Spa & Sauna

Wood-fired wellness in the heart of the Finger Lakes

Finger Lakes Spa Experience

Discover a spa sanctuary unlike any other in the Finger Lakes. Our wood-fired hot tubs and outdoor saunas invite you to disconnect from the everyday and reconnect with what matters—whether that's your partner, your thoughts, or simply the stillness of nature.

Perfect for romantic getaways in upstate NY, our spa amenities blend Scandinavian wellness traditions with the untamed beauty of rural New York. No sterile treatment rooms or ambient soundtracks—just crackling fire, ancient trees, and the kind of quiet that lets you breathe deeper.

Communal Experience

Wood-Fired Sauna

Where Wellness Meets Wilderness

Encased in nature, our communal outdoor sauna is heated the traditional way—with wood fire and patience. Seating up to six, it's a space for detoxification and reflection, where heat therapy meets forest bathing.

The Ritual

  • Warm up slowly as the wood fire builds heat
  • Step outside to cool beneath towering pines
  • Repeat, letting your nervous system recalibrate with each cycle

Complimentary with every stay. First come, first served. No reservations, no schedules—just show up when you're ready to slow down.

Private Wood-Fired Hot Tubs

Your Personal Spa Retreat

Each accommodation includes a private hot tub tucked into the landscape. Heat it yourself using our step-by-step videos (easier than you'd think), or arrive to a tub already glowing at 104°F, paired with a complimentary bottle of wine.

For romantic getaways in upstate NY, this is where the magic happens—stargazing from steaming water, wine in hand, with nothing but forest sounds as your soundtrack. It's the kind of moment that turns a weekend away into a memory you'll replay for years.

The Difference

Why Wood-Fired?

The Science of Slow Heat

Unlike electric spas that hit temperature fast and hold it artificially, wood-fired systems create radiant, layered warmth. The heat penetrates deeper, encouraging:

Improved Circulation

Enhanced blood flow and muscle recovery

Reduced Stress

Through prolonged heat exposure

Better Sleep

Especially when paired with cold air contrast

Mindful Presence

Tending the fire becomes a meditation

This is wellness that asks something of you. And gives back tenfold.

Do it yourself

Designed for Two

Romantic Spa Getaways in Upstate NY

Our Finger Lakes spa amenities are intentionally private. Your hot tub is yours alone. The sauna, while communal, seats just six—you're more likely to have it to yourself than share it.

What Couples Love

Night time star gazing while the natural spring water and wood fired heat washes away your stress
Evening sauna sessions under starlight
The option to be social (clubhouse, firepits) or invisible (treehouse seclusion)
Zero pressure to 'do' anything—wellness here is permission to simply be

Whether you're celebrating an anniversary, escaping routine, or testing out a relationship away from wifi, our spa retreat offers the space to reconnect without distraction.

Your Spa Day

How to Make the Most of Your Stay

Morning

Start with sauna. Let the heat wake your body gently, then cool off in the crisp Finger Lakes air. Follow with coffee on your private deck.

Afternoon

Explore the property—visit our heritage pigs, walk the farm trails, or simply read in a hammock. Save energy for evening.

Evening

Light your hot tub at sunset (or arrive to one already glowing). Soak under stars with wine and conversation. Add a s'mores kit if nostalgia calls.

Night

Sleep deeper than you have in months. The combination of heat therapy, fresh air, and actual darkness works wonders.
