Shirly found us through Marketplace after seeing the “Badlands Bob” Cubed Sauna and inquiring about it.

This was last year toward the end of summer. We stayed in contact for quite some time before Shirly and Rodger decided to drive all the way from Seville, Ohio, to see our craftsmanship in person.

That morning, I told her I had to pick up the kids at a certain time. They arrived, and I had to leave about 10 minutes later.

I felt terrible, but Shirly said, “That’s all we had to do was see it in person.”

It was a foggy, rainy day, but it was wonderful meeting them in person.

We stayed in contact throughout the winter, and in the spring, they decided to pull the trigger and order a sauna.

Shirly went with a 7' deep × 6' wide × 7'4" tall Western Red Cedar Cubed Sauna with a 9 kW Harvia electric heater.

The week of delivery, we decided to add an additional front window.

I left Erie at 5:30 AM to deliver the sauna. By the time I left around 11 AM, I had enjoyed some homemade quiche and fallen in love with their Golden Retriever, Duncan.

Before leaving, Shirly insisted that I took a photo in front of her custom Sauna, of course with the pine trees in the background ha ha

I left with a comfrey plant that Shirly dug up while we were unloading, a dozen fresh-laid eggs from that morning, and a smile on my face.

It felt less like a delivery and more like hanging out with family.

A few months back, Joli Lee reached out about a sauna she wanted to surprise her husband with.

He had been using her son’s old sweat tent. Her son, Buddy, was actually one of our first customers. Two years ago, he purchased an 8-foot barrel sauna from us that we built right on-site.

I remember Buddy telling me, “I know my dad’s eventually gonna get one of these.”

Well, two years later, I get a call from Joli Lee saying she wanted to make that happen. She was ordering a “Hot Box” for her husband.

They went with a 5' deep × 6' round barrel sauna with an 8 kW Harvia electric heater.

It’s pretty cool seeing one family sauna lead to another. What started with Buddy’s sauna a couple years ago has now made its way to his dad.

That’s the kind of stuff that makes these builds special.

Enjoy the Hot Box and put it to good use!

P.s i’ll put a couple of photos of Buddy’s Sauna on here as well. It’s the woodburning stove.

We brought three different saunas to the Tionesta Indian Festival this year. This one found a very special home.

It’s a 5' wide × 5' deep × 7' tall Western Red Cedar cube sauna with a 7kW HUUM DROP Wi-Fi-controlled electric heater. The perfect size for roughly three people.

It was early Saturday morning, the third day of the festival, when Sharon and Russ stopped by to say hello.

We got talking about the new style of sauna we brought this year compared to last year. With the smaller size, it’s nice to sit above the rocks and in the heat zone. That’s where you really get the löyly.

After talking for quite some time, Russ turned to Sharon and said a few words. He then looked at me and said:

“If this one doesn’t sell by the weekend, it has a home at our place.”

I was excited to hear that, but still a little reserved because at this same event last year, they purchased the demo sauna from the previous year — the first sauna I ever built.

I looked at Sharon, and she said:

“He has a vision for it.”

Then she followed with:

“At first, I didn’t see it, but now I do.”

Basically, she was saying she supported his vision.

They have a cute little cottage in the back of their property, and that’s where this sauna found its home.

Enjoy it to the fullest, Russ, Sharon & family! 🔥

Ostap first inquired about a sauna a little over a year ago. Originally, I was going to build it in his backyard in Buffalo, New York.

As we started the process, some unexpected pipes burst at his house, so unfortunately, we had to put the project on hold.

Fast-forward seven months, and I received an unexpected phone call from Ostap. His family was building a beautiful Airbnb in Elliottville, New York, and they wanted more than just any sauna. They wanted a sauna with a grand view overlooking the property.

They chose an 8-foot-deep, 7-foot-round barrel sauna with a 7-foot arched tempered-glass window, which we special-order through Schaal Glass.

They also went with a 10.5 kW Harvia Wi-Fi-controlled heater.

We'll put the link to their Airbnb in our bio. Perhaps you can experience this incredible place for yourself!

Enjoy this beautiful piece of art to the fullest.
