What to Expect

Our sessions are 90 minutes long. Each session will have a structure similar to this: 

 

  • Sauna for 10-15 minutes 

  • Cold plunge for 1-3 minutes 

  • Rest - walk barefoot on the grass for a minute or two, enjoy the lake

  • Repeat

 

Ultimately, you must listen to your body. Our bodies will acclimate to this activity, but it takes repetition. For your first session, we have noticed most people can only be in the sauna for 5-7 minutes and in the cold plunge for 10-30 seconds. 

 

We hope you enjoy the experience so much you come back! As you do so, you’ll notice your body being able to stay in the sauna and cold plunge for longer periods of time. 

 

Take time to enjoy the sights and sounds of nature surrounding you, enjoy a quiet moment by the camp fire or resting by the lake. This time is for you to do what your body needs to get rejuvenated.

Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

What should I bring?

​

  • 2 Towels (one to sit on inside the sauna and another to dry and change with)

  • 1 Bathing Suit (ideally worn upon arrival as the sauna's changing room is tight)

  • 1 Refillable Water Bottle

​

What will my first visit be like? 

​

On your first visit we will give you a tour of the space, how everything works and answer any questions you may have. Once you have been here a few times your session will be more hands off and you'll hopefully treat this as your home away from home!​

 

How should I think about using the time? 

​

  • Sauna for 10-15 minutes 

  • Cold plunge for 1-3 minutes 

  • Rest - walk amongst nature for a minute or two

  • Repeat

​

In a 90 minute session you can expect to do this cycle 3-6 times, depending on how you feel that day.

​

The cold plunge gets easier after the first cycle.

 

​What exactly is a thermal cycle?

​

Thermal cycle is the process of heating your body up and then rapidly cooling it down. This extreme change in temperature is like a workout for all your internal organs and blood vessels. Your body adapts to the heat and the cold in an amazing way. Usually our guests feel a sense of calm and peace after their first cold plunge. Some even call it a euphoric feeling. 

 

Any medical stuff I should be aware of?

​

First off, if you are concerned, please consult your primary care physician. Secondly, please, at all times, listen to your body. When your body is communicating it needs a break, please listen, don’t push yourself and take a break. 

​

If you experience any light headedness in the sauna, please remove yourself immediately. We recommend you drink lots of water. 

 

Is there an age limit?

​

At this time, the facility is for our guests who are 18 and over. If you have children over 13 and think they'd enjoy this with you, please talk to us!
