve ever had!! I can’t wait to go back!!! 😍😍

UPDATE: I connected with the GM at Watershed after posting my initial review. She generously offered me another chance to get a massage at the spa. This second massage from Savita was great. Appreciate the compassionate customer service from Sandy and the desire to make things right following a less than stellar first experience. Lovely space and ambiance, but I had the worse massage of my life here with Izzy. I told her what I wanted (long overdue for massage, going through a lot of stress, seeking moderate to hard pressure). Immediately, she used a very light touch. I asked for more pressure, and she obliged but it was still very light. I repeatedly asked her 4-5 times for more pressure but she really never did and I was tired of asking 20min into it. She seemed distracted, uninterested throughout. It was a two hour massage that had been gifted to me. I will not be returning here. 😭

What an amazing spot! I’ve been here before for a yoga class and bathhouse experience so when I was looking for a birthday idea, this was the spot. They book out fast for private events so I was sure to correspond fast this year. The event coordinator was very responsive and covered all the bases. Once we arrived, the staff was incredible from top to bottom, set up all my guests, food, beverage and music. The space was beyond what everyone expected. Everyone had a good time and it was nice to have something different for our group. Our 3 hour reservation was a great amount of time. The late night soak was perfect for everyone to go home and relax into bed. Thanks again to the wonderful staff. They encouraged a good time and were available the entire time with any needs. 1000% would recommend this activity to everyone!

I’m just obsessed with this place. If I could be here every day I would. I’ve seen a lot of the different therapist and they’ve all been wonderful. Everyone has a different style but specifically I’ve been seeing Izzy regularly for the last year and she’s so sweet and down to earth and does a really great job at paying attention to my body and putting in special care where it is needed. She clearly really takes pride in her work and does a great job. When I don’t see her for too long, I regret it! She’s great. I really appreciate the hard work that goes in to this space and intentionality from the service providers here.
