What is the sauna heated with and what is the temperature?

Our sauna is equipped with an electric stove that provides consistent and even heating, ensuring an optimal sauna experience. The temperature is set to 180 degrees each morning upon opening and is maintained throughout the day. Thanks to Wi-Fi connectivity, we monitor and control the sauna remotely to guarantee it remains at the ideal temperature at all times. Please note that sauna controls and settings are managed exclusively by our staff and are not accessible to guests during their visit.

Do you have a cold plunge?

Both saunas include a cold plunge experience. When visiting our facility, the cold plunge tank will be pre-filled and ready for immediate use. For our mobile sauna delivery service, customers are responsible for filling the tank. The tank holds 100 gallons and can be filled easily with a garden hose in under one hour.

There is a pond next to the Sauna facility, can I plunge in that?

We kindly ask that guests enjoy the view of the pond, take selfies nearby, or even roll in the snow beside it; however, entering the pond is strictly prohibited. This rule is clearly stated in the waiver signed upon participation at FIKA Sauna. Any guest found disregarding this policy will unfortunately not be invited to return. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

Why is there a strict arrival and departure time?

Please arrive and depart within five minutes of your scheduled time. This ensures that current guests have sufficient time to leave before your arrival and allows our staff to thoroughly clean the sauna. Our priority is to provide every guest with a comfortable and enjoyable experience. We thank you for your cooperation and adherence.

Since the sauna is heated by electricity, what if there is a power failure prior to or during my session?

Unfortunately, Mother Nature can sometimes disrupt our plans, resulting in power outages, which are most common during the winter months. In the event of a power outage, we will offer you a full refund for the affected session or provide a gift certificate for a future visit. If a power outage occurs before your scheduled session, we will make every effort to notify you in advance, whenever possible, and will be happy to reschedule your appointment.

Is the Sauna cleaned before each use?

Regular sauna cleaning is essential for preserving its aesthetic appeal and ensuring user health and safety. Consistent maintenance helps protect the wood's structural integrity while preventing the buildup of bacteria and viruses. A well-maintained sauna remains a safe and welcoming environment, providing therapeutic benefits for years to come. For disinfection, we use diluted hydrogen peroxide, which is safe for wood, effectively eliminates pathogens, and leaves no harmful residues. After each use, we thoroughly wipe down sauna benches and walls to maintain optimal hygiene and durability.

Traditional Swedish saunas recommend being naked, can I remove my clothes?

While we encourage guests to remain clothed for comfort and hygiene, you may choose to use the sauna oh naturel. In such cases, we kindly request that you sit on a towel when using any furniture or benches inside the sauna or anywhere within the building. Additionally, please be mindful that our facility is located within a residential neighborhood. Although pedestrian and vehicular traffic is minimal, it does occur. Therefore, if you walk away from the building, we ask that you wear appropriate clothing. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation. You must also confirm that others in your group are comfortable with your decision to remove your clothes.

Community Session Guidelines:

To ensure a respectful and comfortable environment for all, we kindly ask that guests adhere to the following expectations during their visit:

• Appropriate sauna attire must be worn at all times while attending our community sessions.

• Any form of unwanted physical or sexual advances toward other guests is strictly prohibited.

• Sexually explicit language or conversation is not permitted.

We appreciate your cooperation in maintaining a safe and welcoming space for everyone.

Is there a bathroom?

Yes! A portable restroom facility is available on-site for your convenience during your visit to FIKA.

Can I bring food or drinks?

Yes! Feel free to bring along some light snacks and drinks to enjoy! We just ask that you please take any trash or personal items with you when you leave.

Is the space inside and outside the sauna private?

The FIKA facility is situated within our property, approximately 400 feet from our home. The building has been thoughtfully designed to ensure maximum privacy. For this reason, a pull shade has been installed on the window facing the house, as well as on the sauna window that overlooks the road. The side windows provide a tranquil, private view of the pond, while the rear deck offers an unobstructed vista of the surrounding woods. The only time you will see our home is upon arrival and departure from the driveway.
