What we offer
Every booking includes wood for the stove, linen towels, the Vestibule changing house, the dock and the rinsing porch, a ladle of spruce-tip tisane, and as much lake as you can handle. No upsells, no add-ons hidden behind extra fees.
Two-hour session in our original cabin, up to six guests. The Big Moose has a three-tier bench arrangement around an east-facing cast-iron kiuas — upper bench runs 82–88°C, middle around 72°C, the lower step is where you land if you need a minute. You'll likely be sharing with one or two other parties; we curate who's in the room to keep the tone quiet.
Two hours · up to 6 guests · swimsuits required in shared hours · full plunge access
Our smaller cabin, booked privately for you and up to three others. Same wood stove (a slightly smaller kiuas but the same granite), same lake, just yours. The Calf has a porthole window over the upper bench that looks straight at the dock — most of our return guests settle into this one and rarely go back to shared hours.
Two and a half hours · up to 4 guests · swimsuit-optional in private bookings · whisks on request
For the cold-water devoted. Access to the dock, the spruce ladder, the rinsing porch, and a heated rest bench in the Vestibule — no sauna slot. Most people pair this with a book and a thermos of the rye-and-cardamom coffee the Kivikoski bakery drops off Fridays. Popular in deep winter, when we keep the plunge hole open with a floating cedar cover and a long-handled skimmer for new skim-ice — the larch plunge drops 8°C in the week after ice-out, so bring wool.
Ninety minutes · lake access only · towels and wool robes provided · 3–9°C lake temp in winter months
Four hours on the property with both cabins reserved. A quiet lunch of root-vegetable soup and rye bread from the Kivikoski bakery is included, served on the deck or in the Vestibule depending on weather. We run these for small groups marking something — an anniversary, a hard season ending, a good one starting. We ask for a week's notice on dietary needs; we keep a pot of dill-and-pea soup in rotation for guests who don't eat dairy.
Four hours · up to 8 guests · includes simple seasonal meal · both cabins held exclusively
Rates. We keep our rates simple and current on the visit page — you'll see the full number before you confirm, and there's nothing added at the end.
Quiet hours. The sauna is a quiet space. Conversation is welcome. Speakerphones, music, and business calls are not. We ask that phones stay in the basket by the Vestibule door.
Children. Guests fourteen and up, please. Cold water and hot stoves are a combination we'd rather not introduce to anyone smaller.
Weather. We run rain, snow, or shine. The only thing that closes us is a standing wind warning on the lake or an active fire ban that affects the stove — and we'll always reach out first via your introducing guest.
Löyly etiquette. Ask before throwing water on the stones if you're sharing the room. Two ladles at a time is plenty. The infused water — birch, pine tar, or the occasional drop of Annika's juniper — lives in a labeled jar on the side bench; use sparingly.
