About
Cold Plunge & Sauna
Takka Saunas - Takka Superior provides an authentic Finnish sauna experience centered on contrast therapy between a hot sauna and the natural cold plunge of Lake Superior. Spa-goers describe the sauna heat as relaxing and effective for detoxification, with a stunning view of the lake through the sauna's glass wall. The invigorating cold plunge is directly into Lake Superior, with guests noting the icy waters are surprisingly relaxing. Many guests cycle multiple times between the sauna and the lake during their session, appreciating both the direct plunge and the alternative hand-pull dump of cold water available on the deck. The core experience is private, and sessions are available in durations such as a 90-minute sunset booking.
Atmosphere
The setting is described as breathtaking, secluded, and peaceful, offering a very chill and relaxed vibe. The private deck overlooks Lake Superior, providing a serene environment where guests can sit by a fire, listen to the waves, and enjoy the sunset. The overall atmosphere is considered a highlight, contributing to a feeling of being able to fully zen out and enjoy the moment.
Staff
The host and staff receive consistent praise for being amazing, accommodating, friendly, and informative. Guests note they are greeted promptly, check-in is easy, and everything is well-explained. Staff are described as going above and beyond, taking care of the sauna and fire, staying available for questions, and being casual about session end times when possible, which enhances the pampered and fantastic experience.
Additional Amenities
The spa is noted for having thought of everything a guest might need. Well-equipped amenities include towels, robes, water shoes or booties for easy lake access, a changing room, pitchers of water and electrolyte water, various seating options on the deck and around a fire, fixings for s'mores, and a fan for bugs.
