The switch for the light is on the control panel.
Take a shower before using the sauna.
Do not sit or lay on the wood, use towels to sit on at all times !!!
If you're pregnant or in poor health check with your doctor before using the sauna.
Do not smoke, use alcohol , or exercise in the sauna. The use of alcohol , drugs and medication is capable of greatly increasing the risk of fatal hypothermia.
Do not use Pool or spa water on the hot rocks as this can create chemical fumes, only use small amounts of clean water.
Do not put anything on the sauna oven.
Do not exceed 30 min. in the sauna at one time, as excessive exposure can be harmful to health. The sauna should not be used as an endurance test.
Leave the sauna if you feeling dizzy, drowsy or lethargic .
Take a cool shower after the sauna and rest.
The sauna is well recommended for those suffering from tension, adolescent skin problems, tiredness or those having trouble sleeping. Arthritis and rheumatism sufferers as well as those with sore muscles and joints from physical over exertion , will find the sauna heat very relaxing.

Guest house with sauna/hot tub
My wife and I loved our stay, it’s a gem of a place with a beautiful, private back yard. The sauna and hot tub are amazing. We’ll definitely try to get this one again next time we’re in the San Antonio area

Fantastic spot
The guest house was amazing. Great yard and the hot tub was amazing. I’d have to say the sauna stole the show. Host was very friendly and quick to respond. Although not much was needed. Definitely coming back.

Beautiful cozy guesthouse
Very well taken care of, peaceful place to stay! Sitting on the back porch was so nice. Bedrooms were comfortable, and communication was great! Loved the water dispenser. Owners came and brought towels and replaced the water bottles, too!

A relaxing getaway
This has to be one of the best vrbos we have ever booked! The house was very clean when we came in and they left a cute little sign with snacks! We never saw the hosts but there were very very thoughtful. The galley kitchen area is very small and limited but we were still able to cook a meal for 4 using the microwave, crockpot, and black stone. The back yard was beautiful and we spent a bit of time bird watching and snapping pics as we could. The location of the Vrbo is very convenient as there’s lots of grocery stores, restaurants, and rivers nearby. It was a great weekend away!

Enjoyed the Stay
Definitely enjoyed the stay, but online details were not very clear (I may have overlooked) as I was NOT aware the property was a back house with no full kitchen as i had plans to Cook for my daughter and her friends for their Prom. Other than that everything was great!

Perfect outside of San Antonio stay
Under the Oaks is the perfect description for this beautiful property. The entire yard is covered with big old picturesque oak trees with vivid green grass. Sitting on the back porch is a relaxing oasis. The hot tub was therapeutic and just what we needed. San Antonio is only a 20 minute drive or so and the Riverwalk is so lovely at night. The house was immaculately clean and had everything we needed. The host even included some drinks and snacks. Host gave us plenty of detailed instructions and answered our messages quickly. Highly recommend!
