/ Finnish style sauna can range between 165-210 degrees F depending on preference. Water can be added to rocks to create steam, or ‘löyly’ in Finnish.
/ Options to cold plunge or cool down between sessions including lake, rain buckets, showers, or cold plunge tubs pending weather conditions.
/ Private or communal sessions, single bookings or memberships / packages.
/ Areas to change or store clothes and items.
/ Restroom and F&B facilities.
Why Sauna & Cold Plunge?
Known as the thermal cycle, it involves alternating between 165 - 210℉ heat and 40 - 60℉ water.
Good for you / Regular practice has been shown to reduce the risk of stroke and hypertension. Promotes muscle relaxation & eliminates lactic acid after exercising.
You feel good / Promotes deeper sleep and regulates cortisol levels. You get a sense of accomplishment and increased stamina through ‘good’ or hormetic stress.
It’s fun! / Zone out and relax or connect with others face-to-face. Get outside and enjoy the natural elements!
About
We believe in the transformative power of heat and cold to connect us - to ourselves, to each other, and to nature.
For our founder, Erik, it was also a connection to his Norwegian heritage and family.
Norway is undergoing a sauna revival, where saunas and cold plunges are an integral draw for international tourists and a cherished pastime for locals. We are excited to bring this experience to new frontiers.

FAQs
-
No! You can come in and out of the sauna at your own place during your booked session time. It is recommended to be in the sauna between 8-12 minutes at a time, with a maximum of 15 minutes. This allows your body to fully heat up safely.
It is also recommended to cool down between sessions for about as long as you were in the sauna, first by being out of the sauna then taking a dip in the lake or with a cold shower.
45 minutes provides most with enough time for 3 hot and cold sessions.

Sauna / cold plunge is undergoing a global boom fueled by tourism to countries with thermal bathing heritage (e.g. Norway, Finland) and widespread interest in wellness, relaxation, and authentic experiences.
Saunas are expanding from the confines of hotels, spas and basements to become full experiences that compliment the social and natural aspects of our favorite gathering spots as well as providing a refuge from the bustle and phone scrolling of every day life.

-
No! This is a Finnish style sauna, which uses heated rocks to generate the heat compared to infrared lighting.
This creates a much higher temperature than infrared (165°F - 215°F compared to 120°F -140°F).
It also allows water, with or without aromatic oils, to be poured on the rocks to increase the temperature and humidity. This is known as ‘löyly’ in the Finnish language and is an essential, almost sacred requirement of a proper sauna.
-
We allow cancellation or rescheduling with at least 24 hours notice. You can do this from the confirmation email you receive after booking.
-
The barrel sauna at Indian Crossing Restaurant Waterfront comfortably fits 8 people. By booking ‘Open sessions' of less than 8 spots, it is possible that you will be sharing the sauna with others during your session. You can see how many spots are left in each timeslot by clicking Book on the booking page.
If you would like to ensure a private sauna for your group, please choose the ‘Up to 4 People’ or the ‘Up to 8 People’ sessions as opposed to the ‘Open Sessions.’

No! This is a myth. It would be very impractical in battle. They did drink out of horns, as well as their enemies skulls, hence the term ‘skull’ when cheersing and clinking glasses for a toast.
