The Outdoor Sauna Experience

Social Sauna
Experience sauna recreation. Sauna for 10 - 15 minutes, cool off with a cold shower or with the breeze, relax by the chiminea fireplace, repeat the cycle. Complete 2 - 4 rounds during your session and finish feeling awesome.
Come as a solo adventurer or bring friends. Expect a relaxed vibe like hanging out around a campfire. Both first timers and sauna pros are welcome.

Private Sauna
For a birthday, anniversary, unique date night, or stay-cation with friends.
Enjoy the crackling fire, the warmth of the seasonally selected aromatic steam, and the refreshing cold shower or crisp breeze.
Seats up to 10 of your favorite people.

A Peek at What's Next
We obsess over good heat the way coffee lovers chase the perfect pour-over. This summer, we’re taking that obsession on the road.
Scandinavia Bound → Repping Tennessee at the 2025 World Sauna Forum. We'll also be sauna-hopping across Scandinavia for a few months to learn from the best.
Deep Heat Experiments → Testing new techniques, refining our craft, and bringing back ideas to make Sage Sauna even better.
Living the Ethos → Taking it slow, leaning in to doing hard things, and making time for what matters.

Why sauna?
From Ancient Rome to Scandinavia, people have been enjoying saunas for generations for promoting relaxation and health. While research over the past 100 years has backed up the physical and mental health benefits, most of us are drawn to saunas simply because of how amazing they make us feel—both during and after.
