East Burke Sauna Club is open to the public - you are welcome to book a one-time visit through our online platform. The sauna is available for those 18 years of age and older; we do not allow kids in the sauna, even if accompanied by an adult. Guests at the Village Inn and frequent users (those who hold multi-visit passes) get the best rates. Prior to booking an appointment, you must agree to read and observe East Burke Sauna Club's Terms and Conditions as well as Sauna Etiquette.

No, we require all sauna sessions to be paid in advance through our online booking platform.

If you need to use the restroom during your visit, you are welcome to use the common bathroom at The Village Inn. It is accessible from the parking lot behind the inn. Cross the covered patio area and enter via the brown double doors. The bathroom will be on your right.

As of this writing, the hot tub at The Village Inn is an amenity available exclusively to inn guests. Thank you for respecting this policy.

We recommend wearing swim wear without any metal fasteners (zippers or buttons). Leave your metal jewelry and metal water bottles at home, as well - metal gets hot and can cause injury!

Listen to your body! Most folks like to sit in the sauna for 5-15 minutes at a time, though it depends on your heat tolerance, comfort level, and sauna experience. Once you are ready to cool off, simply step outside! Sit in an Adirondack chair, listen to the rush of the river, any maybe even do a snow angel before returning to the sauna.
