How to use the sauna

The large sauna on the lower level is great to relax after day of outside activities.

There are two controls on the sauna.  The one on the left controls how long the heater is on.   The one on the right controls how hot the heater is (with I being the lowest setting and VII being the highest setting).

Choose a temperature and turn the dial to turn on the sauna heater.  It will take a while (15+ minutes) to heat the room.

If you want more humidity, you can take use the provided bucket to get water from the bathroom.  Then use the ladle to and splash water onto the rocks once they are heated. You do not want to pour water into the heater -- just put it on the rocks so it steams off of them.

We have also provided a set of essential oils that you can use.  Place a drop of oil into the tray and let it humidify.
