Crafted from 100% Canadian cedar, the sauna’s woodsy and earthy aromas fill the air. It’s a wood that naturally absorbs moisture and softens the heat.

An outdoor spa made for connection

Some people retreat into the quiet warmth of saunas or spas. Others soak and socialize. How you spend your time luxuriating in our Nordic spa is really up to you.

Ours is a place for community and an opportunity for deeper connection, both with yourself and those around you. Light a candle, jot down intentions, or create a quiet moment of reflection. Alternate between hot, cold, and soothing warmth to reset. Repeat it up to three times for total benefits.

Plus Skylark & Owl robes are available for rent or purchase.
