About our saunas

Traditional Finnish sauna has a wood fired stove with some rocks on top. We start the stoves an hour or two before we open so they are nice and hot, about 160 degrees more or less. The air has a nice smokey smell to it. You may want to throw a ladle of hot water on the stones to make steam. This will increase the room temperature as the invisible wall of steam moves across from stove to bench and you will feel it. I like to do two or three rounds of hot sauna alternating with cold plunges into the pool in between. Some good things to bring to your sauna may include salt scrubs, brushes, soap as you want to do a thorough scrub down towards the end of your sauna session to really clean your skin. The heat and sweat make for good exfoliating, and the oils that come to the skin surface will make it satiny smooth, even without any lotion. You will sleep like a baby after a sauna, and don't forget the gatorade and pretzels!
