Experience FAQs

What is the Saunable Social Experience like?

Our social sauna experience combines relaxation with a friendly, communal atmosphere. These sessions may have multiple parties sharing the sauna together. Each session is 75 minutes long, providing time for a few heat-cool cycles.

  • Community and Comfort: Engage in light conversations or enjoy shared quiet time in a respectful, inclusive setting.
  • Relaxing Ambience: The sauna offers a tranquil oasis with quality heat and a serene setting, ideal for relaxation and mental rejuvenation.
  • Health Benefits: Enjoy the wellness advantages of sauna heat, including muscle relaxation and improved circulation.
What about Private experiences?

The private sauna experience is just like the social sauna experience, except that you will have the entire sauna dedicated to your group.

I’m not a “sauna person”. How is this different from other saunas?

Traditional Finnish wood-fired saunas offer a unique way to relax and rejuvenate, and are quite different from other saunas you might have tried in your local gym or at a hotel. We invite you to try it at least once – you might be pleasantly surprised by how enjoyable and beneficial the experience can be!

What is included in each session?

Each session starts with an overview of how the cycle of heat – cool – relax – hydrate works. Your guide will be there to answer any questions you have, and make sure everyone is comfortable and safe.

Each participant is provided a fresh towel and bottled water as part of the experience, as well as a private, clean, dry area to change.

How many people fit in the sauna?

For our social sessions, we limit the sauna to 8 people. During private sessions, you’re welcome to bring a group of up to 10 people.

Will I have the sauna to myself, or will there be other people with me?

During our Social experiences, you may share the sauna with people from other groups. This is a very traditional Finnish way of enjoying sauna!

Private sessions are just that! For one price, you get the sauna to yourself, and you’re welcome to bring up to 10 people total to your session at no extra cost.

What is your experience cancellation policy?

We require a minimum of 24 hours notice for rescheduling or cancelling appointments. Cancellations made within 24 hours of the scheduled time are non-refundable.

Rental FAQs

How hot does the sauna get?

Our Minnesota made Kuuma stove can efficiently heat the sauna up to a temperature around 200f. A good temperature range for an enjoyable sauna is between 170f-200f. The temperature can be adjusted with stove throttle lever and the room vents.

How long does the sauna take to get up to temp?

Plan on an hour of heat-up time to fully let the heat soak into the wood for that good, all encompassing heat.

Do you provide the firewood?

All of our rentals include a bundle of kiln dried oak firewood for each day of the rental. Each bundle has enough wood for a 2 hour sauna session. Additional bundles are available for sale.

We provide premium oak firewood, as oak has the highest heat output and longest burn. Low moisture kiln dried wood also has the benefits of easier ignition, hotter flames, and less smoke out the chimney.

Our firewood is locally sourced in Minnesota, and is

Minnesota Department of Agriculture Heat Treatment Certified

to prevent the spread of invasive insects across the state.

What is included in the rental?

We provide everything you need for an amazing sauna experience!

  • Kiln dried oak firewood – Enough for a two hour sauna session per day of your rental. Additional firewood is available for purchase.
  • Outdoor Shower – Great for cleaning off before your session, and cooling off between rounds. Hook up a hose (one 50′ hose provided) to your spigot
  • Plunge Tank – 100 gallon galvanized steel tank is big enough for most people. Just add water (and ice for maximum effect!)
  • Outdoor Lighting – Built in exterior lights provide a soft area light for sauna sessions on cold Minnesota evenings
  • On-Board battery power – Power for the trailer lighting is provided by an on-board battery. The battery has enough capacity to operate all the lights for multiple evening sessions. For longer rentals, the trailer can be hooked up to a 110 volt outlet with an extension cord

How much space does the sauna need?

The sauna trailer is about 30 feet long, including the tongue, and about 8.5 feet wide. Additionally, the tow vehicle is 20′ long. You’ll need enough room for the truck to safely pull the trailer to a clear, level area. There will also need to be room to turn around when the rental is over. The sauna is about 12.5 feet tall in the raised travel position, so a vertical clearance to structures or tree branches should be at least 13 feet along the entire route to the rental location.

What are delivery and pick-up times?

The sauna will be delivered at 5PM on the day of your rental, and picked up at 3PM on the final day of your rental. We may be able to accommodate other times on a case by case basis. Please email us at bookings@saunable.com for more details.

How many people can fit in the sauna?

It depends on how friendly you are! The sauna will fit 10 people pretty comfortable without everyone rubbing shoulders. If you’re willing to sit closer to people, 12 or more could fit in. Or, if you really want to spread out, there is enough room for 4 six foot tall adults to lay down (two on the upper benches, two on the lower benches)!

Is there a changing room?

Yes! The “cool room” measures about 8′ x 8′, and includes a curtained off corner for changing. The space for changing measures about 3.5′ x 3.5′. There are also coat hooks for jackets and robes, as well as cubbies to store your street clothes after you change.It depends on how friendly you are!
