SAUNA
a Finnish Tradition

design your own custom sauna


Here in Ithaca, in the heart of the Fingerlakes region, my friends and I have been enjoying saunas for most of our lives. Taking after some of the many Finns who settled in this area, we made the sauna a way of life. We enjoy the sauna so much that we feel that life would not be complete without it. When we sauna in the winter we enjoy the exhilaration of rolling in the snow or plunging into the icy creek. When we sauna in the summer after a hard day of work or play our bodies become refreshed.

Sauna is very popular in places like Finland and is becoming increasingly so elsewhere as more and more people discover its many benefits. Not only does a Sauna make you feel good but it is beneficial for your heart and circulation, good for your skin, and good for the spirit.

Everyone should be able to enjoy this tradition!


I will custom design and build a sauna to suit your needs and budget. Prices start around $7000 for a stand-alone sauna. The basic design is modeled after the traditional Finnish sauna. Each sauna includes:

•Ample dressing room (from which the stove is fed) with bench and towel hooks.
•Sauna room with two-tiered benches which seats 6 or more people.
•Northern white cedar interior walls, ceiling, benches and trim.
•Locally milled pine board and batten exterior siding.
•Custom made wood-fired heater with hot water tank for heat dispersion and bathing   (electric units available).
•Special sauna rocks (for pouring water over to create steam).

 Each sauna is individually crafted and designed to suit your needs. I can integrate a sauna into an existing building or simply help you with your own sauna building project if you just need design and construction consultation. Contact me for prices or to view my model sauna!

I also custom make and sell Lämpimämpi Sauna Stoves for people who want to build their own saunas or replace an existing stove. Contact me for more information about custom stove design.
