stone City Forest Spa:
A Growing Sanctuary in the Trees
Take a deep breath and step into the woods—our Forest Spa is an ever-evolving haven of heat, steam, cold plunges, and woodland magic. We’re continually adding new rituals, features, and cozy touches as inspiration strikes (and as the forest offers up her gifts). Each visit brings something a little new, a little wild, and wonderfully relaxing.
Our Micro-spa Offerings
(Hover over each image for info.)
A simple, wood-fired sauna experience rooted in warmth, water, and forest calm.

12 Fires Sauna Circle
A limited annual membership offering one private, wood-fired streamside sauna session each month for a year, creating a simple ritual of warmth, rest, and return to the forest.
Our cozy wood-fired sauna is the heart of the Forest Spa—a steamy sanctuary tucked under the trees. Saunas are known to boost circulation, reduce stress, ease sore muscles, and support deep relaxation (the kind you feel in your bones). Inside the sauna, the crackle of the fire and the scent of cedar invite you to slow down, breathe deeply, connect with yourself and loved ones, and let the warmth melt everything that doesn’t belong.
❄️ Cold Plunge Options
Cool off Vermont-style with your choice of cold plunge adventures. In warmer months, dip into the year-round trough for a perfectly chilled plunge. In winter, brave the snowbank plunge or a snowy river dunk. In fall and spring, our stream offers a refreshing natural cooldown, and a simple cold-water bathtub soak is always an option. Cold therapy can boost immunity, sharpen your mind, brighten your mood, and leave you feeling wildly alive—like the forest just hit your reset button.
🔥 The Woodland Lounge
Between sauna rounds, gather around the glowing fire bowl in our woodland sitting area. It’s the perfect place to warm your toes, sip tea, swap stories, or simply sit quietly and watch the flames dance against the trees. This cozy nook offers space to rest, breathe the crisp forest air, and enjoy that delicious post-sauna bliss.
🚿
Indoor & Outdoor Showers
Rinse off under a warm stream of water in our beautiful indoor shower —or go full forest fairy with the outdoor shower nestled beneath the branches (during the warmer months). Whether you prefer the comfort of an indoor rinse or the thrill of showering in the open air, both offer a refreshing, grounding way to transition between heat, cold, and relaxation.
🌿 Woodland Wellness Essentials
We provide all the soft, cozy essentials you need to sink into your forest spa experience: plush towels, comfy robes, and warm slippers for wandering between heat and cold. You’ll also find a small collection of essential oils and sacred scents—citrus, cedar, spruce, and other woodland companions—to elevate your sauna steam, support relaxation, and invite a little ritual into your time in the trees.
💦 Streamside Sauna Session
Nestled among the trees, the Forest Spa—once a private retreat just for our guests—has now opened its doors to the whole community. Our wood‑fired sauna feels like a warm hug from the woods, the private deck lets you unwind by a crackling fire, and crystal‑clear stream access offers an instant cool‑dip. In summer you’ll love hopping between multiple cold‑plunge pools and open‑air showers while the forest’s fresh scent follows you everywhere. We’re constantly adding new touches, so each visit feels a little different, a little more magical. Come for the heat, stay for the serenity, and let the forest become your favorite local escape.
