Redwood offers very nice rooms on private property away from everyone. The tub and sauna are open year round. There is no through traffic past the lodge. Indian creek is walking distance or short drive if you're an angler. The little river is 10 minutes away so bring your kayaks or use the provide one at the kayak station. Water quality is excellent filtered spring water and can be drank straight from the tap.
The property has a huge fire pit that can be enjoyed year-round with globe like views of the stars and sky. We are constantly working on the property to make this a true mountain getaway. We have a new grill that is easily accessed on the porch and close to the kitchen. Enjoy great views while fixing your favorite dinner. The wood fired hot tub and sauna experience is simply pampering and a true healing experience.
We have a selection of salts, bubbles, and incense that can be used in the hot tub being this is not a standard filter tub. The tub is fresh spring water filled every single stay by the guest themselves and is hot water plumbed on demand for convenience. It’s like a huge bathtub! A wood fire can be built to maintain the temperature or bring temperatures back up after the first hot fill, but the tub usually stays hot for days when the thermal cover is used.
The sauna experience is the real true steam barrel sauna imported from Europe the same as the tub and is truly therapeutic. The steam tightens the skin and leaves the body feeling completely rejuvenated. The sauna also has a selection of fine essential oils and Incense that can be used during the experience. Simply add a few drops of essential oils to the water ladle bucket and slowly pour one ladle at a time over preheated hand-picked Scandinavian rocks for the true steam barrel experience. Benefits:
Passive Weight Loss:
Your body must expend energy (calories) to produce sweat, so a single sauna session can burn as many calories as you would jogging for 30 minutes
Improves Blood Circulation:
As your body produces sweat to cool itself, your heart works harder pumping blood at a great rate to boost circulation, supplying the conditioning effects of exercise.
Strengthens Your Immune System:
Heat exposure to the skin stimulates production of white blood cells and strengthens the immune system.
Improves Skin Tone:
The profuse sweating achieved after just a few minutes in an infrared sauna carries off deeply imbedded impurities and dead skin cells, not only leaving your skin glowing and immaculately clean, but also giving you improved skin tone, elasticity, texture and color.
Removes Toxins and Mineral Waste
Increased blood circulation stimulates the sweat glands, releasing the built-up toxins and waste that your body trapped in the fatty layers just beneath your skin.
Pain Relief for Stiff Joints and Muscles
The deep heat of an infrared sauna helps peripheral blood vessels dilate, bringing relief and healing to muscle and soft tissue injuries.
Effective for Arthritis, Bursitis
In Europe, radiant heat is widely used to treat patients suffering from many forms of arthritis, and has proven effective in the treatment of sprains, neuralgia, bursitis, muscle spasms, and many other muscular-skeletal ailments
After steaming, retreat back to the hot tub relax and feel the complete healing, muscle relief one should find in a getaway like this. Choose your selection of healing salt. We provide fresh clean towels, robes, and all necessary firewood and fire starters for your stay. We precut all of the firewood for your stay, but we understand sometimes individuals want to chop their own wood, so we have set up a splitting station, chop block, a hatchet, and an axe.
