Heat . 185 F
The cedar sauna.
Dry heat, three tiers, 22 seats and a window. Ladle some water on the stones and the air turns soft. Every pass includes it, from $42 for 75 minutes to $78 for the day.
The heat
185 F feels hotter at the top.
Heat rises, so each bench is its own room. The bottom tier sits around 160 F. The top is 185 F and up. Start low, move up when you are bored.
The heater is a big electric stove packed with 300 pounds of stone. The walls and benches are clear cedar, sanded each quarter so nothing burns your legs. Water on the stones is allowed. Small ladles, please. One or two at a time.
How long to stay
Leave before you want to.
- First time: 8 to 12 minutes on the bottom bench.
- Regulars: 12 to 15 minutes, top bench if you like it.
- Nobody: more than 20. The circuit builder stops there on purpose.
Sit on a towel, drink water between rounds and get out if you feel light headed. Then go cold: the plunge pools are ten steps from the door.
The hourly pour
On the hour, the room gets loud.
A staff member ladles water with a few drops of birch or cedar oil onto the stones, then waves a towel to push the wave of heat around the room. It lasts about four minutes. Sit low if it is your first one.
