Sauna is awesome!! I wish they served their yummy food again and maybe a foot bath

Excellent sauna! We went today with a big group and had a great time- the staff is so accommodating. Really clean, with a cozy lounge. Welcoming and totally non-creepy. Plus, they have new Kuuma stoves! That’s like the Ferrari of sauna stoves! Good heat and steam from em. The water taps in the sauna are a great touch too. 10/10

After looking all over Maine and New Hampshire for a good masseuse, I have finally found my new favorite! Hannah at Riverside Sauna worked her magic on me and I’m not even sure how she was doing most of it, but it felt amazing! She covered all the bases and I came away feeling relaxed and peaceful. Her, Jen, Marty and the whole family made us feel so welcomed and comfortable. The cold Prosecco(s) added to our enjoyment and we promptly sweat it all out in the HOT wood fired sauna. Revitalized, calm, and refreshed, me and my wife left with smiles and a longing to return in the near future. We highly recommend! Very reasonable rates. Thank you Riverside! See you soon!!

Had a great time Great service and very laid back and comfortable. I'm going back. The guys who run it love to talk fishing and rock climbing

My boyfriend and I came here for the sauna and it was perfect! The place felt very cozy and comforting. There was a private area to change before entering the sauna. The sauna itself was also private and spacious. Had a nice shower inside as well - was nice to have this option when we got a little too warm. Will definitely be back!

We've been twice now and are planning a third visit in a couple weeks.Absolutely delightful! Comfortable, homey and inviting. Staff is so kind, helpful and personable.Wood fired saunas are a treat. Cold shower in sauna, dressing/warm room attached. Drinking water available.We got pizza and salad and beers afterwards. All great! Never knew I liked pickles in salad, but count me a big fan! I just love this place. Makes the winters in Maine just a little bit nicer.

-14 degrees nothing better then a massage or a sauna. Utilized both tonight was amazing.

What a wonderful gem of a place. The staff are incredibly nice, the sauna (our first time) was a nice experience, the homemade food was delicious. We got the special pizza of the day, a meatball pizza, and the Caprese Salad. It was the best pesto I've ever had in my life and she makes it in-house. Thank you for such a great experience.

I'm a lifelong local and I had never heard of Riverside. My mother-in-law booked us a sauna room for an hour and we ended up falling in love with this place! I just left an hour ago... and I'm already looking forward to going back!It has such a warm and inviting atmosphere! The staff is absolutely awesome (and so is the dog "Cowboy Dixon".) It has a very rustic and homey feel to it...The wood fired sauna is just amazing feeling! I really liked that there is a shower right in the sauna room to cool off.You can "turn up" the steam by dumping water onto the rocks on the wood stove... You can seriously feel the toxins sweating out of your body! If you have never tried a decent sauna than you really should! It helps with sore muscles and other aches and pains.Unfortunately we didn't have time to check out the menu today but we will definitely be going back for a night visit soon! The pastries and bagels looked amazing on the way out though.This is undoubtedly a hidden gem and I'm looking forward to going back for another visit (also for a massage, beer and a pizza next time!) Don't hesitate to check it out. This would make a great gift for someone that is hard to buy for!**As a friendly reminder don't forget to hydrate really well both before and after! Trust me when I tell you that you will want to have some water to drink in there. It gets incredibly hot!**???

We had such a fantastic experience at the Riverside Lodge. I'm originally from Switzerland and was, therefore, a bit skeptical about the sauna (I'm sorry). But it was a great experience! We stayed for pizza and enjoyed the Lodge's warm, loving, and welcoming atmosphere. You won't regret going there!
