Driving to Duluth in February wasn't the smartest decision I've ever made, but there was some dog…read moresledding to be done. My grandparents were Finnish, lived in Hibbing and I remember them talking about having a sauna on the farm. When we arrived in Duluth in the morning I thought "Hey, I bet they have public saunas here." We asked the server at our restaurant and she hemmed and hawed and said, "no, not really. Maybe at a gym or YMCA." I told her I found this place on yelp and she said, "uh, no, I wouldn't recommend it." Indicating with her expression and a few words that in her opinion it was sketchy. After having fun dog sledding and freezing our butts, noses, fingers off outside, we decided to drive by and see what the place was like and make a decision from there. We checked it out and it seemed ok and clean enough and we decided to enjoy a traditional, public sauna. What this place is not: a boutique spa where everything is tiled, and white except for the tropical green plants, and the robes and towels are thick and fluffy. What this place is: a traditional sauna that hasn't seen an update since the 60s and the towels match the decor. (side note: we went in February 2018 and it seems from their website they have had some renovations recently.) The towels are small and thin, but clean and get the job done. From their website: "Built in the 1920's at its present location, it was a real necessity for the Swedish & Finnish miners, loggers & railroad men who came into town on weekends. As people settled down in homes with indoor plumbing, public saunas/bath houses began to close down. Duluth Steam Baths itself was slowly deteriorating, while going through various owners until 1969 when purchased by Herb Jensen." For $20 you can rent a room for you, or you and a partner, and get your sauna on and relax for up to two hours. The sauna has a private changing room with a bed for relaxing between sauna sessions (and whatever else you want to do, I guess. ;) ), and a shower and soap in the sauna room so you can rinse off before you leave. Men have the option of going downstairs to the "bull pen" where there are shared steam rooms and showers. It seems there are a lot more pricing/package options for men that want to hang out in the bull pen all day or even all night. We went on a weekday and didn't see much activity and only stayed upstairs and in our private room and sauna. I'm glad we decided to go to the sauna and if I ever find myself in Duluth in the winter again, (actually, it's pretty chilly there in the middle of summer too) I'll try to make time for some relaxin' in the sauna.

I also love that they have some interesting special events. I attended a ritual bath, which was a more spiritual experience. That was also really lovely. That one was inside the floating sauna and included setting intentions.

There is enough staff to run you through the equipment, and a good selection of classes. The 2 big issues I have are with the number and availability of classes. Classes often fill up so early(you can sign up the day before.) that if you get to the gym on Monday at 6:00a.m. to sign up for a Tuesday class-too bad. There seems to be a system that keeps the newer people out.Sad because there are a number of people who seem to want to teach and aren't allowed to. Also, classes don't seem to run much after 5 p.m. Second minor issue, the men's bathroom smells like 10 college kids pee'd on the floor.

My body was beyond knotted up and I had a killer headache as a result. After reading many reviews obsessively, I landed on Muggymoose. I emailed late in the evening asking if I could be treated in the next few days. I couldn't believe it when I received an immediate response from the owner. She reached out to all of the therapists and she found one that could work me in the next morning! This gift from God was Bell. Bell took her time to go through my health history, my needs and what I was hoping to get out of our time together. Usually this gets a little annoying because I can see the clock ticking and knowing that this time was coming out of my allotted time on the table. Not with Bell! She still gave me my full time and even a bit more! The knowledge she has about anatomy and physiology is ridiculous. As well as her knowledge of Eastern massage practices and how to apply them. She is so amazing. She is also a great conversationalist IF that's what you want. The first time she chatted with me as I was sharing my stress and worries. She had great insight on how this stress was affecting my mind and body. The next time I saw her, I was in a much better place and we barely talked. I have had innumerable massages and that is a very rare experience. Either too chatty or awkwardly silent. Bell knows the perfect balance and shows yet again how intune she is with people. The space is amazing and you can feel your mind and body unwinding the moment you walk in. I am so grateful I was led to Muggymoose and especially Bell. Such a blessing and I can't wait to go back North!

The staff, was welcoming and friendly which is very important, and the food was awesome. This place is perfect for an intimate wedding and it was our very first choice. Ultimately my fiancee and I chose to elope in Italy (we followed our true heart), but before we made that choice, Larsmont was the only choice for us in the North Shore area. Thank you Hannah and all of the staff. We are sorry we won't be able to enjoy a wedding there, but will definitely be back for a vacation.

For the price, this place is very average…read more Pros: Good location right on the water. Almost no traffic noise from Hwy 61. Higher quality look and feel of the buildings. Cons: Very high price compared to most lodging options in the area. Bed mattress is very firm. There is a thin layer of pillow top, but it is well broken down. I had a back ache both early mornings, waking up well before I wanted to. The ironing board is one of those mini ones with a dirty old cover. Although there were wine glasses, there was no cork screw in the room. Although there are big candles in the bathroom there is no matches provided to light them. The s'mores kit we were provided had stale marshmallows. One of the bathroom sink bowls had some kind of unsightly chemical damage. In-room TV is small (20") and low quality. Refrigerator froze our milk solid. I'd be fine with the issues of this place, if the price was lower. For the price they are charging, none of these cons should exist.
