Hey Kaylia, thank you for leaving a review and sharing such a lovely picture of our sauna in the evenings! It's so magical!
Always good to try something new! Lovely, fun experience in a well thought out, relaxing vibe. The sauna was fab, with a short, quick walk down to the lake for the cold plunge dip (which we did in -2 degrees!). Highly recommend!
Hey Nicki, Thanks for taking the time to leave us a review. We are glad you enjoyed the experience, love that you tried something new and well done for braving the river (IN WINTER!!)
Beautiful spot on the lake and lovely host. Only concern was that 8 of us were crammed into a very small sauna, where we think 4-6 people should’ve been the maximum. We were touching the people on either side of us and some of our group were sat in the corner right next to the burner and it was hard to not touch it and get burnt. Felt like a bit of a safety concern. But if there were less people inside this would’ve been perfect - otherwise great experience!
Hey Avya, Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us your thoughtful feedback. We really appreciate it. We're glad you enjoyed the lakeside setting and your overall experience. Our saunas are designed to create a traditional, intimate, community-style experience, which is part of what makes them so special. That said, we completely understand your comments around comfort and safety when the sauna is at full capacity, and we appreciate you sharing your perspective. We're already looking at reducing the capacity for private and group bookings once our new sauna arrives in October, which will give us more flexibility and create a more comfortable experience for everyone. Thanks again for your feedback, and we hope to welcome you back for another sauna soon.
Hey Natasha, Thanks for leaving this review, it is so simple but hits the nail on the head! Thanks for being part of the magic!!
