Bring swimwear and a towel
You’ll want to jump into the lake after your sauna session, so come prepared to get wet and dry off comfortably.
Arrive early to warm the sauna
The wood-fired sauna requires time to heat up, so plan to arrive early and enjoy the process of stoking the fire.
Plan group size carefully
The sauna accommodates six people; booking as a full group ensures comfort and privacy during your experience.
Be mindful of lake conditions
While the lake is generally safe for swimming, check water temperatures and weather, especially outside summer months.
