At our remote cabin, we have built a sauna that sits near the shore of a crystal clear lake.
We had milled the lumber for the build including the cedar in the sauna room.
The stone hearth where the sauna stove sits is made from selected local river run rock and amethyst.
The sauna is wood-fired, fed from outside to keep the debris outdoors.
Our sauna was built to have a means of washing up after a day on the trapline, hunting, or chasing walleye on the ice.
A true 4 seasons bathhouse.
You will not get any cleaner than the deep clean achieved from the cleansing of pores from steam from the rocks.
After a hot sauna, you can sit on the covered porch overlooking the lake or dive off the dock to cool down if desired during the summer months.
During hard water season sometimes the boys cut a hole in the ice for those vigorous enough to take the polar bear plunge.
Built off the rear is a solar-powered on-demand propane water heater outdoor shower. Much easier to hose off the kids after a day of fun on the lake or the trails. Through design, we are able to use the shower year-round as well.
As you are coming off the lake either on the boat or on the sleds can smell the cedar and birch burning in the stove.
Belly full of walleye, hot sauna with or without steam from the rocks, couple cold ones and sleep like a baby.
Can't beat 'em for winding down at the end of the day.
