SAVASAUNA

6-8 adults at one time. People can also rotate using the sauna while others are cooling down outside.

In addition to the sauna your rental will include two bundles of firewood for each day, portable outdoor shower, bucket with water ladle for carefully pouring water on stones to add steam, solar powered mood lighting, and a one person cold-plunge (if water is accessible). We also will supply up to 6 chairs for when you wish to cool down outside.

We ask that you arrive showered and clean when ready to use the sauna. Please refrain from wearing strong fragrances inside the sauna. We fully clean and dry the sauna with non-toxic materials after each session. Once the sauna is cleaned, we heat it back up to 200 °F which further works as a self-cleaning tool due to its high temperature.

No. The sauna is wood-fired and not electric. All lighting both inside the sauna and in the changing room is solar powered.

While we encourage you to stay as hydrated as possible, please do not eat or drink inside the sauna. We want to provide the most sanitary experience for our clients and ask that food remain outside the sauna and changing room.

Please remove your shoes prior to entering the sauna in order to keep it clean. A changing space will be provided.

Any metal objects including jewelry, cell-phones, electronics, as this retains heat and serious injury may occur. Alcohol, smoking, e-cigarettes, illicit drugs, and any glass is not permitted inside the sauna.

Each guest that uses the sauna should plan to bring a bathing suit, sandals or flip flops, 2 towels (one towel to sit on as the benches get hot) and a water bottle to stay hydrated.

Our air tight wood-fired stove is made from 100% American steel. Our stove provides excellent heat and a significant level of steam for that authentic sauna experience in true Finnish style. Please do not touch the stove or stones due to extreme heat. When pouring water on the stove to create steam this should be done slowly to avoid any serious burns.

We recommend to use the sauna in 10–15 minute intervals to avoid overheating. After you use the sauna for 10-15 minutes take a break by stepping outside the sauna to cool down. This is called thermoregulatory therapy. We recommend to alternate sauna use followed by spending time outdoors or using the cold plunge to lower your body temperature before stepping back into the sauna.

We ask that adults over the age of 18 use our sauna and do not allow use for any minors. Consult your physician if you have any questions prior to using the sauna.

Sauna therapy is not a contest. If you feel any signs of dizziness, lethargy, muscle weakness, heart palpitations, chest pain, headaches, shortness of breath, visual changes, pain, cold chills, nausea, vomiting, or any other discomfort please step out of the sauna. If you have acute, chronic, or pre-existing medical conditions please speak with your health care provider prior to using the sauna. We ask that you listen to your body and discontinue your sauna session if it does not feel right for you. Overall, sauna use has a good safety profile, however everyone’s tolerance to heat and every individual’s body is different.
