Lakeside Sauna Club

Wood-fired saunas heat up over 60 to 90 minutes for groups of up to eight people at Lakeside Sauna Club, located near Steamboat Springs in Oak Creek. Guests spend 75 minutes alternating between the intense heat and a natural lake cold plunge, cycling through three or four rounds of contrast therapy. The facility uses open water from a lake rather than mechanical chillers, with ice holes cut by hand during the winter months. First-time visitors receive a full orientation on sauna etiquette and flow, while returning guests skip the walkthrough for immediate access. Early bird sessions on weekends begin at 6:30 AM, offering a 45-minute communal experience as the fires build. Pricing starts at $35 per person for standard public sessions, with discounted 4-packs and unlimited summer memberships available. The experience requires only a swimsuit, towel, and sandals.
