See photos below. The wood-fired sauna is in a separate building and has its own sitting room with a single bed for your post-sauna nap. The covered boat house is situated in a protected bay offering maximum protection for your boat. The property is entirely off-grid. Solar panels provide electricity for lights and Internet. Hot water, stove , fridge and freezer run on propane. A wood stove provides heat. The sauna is also wood-fired.
