The Lake Minnetonka sauna experience
Heat, Lake, Repeat.
Warm cedar, cool water, and time that feels a little more your own.
What Happens When You Slow Down?
When you step away from the usual pace of the day and settle into The Cedar Room, your attention returns to what’s right in front of you – the warmth on your skin, the water beneath you, the company of the people you’re with, and the ever-changing beauty of the lake.
That’s what makes The Cedar Room different.
It’s not just the sauna itself, but the opportunity it creates for presence, connection, and meaningful time together.
How it unfolds
A Rhythm You Settle Into, Not Rush Through.
Arrive
Arrive before departure, step aboard, and settle in. Feel the pace of the day slow as you ease onto the water.
Warm up
Cedar, heat, and serenity create space to slow down, breathe deeper, and leave the outside world behind for a while.
Cool off
Move at a pace that feels right for you. Some guests take a plunge, others simply enjoy the warmth of the sun on their skin and the fresh breeze off the lake.
Settle in
This is the part guests remember most – good conversation, restoration, and the simple pleasure of having nowhere else to be.
A Peek at What to Expect
What to Bring
Space on board is limited, so we recommend packing light. A swimsuit is all you need, but if you’d like to bring your own water bottle and towel, feel free to do so. Each guest will have access to a hook and a personal cubby for their belongings.
Session Length
Regularly scheduled sessions are approximately 90 minutes from departure to return. Extended experiences vary in length and are listed at the time of booking.
Designed for Comfort
A gender-neutral changing space with a privacy curtain is available on board, providing a convenient, comfortable space to change before and after your session.
Plunging is Optional
Some guests love to jump into the lake, while others simply enjoy the fresh air and changing temperatures. There’s no wrong way to experience The Cedar Room.
The lake is part of the experience.
At The Cedar Room, the view isn’t something you simply sit back to admire; it’s something you become part of.
Designed to evolve with the changing seasons and shifting skies, no two sessions are exactly alike – and that’s part of what makes each one so memorable.
