Heat. Reset. Recover.

The Sauna

Designed for recovery and restoration, our sauna offers a private, refined space to slow down and reset. Whether before the lounge or after a long day, the experience is deliberate and uninterrupted.

Reserve Now

The Space

 Lined in warm cedar, the sauna surrounds you with natural aroma and steady heat. Soft ambient lighting, built-in towel niches, and classic sand timers create a focused, restorative environment. A precision thermometer keeps the temperature controlled — exactly as it should be.

The Heat

 At the heart of the sauna is the Kuuma BLUFLAME — a high-efficiency, clean-burning wood stove built in Minnesota from American steel. Known for its durability and performance, it delivers steady, authentic heat the way it was meant to be experienced.Engineered to burn wood better — and built to last.

The Experience

 Step into focused heat and let the rhythm settle in. Between cycles, unwind in our relaxation rooms or common area, where drink and cigar service continues the ritual. Refresh in private shower facilities with complimentary towels and robes, and enhance your session with optional essential oils guided by our trained staff.

Designed for recovery – Built for intention –  Meant to be savored

Frequently Asked Questions

Please reach us at 440-240-8469 if you don't find the answers that you are looking for.

Although you should be drinking plenty of water daily, we suggest that you hydrate more than normal within 24 hours of your session.  Doing this will help you sweat and keep the hydration levels safe.  It is also suggested that you do not consume alcohol directly before or after a sauna use. 


Please bring a water bottle and a towel that you are comfortable with wearing in the Sauna.  We'll handle the rest.


It is possible that there will be shared time in the sauna. You can respectfully join the other guests, or wait till they are done.  Completely up to you and your comfort level. 


You can let a staff member know of your concern, however, we like to keep the sauna at approximately 170 degrees and roughly 30 percent humidity for the first round.  For optimum sweating, we like to see humidity in the range of 50-60 percent humidity for a short period of time to start the sweating process. 


No, it is only suggested to hydrate after your sauna session when you are cooling down. If you do take a water vessel in the sauna it will get very hot and could cause burns or other injuries. 


Arrive a few minutes prior to your scheduled time and stop at the bar to pay and to sign a waiver. 


Yes, 1 session is fine, however, it is suggested that you sauna between 2 and 4 times. No more than 15 minutes each sauna.
