Takka's roots are deeply woven into the fabric of family tradition, with our founder, Jason, and his partner, Lynn, finding inspiration in the weekly saunas of Jason's childhood.

Here, we've crafted a space that not only boasts breathtaking views but also offers a tranquil retreat to the waters of Lake Superior.
