Winter in Hermantown, Minnesota, brings freezing temperatures and heavy snow, making a backyard hot tub the ultimate escape. Stepping into soothing, warm water transforms your frosty backyard into a luxurious personal retreat. This guide covers everything you need to know about purchasing, installing, and enjoying a hot tub or sauna from The Hot Tub Store during the cold Northern Minnesota months.
Why Winter is the Ideal Time for a Hot Tub in Hermantown

Winter creates the perfect contrast between crisp air and therapeutic warmth. Investing in a hot tub now provides immediate relief from the harsh elements right outside your door.
- Muscle Relaxation: When temperatures drop, the body tenses to conserve heat. Slipping into a hot tub instantly relaxes tight muscles and raises your core temperature.
- Buoyancy and Relief: Water buoyancy relieves pressure on joints, making winter stiffness much more manageable.
- Combatting the Winter Blues: Shorter days can impact your mood. Regular hydrotherapy sessions help reduce stress, while targeted jets provide deep tissue massage for arthritis and back pain.
- Improved Sleep: A relaxing soak before bed promotes deeper, more restful sleep. Discover relaxation and reclaim your wellness this season.

Discover Infrared and Traditional Saunas

If you prefer dry heat to combat the Minnesota freeze, our sauna offerings provide incredible health benefits.

- One Person Sun100: Ideal for tight spaces and solo relaxation.
- Two Person Sun200 & Three Person Sun300: Provide extra room for couples or families to unwind together.
- Bear Naked Saunas: These are popular for their rustic charm and powerful heat. Their durable construction stands up to heavy snow and high winds, offering an authentic sauna experience.

Owning a hot tub should be stress-free, even in January. We provide a full range of support services for all makes and models:
- Professional Winterization: If you choose not to use your tub in winter, we properly drain, clean, and insulate it to prevent freezing damage to pumps and plumbing.
- Maintenance Programs: Our technicians handle water balancing, filter cleaning, and system checks so your spa is always ready.
- Expert Repairs: We quickly address leaks, jet issues, and pump failures, carrying a wide range of parts to get you back in the water fast.
- Spring Restarts: Once the snow melts in April or May, we inspect, refill, and balance your spa for the new season.
- Trade-Ins: Looking to upgrade? We evaluate your old unit and apply its value toward a new Sundance® Spa, even hauling the old one away for you.
