About this property
Sauna & Cold Plunge by Governor Dodge State Park | Driftless Wellness Retreat
Directly Across from Governor Dodge State Park | Your Sanctuary for Discovery
Driftless Wellness Retreats is an inviting sanctuary situated on a private ridge directly across from the entrance to Governor Dodge State Park. Leave your car behind—simply walk across the road to access 5,000 acres of steep ridges, frozen lakes, and pristine nature. Whether you are here to `silence the noise,` explore the snow-covered trails, or experience a deep physical reset through our specialized wellness amenities, we provide the perfect backdrop for your journey.
The Wellness Sanctuary (Shared with Host)
Our retreat is built for the `Fire & Ice` ritual, or better known as the “Nordic Cycle” which truly shines in the winter months. After a day in the crisp air, our recovery circuit is ready to warm you to the bone.
The Wood-Fired Cedar Sauna: Deep, aromatic heat that serves as the heart of the retreat. It’s the ultimate way to quiet the mind and thaw out after a winter hike.
The Cold Plunge: A revitalizing, crisp experience. In the winter, the contrast between the snow and the water creates an unparalleled natural high. (Optional-or just enjoy the cold air)
Spa Amenities: To ensure your comfort, plush spa robes, fresh towels and slippers are provided for every guest, allowing you to move between the elements in total relaxation.
The Ritual: Moving between the heat and the cold is a centuries-old tradition for deep relaxation and the best sleep of your life.
Cozy Indoor Fireplace: On evenings, the indoor fireplace is available for you to relax by the glow of the flames.
