FAQ
Can’t find yours? Text us. A real person replies within a few hours (8am–8pm).
Do I need power or a hookup?
No. The sauna is wood-fired, so there’s nothing to plug in. A garden hose nearby is handy for the cold plunge and the water bucket.
How long does it take to heat up?
Plan on about an hour from lighting to 160°F and up. The Kuuma is a gasifying stove, so it holds heat well; add two or three splits roughly every 45 minutes.
Will it fit in my driveway?
If you can park a car in it and there’s a 10 ft wide path with no low wires or branches, it almost certainly fits. Text us a photo of the spot and we’ll confirm.
Is there a lot of smoke?
Very little. The Kuuma burns the smoke along with the wood, and we supply kiln-dried wood that burns clean. Expect a little smoke from the chimney for the first few minutes after lighting.
How many people fit?
Six adults sit comfortably on the three tiers, and eight fit for a party. Have more guests over and take turns.
Is it safe for kids?
Kids 6 and up can join an adult inside for short sessions (up to 5 minutes) on the lower bench. Every guest, including minors, needs a signed waiver from a parent.
Can I use it if I’m pregnant or have a heart condition?
Talk to your doctor first. Saunas raise your heart rate and lower blood pressure, so we ask anyone pregnant or with a heart, blood-pressure or seizure condition to get medical clearance.
Do I need permission from my town or HOA?
Rules vary by town and HOA. If you’re in an HOA, please check your rules before booking. If your town issues a burn ban during your rental, we’ll reschedule.
What if it snows?
Snow is the best sauna weather, and regular snowfall doesn’t cancel a rental. We just need the driveway cleared for delivery and pickup. If a storm or unplowed roads make it unsafe, we’ll reschedule for free.
What do I need to do before pickup?
Stop adding wood about 3 hours before pickup so the fire burns out. Leave the ash in the stove, take your trash, and keep the path clear.
How do I pay?
By card. We confirm your dates, then send a secure payment link. The $750 deposit hold goes on your card on delivery day, not at booking.
Can I cancel?
Full refund 14+ days out, 50% at 7–13 days, and free rescheduling anytime 7+ days before delivery. See Policies for the full terms.
