Frequently Asked Questions
How many people fit in the sauna?
The “Aurora” sauna fits 6-8 adults sitting up, or 3 laying down. The sauna is about 100 sq. ft, split between a hot room and a cool-down/changing room.
The “Borealis” sauna fits 3-4 adults sitting up, or 2 laying down. The sauna is about 65 sq. ft, split between a hot room and a cool-down/changing room.
The “Northup” sauna fits 5-6 adults sitting up, or 3 laying down. The sauna is about 60 sq. ft, and only contains a hot room.
Hosting a party or event? Remember - a sauna round is generally only about 15 minutes, so there is opportunity for many more people to enjoy the sauna in cycles.
Do I have room on my driveway?
We ask that the area you plan to have us park the sauna is accessible by truck, with a footprint of at least 18’ long x 9’ wide for the Aurora, or 14’ long by 8.5’ wide for the Borealis or NorthUp. All saunas require a vertical clearance of at least 12’. We will be in contact after booking to create a plan for your sauna oasis setup. Not sure if your space will work? Send us an email with a few photos and your concerns.

I’ve never used a sauna before or operated a wood-fired stove, is that okay?
Yes! We will spend as much time as needed at drop-off to have you comfortably and safely operating the sauna stove before we leave. We will also happily discuss our favorite ways to use the sauna.
Here are our main tips:
Listen to your body: This isn’t a competition to see who can stay in the hot room the longest. Feeling too hot? Notice your heart rate escalating? Leave the sauna and cool down. We suggest using the sauna in cycles. 10-15 minutes of hot, followed by a 5+ minute cool-down before going back in the sauna for another round.
Stay hydrated: Hydrate with plenty of water both before and after your session.
Relax: Breathe. Enjoy the heat, enjoy the views, enjoy your company.
