FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

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 but our main tips are:

  • 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. Drink plenty of water and electrolytes, before, during, and after your session.
  • Relax. Breathe. Enjoy the heat, enjoy the views, enjoy the company.

Where do you deliver?

We currently operate in the Gunnison Valley. If you're in beyond that range but you really need some great heat, drop us a note and we'll quote a delivery fee for you.

Do I have room on my driveway?

We ask that the area you plan to have us park the sauna is accessible by truck, level, with a footprint of at least 17’ long x 9’ wide, and 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.

How many people fit in the sauna?

The sauna comfortably fits 4-6 adults. If you are super friendly, you can probably squeeze in a couple more. The sauna is about 100 sq. ft, with the hot room accounting for about 2/3 of that.

The hot room includes two levels of seating with 2 bottom movable benches. 

Hosting a party or event? Remember - a sauna round is generally only about 10-15 minutes, so there is opportunity for many more people to enjoy the sauna while others are cooling down.
