Cabin

A sauna session is naturally meditative since nearly all distractions simply cannot take the heat. They must be left outside. It is just you, your breath, and the heat. 🔥

Nice winter afternoon for the Magic Pines Sit & Soak. This is my new happy place. 🔥💧

Mazie and I had a nice walk around the cabin loop. I forgot my hat and she was nice enough to borrow me hers. 🌈🤩

The Magic Pines Retreat is up and running. First time getting to use the spa and sauna.

It is only 11 °F but it was the best day for me to fill the hot tub and burn in the sauna. Plan is next time we can use them. 💧🔥🥶

Added the Bullfrog X8 hot tub to pair with the NorthUp Sauna. Happened to get it installed on the 10th anniversary of signing the purchase agreement for Magic Pines. Looking forward to some delightful time this winter! 🌨️ Now to get everything ready to use!

The NorthUp Sauna was delivered today! Darin and crew did a great job. It fits in the spot just right. I love how bright it is inside. Can’t wait to fire this up and have a good sweat soon! 😅 🔥
