Indoor & outdoor standalone saunas

Locally sourced and built-to-order by local Craftsmen

We returned to first principles and built our own, from scratch. The result is our minimalist, intentionally pared-back prefab line: locally sourced, crafted to order, and, to our knowledge, the first line to explicitly be completely free of any and all additives and chemicals.

Note: please excuse and disregard the images on our store as they are temporary placeholder renderings for illustrative continuitive purposes only. These are the units you will be receiving in your chosen size and with your selected modifications and add-ons.

We began with bespoke, built-in home saunas— shaped by our backgrounds in woodworking, health, and science.

The changes we experienced in our own lives through sauna and cold therapy served as a driving force that led us deep into the history and practice of intentional sauna design, where every detail serves the person.

When clients asked for standalone units, we tried assembling off-the-shelf kits. They looked the part... but, first of all, all were contaminated to one degree or another, containing something they shouldn't. Some to an extent that they blatantly smelled like the factory they were manufactured in — while others overlooked intentional sauna design and proved rigid and limited, unable to accommodate even simple requests.

Premium sauna wood from the U.S.

Hand selected, sawn, and milled. Straight off the mill, straight from the tree.

Western Red Cedar; or Giant Aborvitae
The tree's longevity, with some individuals living for a thousand years, and its evergreen nature led to it being called the "tree of life" and "long life maker" or "long life giver" by tribes like the Salish.

Partnering with Arbor Day Foundation, we pledge to plant three Giant Aborvitae tree for every sauna built with this species' wood.

Bald Cypress; or Taxodium Disichum
Rooted in the water, Bald Cypress trees can live for over a thousand years, with underwater cypress forests lasting tens of thousands of years, leaving some ancient forests still preserved to this day. It's resilience and growth in both water and air symbolizes a connection between the earthly and spiritual realms.

Bald Cypress is an increasingly endangered species.

Partnering with Coalition to Restore Coastal Louisiana, we pledge to plant ten Bald Cypress trees for every sauna built with this species' wood.

Coast Redwood; or Sequoia Sempervirens
Indigenous peoples hold deep beliefs about redwoods, viewing them as sacred beings and a special gift from the Creator, using them for traditional items like homes and canoes, while also respecting their role as guardians of sacred places.

The coast redwood in particular is an endangered species.

Partnering with Save the Redwoods League, we pledge to plant two Coastal Redwood trees for every sauna built with this species' wood.

The sauna, as it should be

Heat, steam, and wood -- we offer as pure of a sauna experience as you can get

A sauna should feel pure—just heat, steam, and wood. At 150–200°F, though, coatings and glues that seem harmless at room temperature can off-gas more; higher heat means higher vapor pressure, which means more chemicals in the air you breathe.

It is a scientifically-elementary fact that there are certain chemicals which humans have not biologically evolved to come into contact with. These chemicals -- having direct and harmful physiological effect upon contact with our skin or introduction to our lungs, bloodstream, or other systems -- are known as toxins. They are isolated or synthesized in extremely high concentrations in adhesives and other synthetic coatings and treatments.

Here at Craft Saunas, we keep toxins out. No veneers or laminates, no wood-mimicking plastic, no interior plywood or MDF, and absolutely no chemically treated woods or other materials.

A step beyond, our saunas stand out in that they contain absolutely no adhesives or additives of any kind.

In the case that a customer requests a feature that typically requires adhesives (such as a custom wood door), we will use water-based, zero-VOC adhesives selected for high-temp stability, and we will use them sparingly.

Our cabins aim for the experience you want: the quiet scent of wood, clear air, and pure heat—nothing extra.

Reset and rejuvenate your system

Health is a broad word; it encompasses and considers the state of every part of your body and its ability to function. Science has seen of saunas what users have long felt - an increase of that.

Longevity, Anti-Aging & Immunity

Consistent sauna behaves like gentle resilience training—supporting cellular housekeeping and steadier immune responses. Long-term users are associated with ~40% lower all-cause mortality (death) and report roughly 50% fewer colds across a season; it’s a small habit with outsized compounding.

Heart & Brain Health

Sauna widens vessels and smooths flow—controlled studies show ~90–100% gains in flow-mediated dilation with ~14% lower arterial stiffness and modest BP drops (~3%). In population data, frequent use is associated with ~50% lower fatal CVD and ~65% lower dementia risk—like sunrise for your inner wiring.

Mental Health, Stress & Well Being

Sauna cues the body to downshift: muscles loosen, breath slows, sleep deepens. Pilot trials of therapeutic whole-body heating show ~30–50% reductions in depressive symptoms, matching how most sessions actually feel—lighter on exit than on entry.

Pain, Inflammation & Weight

By boosting circulation and softening guarding, heat helps you move like you again; clinical heat protocols for chronic low-back pain show ~50% pain reduction over weeks, with post-workout sauna easing next-day soreness without costing performance.

Why our spas are better

In breaking away from tradition and selling whatever catches the consumer's eye, many modern saunas have lost their touch -- overlooking a number of seemingly small but intentional designs. Combining traditional wisdom with modern science, our goal is to create saunas geared towards optimal function. Here's some of what we do to acheive that.

Passive ventilation that actually works

We keep CO₂ from creeping up. Fresh air intake low by the heater and a high, opposite-side exhaust create a gentle convection loop. A traditional design backed by science. Air stays lively instead of heavy and stale. Old-timers say you should leave the room feeling lighter than you entered, a sign that heat + fresh air balanced well.

Feet above the stones

Heat stratifies. High benches put your whole body—feet included—into the sweet spot. Feet at or above heater rock level for balanced, enveloping warmth. Folk wisdom holds that cold feet keep the body tense, while fully warming the feet helps the entire body relax and “circulate” better—many bath cultures insist on toasty feet before bed for deeper sleep.

Only sauna-safe materials

A sauna should smell like cedar, not a new shoe. High heat amplifies off-gassing. As we constantly emphasize, we won't put anything in the sauna that's even remotely toxic except when strictly necessary for a *custom build. And we'll tell you, "hey, we'd need to use x adhesive to do that". Result: cleaner air, a calmer head, and deeper relaxation. Peace of mind knowing exactly what you're getting into.

'Zero' or Low EMF.

Let your nervous system downshift fully. Our builds minimize three field types that can distract sensitive users: low-frequency electric fields (EF), low-frequency magnetic fields (MF), and high-frequency radio (RF) from wireless gear. Fewer electronics and ultra low EMF technology so you can have a true sanctuary and uncover a calmer headspace.

A process almost as relaxing as our saunas -- almost.

Frequently Asked Questions

We’ve pulled together some basics to help you get started

Can I put exercise equipment such as stationary bikes in the sauna?

Yes, depending on the size. Creating space for this may mean removing one or even both of the benches, depending on your preference.

If I choose to go with one heater option, could we change or add onto it later?

Say you choose a traditional heater and want to add infrared later on. We can typically do this for you at an extra charge.

Do you offer tinted glass for the doors and windows for added privacy?

Yes we do. Either contact us after purchasing a product for a separate quote for this add-on, or get a custom sauna quote from the beginning.

Can I lay down in the sauna?

Most people find they can lay down with their knees bent semi-comfortably in any of our saunas. To fully lay down, most people find that they can do so very comfortably in the 5 and 6 person sauna.
