About
Anchored by a wood-fired barrel sauna and cooling pond, the Nordic Nook provides an immersive experience that is both relaxing and rejuvenating. Suddenly, a hot summer day feels cool and refreshing. Frigid winter nights become remarkably pleasant. A January plunge into the icy water will not only test your bravery but will awaken your mind and body like no other way.
Not up for the intense temps? The Nordic Nook has plenty other amenities to keep you busy: lounge by the fire or on the hammocks, test your pie iron skills or compete for cornhole champ. Our goal is for you to relax and enjoy!
Perfect for social gatherings, date nights, spa days, birthdays, mental health escapes and post-workout recovery.
SANITARY
Pond: Our two pond pumps push all 300 gallons of water through four filters at the rate of seven cycles an hour. This means that sweat and contaminants get filtered at the rate of 280 times PER HOUR!
Sauna: According a study published in The National Center for Biotechnology Information, a temperature of 160 F will kill COVID-19 in 3 minutes (on external surfaces). We do our best to keep the sauna temp between 160 and 200F.
HEALTH
We always felt that sauna-ing was good for you, but now we have some evidence to back it up. According to this systematic review , two large observational studies found striking risk reductions for sudden cardiac death (63%) and all-cause mortality (40%) as well as for dementia (66%) and Alzheimer's disease (65%), in those who used a sauna 4−7 times per week .
