We do kindly ask you to rinse when leaving the sauna and entering the cold plunge. Read more here.

Private rentals are generally available Sundays from 12 to 7pm, Mondays from 12 to 5pm, and Tuesday through Thursday from 5 to 8pm, subject to availability. Additional hours may be available upon request.
Private rental rates are $225 (farm members)/$250(non-farm members) for a 90-minute session and $300 (farm members)/$325 (non-farm members) for a 2-hour session.
The sauna comfortably fits ~5 people at a time, but for a private session you can include up to 5 additional guests in your group. People will get on different sauna and cold plunge cycles organically, so some people can be in the sauna while others are enjoying the plunges or fire pit, or just being outside.

To make sure everyone has a safe and enjoyable experience, we do have a few guidelines:
Nudity and alcohol are not permitted inside the sauna or plunge tanks. All guests are asked to sit on a small towel (please bring one) while inside the sauna. All guests are required to read and sign a waiver before using the sauna or cold plunge, confirming that they do not have any health conditions that could make these experiences unsafe.
Our saunas are shared spaces, so we ask guests to be considerate of one another. Please use water moderately on the sauna rocks, keep conversation and noise at a considerate level, and treat fellow guests and our staff with courtesy and respect. We also ask that guests follow reasonable requests from our staff regarding sauna use and the shared environment.
We reserve the right to ask guests to leave or decline future bookings when behavior interferes with the comfort, safety, or experience of our guests or staff.
-
Each 1-hour public session is shared with up to five guests. Each booking reserves one spot.
You can book for another guest, but each reservation will need to be booked individually.
When you book for yourself, you will be asked to sign a waiver online. If you book for another guest, we will ask that guest to sign a waiver when they arrive.
Private rentals are generally not available during public sauna hours; however, you are more than welcome to book all 5 spaces (individually) for your group within a selected 1-hour session.
-
Our summer hours are: Fridays and Saturdays with 55-minute sessions starting at 6pm, 7pm, and 8pm, and Monday sessions starting at 5pm, 6pm, 7pm and 8pm.
Please contact us about times available for private rentals.

When checking out, you will see a field labeled ‘packages, gift, or coupon code’ in the order summary (just above the yellow Pay & Confirm button). Enter the promo code PIPPIN, which will give a $10 discount. This applies to clients with active Coonamessett farm memberships for the current year.
-
If you are a farm member you can visit the farm during their business hours, which you can find here. If you are not a member you will need to purchase a day pass to access the farm to view the animals and pick your own vegetables. Please note that the farm is not open after 5pm so there is no farm access after that time beyond the sauna grounds and parking area.
We encourage you to become a farm member, which will give you a considerable discount on sauna sessions, and access to fresh local food and a vibrant farming community.
