Bear & Doe Banya Spa

BEST MASSAGE!!! I was in Jackson Hole on vacation and wanted to get a massage. The spa at our hotel was booked and recommended Bear and Doe.
I booked a 50 minute deep tissue massage with Sherry. As someone who gets a massage roughly once a month, I can say without hesitation that Sherry gave me probably the most outstanding massage of my life. Seriously. The pressure was dead on and she knew how to get into those trouble spots.
The only negative? Wishing I had time to tack on and make it an 80 minute massage! If we get more downtime while we are here, I’m definitely going back. Thank you Gary and Sherry for a wonderful, relaxing day!

Just went to the newly renovated Bear and Doe Banya Spa. I’ve had many spa, sauna, and massage experiences around the world from Asia SE Asia S America EU and here in US. This is a WONDERFUL boutique day spa. Fantastic experience, where they truly understand healing, detox, and an amazing variety of healing treatments. Beautiful facilities and remarkable service! I also LOVED the healing organic tea! Will DEFINITELY be back when I’m in Jackson again :)

I came for the massage, I stayed for the Banya. After 5 days of snowboarding in Jackson Hole I was in dire need of relief. The massage was a mix of deep tissue and Swedish and just what I needed. Later that day I returned for their Banya. After a brief explanation on how the process is supposed to work, it was game on. The super hot sauna w/​the aroma of eucalyptus was relaxing, following that w/​a dunk in the COLD pool outsite you were awake and feeling great.
I highly recommend anyone and everyone give this place a try!

Fantastic Banya Spa experience. I’ve received several Ashiatsu massages from Lisa in the past but this was my first Banya experience with Gary. This is not a Four Seasons spa so don’t go expecting that. It’s a fantastic spa with the proprietors providing all the services in a quaint house near the performing arts center. I highly recommend the the full Banya with dry sauna and Russian venik oak leave treatment followed by Romanian mud wrap and steam sauna.

Great sports massage by Gary. He was very knowledgeable about the body and gave me great advice about the things I can do for continuing heath for my muscles and joints. I would highly recommend this place!

After a big week in town, I was treated by Audrey at Bear and Doe for what was originally a 60 minute massage but after 15 minutes of her amazing talent, it quickly turned into 1.5 hour massage. I would have stayed for 3 hours if I could!
I’ve had a variety of massages in the past ranging all over the board. Audrey listened to what was bothering me and how deep of a massage I wanted and worked accordingly. I walked out like an absolute zombie I felt to great!
Not only that, I even won a promotional event they were having and got myself a honey wrap and Banya spa treatment for tomorrow! My day couldn’t have gone better if I tried!

Wonderful down to earth spa owner Gary took excellent care of my wife and I at the spa! Great massage, super sauna, and private steam room. Taken care of our entire time at the spa, customer service seemed very important to the staff. Not to snobby, not to laid back, just right. We will book this spa EVERY trip we take to Jackson, WY! Highly recommended!

I look forward to going here every year on my annual January ski trip. Gary’s massages are very deep and therapeutic. You definitely need to be a fan of deep work, but for me, it’s the only way to go. Can’t wait to try the new Banya Spa!

#1 (CON): I got a massage here by a man named Gary. Bless his heart, but I don’t think he was put on this earth to give massages. Rough hands. I kept telling him he was hurting me and he kept administering the most thumby massage I have ever received. It was painful and then of course awkward. I also told him what areas needed attention at the beginning and he only addressed, for example, the many knots in my back, ONCE, like one second, in the whole 60min massage. Not a very intuitive masseuse.
#2 (PRO): They have a sweat lodge! This was the coolest thing since sliced bread for me. I got a mud wrap (don’t wear your favorite swimsuit, it’ll have sediment in it for quite a while and smell like the mud) and then they take you out for a couple of steps in the chilly snow to a tee pee with a sauna unit in the middle. SO fun!
#3 Ambiance: It’s a total mom and pop shop that has not been renovated in years. It feels like someone’s home they have converted to a business. Definitely needs a facelift.

I went to Bear and Doe for the Thai Foot Massage after having it recommended to me by lots of local folks. The place is very laid back and no nonsense. If you like the whole spa «experience,» it may not be the best for you. BUT it was one of the best massages I’ve ever had and you can’t beat the price. Highly recommended!
