Cold Plunge
If you’ve spent time in the Bend area, you’ve likely noticed a unique trend has taken root amidst the stunning natural landscape: cold plunges in the river. For those familiar with this vibrant city nestled in the Cascade Range, the sight of people braving the chilly waters for a quick dip has become a familiar scene. Whether it's the Deschutes River flowing through downtown or one of the numerous other waterways snaking through this picturesque region, the allure of a cold plunge has captured the attention of locals and visitors alike. The benefits of cold plunging are well-documented. But did you know you can make this practice even more beneficial? That’s right!
Saunas
Another age-old practice finds its place in the hearts and homes of locals: the sauna. Originating in Finland over 2,000 ago, saunas have stood the test of time as a cornerstone of wellness and relaxation. In stark contrast to the icy waters of the river, saunas offer a warm refuge, promoting numerous health benefits such as improved circulation, stress relief, and detoxification. As residents of Bend embrace the outdoor lifestyle with vigor, it's no surprise that the tradition of sauna bathing has seamlessly integrated into the fabric of this active community. There are many additional health benefits for those who wish to use cold plunges in conjunction with saunas, and Tamarack Sheds has the perfect units to have the best of both worlds!
Sun Sheds
Our Sun Sheds offer a space where a person can reap the benefits of a sauna (the back portion in this photo), and then come to the sunny side where they can keep an ice bath. Add in a big comfy chair and sit down to soak up some Vitamin D and you’ve got yourself a wellness retreat - right in your very own back yard.
Logistics
You might wonder how these saunas work. There are options! Some saunas can be outfitted with electricity (solar panels are a huge benefit here!). The most traditional saunas offer a small fireplace that heats the rocks, then you pour on the water and soak up all the steamy goodness.
