Agua Norte Sauna by Vic Campbell.jpg.jpg

The smell of cedar wood and eucalyptus essential oils.
The glow and crackling sound of wood burning.
The view of Lake Superior.

Step into
the sauna

Handbuilt, cedar paneled, wood fired.

The wood stove fills the sauna with gentle heat while Lake Superior unfolds just beyond the windows. Add a few drops of essential oils, breathe deeply, and let this simple ritual bring you back to yourself.

About the Sauna

Handbuilt, woodfired, Lake Superior facing

Nestled conveniently between our cabins and overlooking Lake Superior, our sauna offers the perfect balance of seclusion and accessibility. 

​

Agua Norte Sauna is for guests only, operates exclusively on a reservation-only basis and can be booked within 72 hours of the desired time.

 

Each 4-hour session begins at 7AM, 1PM, and 6PM, offering ample time for you to prepare the sauna, reach your desired temperature — especially during chilly winters, where it might take up to 45 minutes and about 3 stokes — and fully enjoy the experience.

​

Below, you'll find our sauna rules, along with how to safely close the sauna after use.
