The Sauna Cycle
HEAT UP, COOL DOWN, AND REPEAT- A SIMPLE TRADITION ENJOYED AROUND THE WORLD
Most guests follow a natural cycle during their 60-minute session, moving between the warmth of the sauna and fresh air outside.
Heat up- Sit comfortably inside the wood-fired barrel sauna and enjoy the warmth as the stove heats the stones.
Add steam (löyly)- Guests can pour water over the hot stones to create steam, adding humidity and intensifying the heat.
Cool down- Step outside to cool off. Depending on the location and season, guests might relax in the fresh air, take a cold plunge, or even cool down in the snow.
Relax and repeat- Most people enjoy two to four rounds during their session, alternating between heat and cooling for a refreshing contrast.
What to Expect
Guests arrive to a fully heated wood-fired barrel sauna, ready to enjoy from the moment their session begins. The warm cedar interior and radiant heat from the stove create a relaxing environment that encourages you to slow down and unwind.
Private sauna sessions are designed to be simple and comfortable for small groups, with seating for 8 people or about 10 friends inside the sauna.
Your Session Includes
Drinking water is free for guests
Changing tent for privacy
Outdoor chairs for relaxing between sauna rounds
Cold plunge options, depending on the location and season
What to Wear
Guests typically enjoy the sauna wearing swimsuits or light cotton clothing, especially when using the cold plunge or cooling off outdoors.
Sessions are relaxed and self-paced. Guests can step outside to cool down whenever they feel ready before returning to the warmth of the sauna. Most people repeat this sauna cycle 4–5 times an hour while relaxing between rounds.
Wood-Fired Heat
The sauna is heated with a traditional wood-fired stove, which produces a gentle, radiant heat that builds naturally over time. Guests are welcome to pour water over the hot stones to create steam, known as löyly, adding moisture and intensifying the warmth.
This natural heat is part of what makes the wood-fired sauna experience so unique and enjoyable.
Why People Love Sauna
Relaxation and Stress Relief
The gentle heat of a wood-fired sauna encourages the body to relax. Muscles loosen, breathing slows, and many guests find it easier to disconnect from daily stress while sitting quietly in the warmth.
Recovery After Activity
Sauna is often used after exercise or outdoor activities. Runners, cyclists, and active guests enjoy the way heat helps muscles relax after workouts, long days on the trail, or time spent exploring Northeast Wisconsin.
Time With Friends
Sauna has long been a social tradition. Sitting together, sharing conversation, and stepping outside to cool down between rounds creates a relaxed atmosphere that’s perfect for small groups of friends.
First Time Using a Sauna?
If this is your first time using a sauna, there’s nothing complicated to learn. The experience is relaxed and self-paced, and most guests quickly find a rhythm that feels comfortable for them.
Simply sit back, enjoy the warmth, and step outside whenever you feel ready to cool down.
Go at Your Own Pace
Everyone experiences sauna differently. Some guests enjoy longer rounds of heat, while others prefer shorter visits with more cooling breaks. Listen to your body and take breaks whenever you like.
Help Is Always Nearby
Your sauna host will check in occasionally during your session to make sure everything is running smoothly. If you have questions about the stove, steam, or the cold plunge, help is always close by.
No Experience Required
Wood-fired sauna is beginner-friendly and easy to enjoy. Whether it’s your first time or you’re already familiar with sauna traditions, the experience is designed to be simple, comfortable, and relaxing.
