At the Lake Home & Garden show in Minneapolis this weekend, there was a booth displaying infrared ‘saunas.’  I have strong opinions of these light bulb closets as they are:

• cheaper than an authentic Finnish sauna.
• look easier to install than an authentic Finnish sauna.
• seemingly less work than an authentic Finnish sauna.

Yet we are smarter than this.  We understand that McDonalds can make things cheaper, easier, with less work.   And we also know there are lots of folks who will choose a McDonalds version of a sauna.

But we are not those people.

Imagine your favorite restaurant, one that loves the food they prepare.  One that has original items on the menu and has servers that are happy to be there, that look you in the eye and smile when they tell you about their specials.  And when the food comes, it tastes great and is good for you.  It affords great value and gives you an experience worth coming back for.

Are you ready for this experience?  Are you ready for your own authentic Finnish sauna?

I have one for you.

A letter to a kindred spirit in Alaska

Hi Eric.. As you know, I have 3 saunas and yes, my mobile sauna is for sale. It’s not like a car, everyone needs one, but more and more of us are understanding that a sauna has more benefits than a car. Those of us who “take the plunge” with our own backyard retreats are long tail enthusiasts – this is one of the reasons why I do saunatimes, so folks like us can connect.  Yoga, beer making, spinning.. all this stuff starts somewhere.

I want to sell the mobile sauna only because I am going to rebuild the same sauna design on it’s own chasis and wheels – call it the Mobile Sauna II.  Mobile Sauna I was built so that folks can experience what an 8′x12′ authentic sauna retreat is, and conceptualize it in their own backyard.  It’s a perfect design and i’m proud of it.  Mobile Sauna I deserves to be in someone’s backyard idling warmly on a cold Minnesota star filled night.  Mobile Sauna II will allow me to be at more places and events, able to tow it with a standard vehicle.  One day I just may show up in your Alaskan town with Mobile Sauna II warm and ready to go.

I’ll let you know, rally your townspeople!

What a great gift! Commit to purchase today, and in a few days we could have it in your backyard with a bow on it. This sauna is on display at Uncommon Gardens 5750 Lyndale Ave S, Minneapolis. Stop by and check it out.

This isn’t my job, this is my passion. I’ve built a bunch of saunas and this is an excellent sauna. I am selling this one as I am going to build another, identical sauna on it’s own trailer.

This sauna has been used only a few times. It’s in great shape, stove is safely broken in, and it comes with a few ‘extras’ when we’ll deliver it to your backyard. Give me a call, Glenn 612-801-7126.
