Smugglers' Notch Sauna and cold Plunge

Smugglers’ Notch Sauna and Cold Plunge at McGovern Lodge is the private sauna experience at Smugglers’ Notch Resort in Cambridge, Vermont — one of the Northeast’s most celebrated four-season family resorts. Located at the resort’s McGovern Lodge, the private sauna accommodates up to five guests at $70 per hour, providing an intimate heat and cold therapy experience amid the spectacular natural setting of the Notch’s dramatic rocky cliffs and forested mountain landscape.

Smugglers’ Notch Resort is recognized internationally as a premier family ski destination with one of the most comprehensive children’s programming offerings in North America, and the sauna experience adds an important adult wellness dimension to the resort’s extensive amenity package. After a day on the trails — whether skiing, snowboarding, hiking, mountain biking, or exploring the dramatic Smugglers’ Notch natural area — a private sauna session at McGovern Lodge provides precisely the kind of muscle recovery, stress relief, and warming restoration that transforms a good Vermont day into a genuinely exceptional one. The resort’s sprawling campus and year-round family programming make this an especially appealing option for families traveling with children who can enjoy resort activities while adults recover in the sauna.
