Planning a visit
We're small, we're quiet about where we are, and we like it that way. Here's what to expect and how to arrange a session.
We take bookings by appointment and by introduction. The short version: if you've been here before, or a previous guest has pointed you our way, get in touch through them and we'll find you a slot. We hold most weekends for returning guests; weekday afternoons are usually where newcomers land first.
Currently serving existing guests and their introductions. New engagements considered through existing relationships.
We provide towels, robes, a sauna ladle, water, and a pot of hot tisane on the side-table. Soap and shampoo in the outdoor shower are unscented and made by a neighbor.
The property is roughly forty minutes from the nearest small town, along a two-lane road that turns to gravel for the last mile and a half. You'll receive exact directions when your booking is confirmed — we don't publish the turn-off, because the mailbox is easy to miss and we'd rather not be found by accident.
Drive slowly on the last stretch. It's moose country, and not just ours.
Most guests arrive twenty minutes before their session, change unhurriedly, and step into the cabin to find it already warm. You'll cycle — hot room, plunge or cool-down on the deck, rest, repeat — as many times as feels right. An hour in, we'll usually bring a kettle of water for the stones and leave you to it.
When your time is up, there's no bell. We simply walk over when the session ends and ask whether you'd like one more round, a longer rest, or the shower. The answer is almost always "one more round."
Yes — we write them out on heavy paper, by hand, and mail them in a stamped envelope. Ask your introducing guest to pass the request along and we'll take care of the rest.
We'll keep the fire going. Come when you can.
