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.

Park in the lot for Hazel's Tap Room/Tomassoni's Bistro, or directly behind The Village Inn. Walk towards the greenhouse and then follow the path towards the river, where you'll see the sauna.

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!

- Warm clothes to get to and from the sauna

- Swim wear for your sauna session

- Non-metal water bottle (set on sauna floor, rather than on the upper benches, to keep it cooler)

- A towel to sit on during your session and a towel to dry off with after your session

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.

Yes! The sauna is perfect for a post-wedding detox, birthday celebration, or health oriented retreat. If you are interested in an extended session and/or larger gathering, please send us an inquiry.

There is an abundance of anecdotal and scientific evidence to suggest that sauna usage has health benefits, ranging from reducing stress, enhancing cardiovascular and circulatory systems, and improving skin and mood.
