Discover the thrill of winter wellness with SauNice’s private sauna at Lake Johanna. Combining hot and cold therapy in a stunning natural setting, it’s your perfect seasonal escape.
SauNice is a mobile sauna and winter-wellness provider based in Arden Hills, Minnesota. The company operates wood-fired mobile saunas and a Backyard Banya shed, offering private 60-minute rentals and per-seat group events that combine heat, cold plunges, and social relaxation. SauNice's services include private Black Bear sauna bookings, mobile cabin saunas, themed units like The Zoo, and seasonal group events at Lake Johanna Beach.
Sessions at Lake Johanna run Sundays from November through April, where guests alternate between the hot sauna and an ice-hole plunge in Ramsey County Parks. Private rentals are hosted by a dedicated attendant who manages the wood-burning stove, safety, and guest comfort. The Backyard Banya experience transforms a shed into a cozy hotroom and lounge with plunge options, complimentary non-alcoholic beverages, and food provided as group sizes increase.
SauNice emphasizes safety, stewardship of public park spaces, and community wellness. The mobile saunas are designed for small groups and celebrations, making them suitable for friends, family gatherings, and milestone events. Booking options include per-seat group slots and full-unit private reservations for a single 60-minute session.
Located in Arden Hills, SauNice serves local residents and visitors seeking authentic hot-and-cold Nordic sauna traditions in Minnesota. The business presents a reliable, hosted sauna option with natural wood heat, guided plunge rhythm, and accessible bookings that support both seasonal group rituals and private celebrations. Reservations are made online or by phone, and scheduling accommodates weekend and weekday availability when units and hosts are available. Local permits and safety checks are observed.
