We are honored to be able to offer our Harborside Natural Cold Plunge to all of our guests. 

Featuring: 

• Natural Lake Superior Water
• Safe and Accessible Plunging 
• Wood Fired Sauna Just Steps Away 
• Beautiful Harbor Side Views 

Our cold plunge is complete with 2 ladders for safe immersion and exit, a heated walkway down to the water to combat slippery walking conditions, room for up to 4 people to plunge at once, and a trained guide present for both education and encouragement. 

In order to plunge with us you must be wearing some sort of footwear. You are welcome to bring your own pair of “water shoes” or we also have neoprene gloves and booties for rent. 

Our Sauna Guides are professionally trained to answer any and all questions before,  during, or after your plunge. Just like sauna, be sure you are hydrated before partaking. 

We provide the highest quality sauna experiences with thoughtful Nordic design, wood-fired stove (built right here in Minnesota), and natural cold plunge. 

We think of heat like many think about good food or wine.

We think in terms of quality.

And until you have had the best quality, you really don’t know what you are missing out on. In terms of quality, most gym or hotel saunas leave us feeling let down. If you like things that are done well, of the highest quality, and with attention to detail we know you will enjoy some time here at Cedar & Stone.

All of our experiences include:

• Showers and changing rooms
• Highest quality wood-fired sauna experience
• Trained sauna guide to help teach you the wellness benefits, how to, and history of sauna.
• Our natural cold plunge
• Local tea and water for enjoyment and hydration
• Fresh towels
• Time to rest, rejuvenate, and enjoy the many benefits of sauna

And many people have the best night of sleep they have had in months after a sauna session.

Expect to work up a healthy sweat while in the sauna. Hydrating with plenty of water ahead of time will help your body make the most of this cleansing experience.

In order to join us for a session, you cannot be under the influence of any drugs or alcohol. That being said, we can send you into our restaurant partner to enjoy a beverage after your session. 

Just a swimsuit. It is also a great idea to bring some sandals or flip flops, especially in the wintertime so you don’t freeze your toes on our Duluth snow. We will take care of the rest.

Some guests choose to bring a robe as well, but that is optional.

Fresh towels, showers, changing rooms, local tea, and more amenities to make you comfortable are all provided.

Many people only know sauna from their local gym or by the pool in the hotel. This usually looks like hopping into the sauna for a few minutes after their workout.

Yet, not many people know the full practice of sauna that includes hot, cold, rest, rehydrate, and repeat – the thermic cycle. This cycle is wherein we receive many of benefits from sauna, the stress relief, the wellness support, and more. 

Sauna is so much more than just sitting in a hot room. Let us teach you how to sauna well, soaking up the heat and the cold for the full experience. 

This process in our space is guided as much or as little as you like. If you are a sauna veteran who wants very little extra support, we will gladly give you the space to enjoy. If you are new, curious, and want someone to walk you through more of the process, we are happy to help.

• Mindfulness 
  • The sauna is an amazing place to disconnect from the noise of the outside world, take a digital detox, and focus on the beauty of the present moment. 
  • Be here now with your people, your self, your body, and your breath.
  • This is mindfulness at its most basic, noticing and accepting what is without trying to change it.

• Breath work and Gentle Stretching
  • You may also want to utilize some breath work during your cold cycle with slow and relaxed breaths. 
  • The heat in the sauna loosens our muscles and can be a great tool for releasing tension and pain from our musculoskeletal system. 

• Extra Hydration
  • To support the detoxification capabilities of sauna, make sure you hydrate plentifully 2 hours before and after your session. 
  • Enjoying freshly made juices, herbal tea, and water infused with slices of fruit are all good ways to replenish lost electrolytes from sweating. 

We are located adjacent to Pier B Resort at 800 W. Railroad St. Duluth, MN 55802.

We are right on Duluth’s Lakewalk on the shores of Lake Superior.
