We design custom saunas to meet your needs (and your dreams). The design process begins with the basics: how many folks are you hoping to fit into your sauna? Do you have a budget in mind? Are you leaning towards wood fired or electric for your heat source? How many windows would you like? The list goes on. We can even talk about what you want your sauna to smell like. Custom builds are cool like that. While we usually build free standing saunas… we can also integrate a custom sauna into a pre-existing space. If you’ve got a dream- we want to build it.

While some saunas might show up in a box… our saunas show off. We believe the hand crafted nature of our saunas sets them apart. When you choose Sundog, you’re getting a custom sauna, built from scratch with years of experience and the craftsmanship to prove it. We love good wood, fine finishes and creative builds that stand the test of time. We use only the highest quality materials in our builds. Sauna is a lifestyle, one forged by ritual and daily practice. We want to make you a sauna that not only fits your home but feels like home. Sit, sweat, rest, repeat (we definitely recommend a cold plunge in that rotation as well, but we’ll get into that later). Saunas are a place for connection and revival. We partner with reputable sauna heater manufacturers to ensure your sauna experience is as good as the build itself. The craftsmanship speaks for itself. Our love of sauna culture is embedded in every detail start to finish.

Collaborative, honest, creative and straightforward. We're here to guide the process, bring ideas to the table, and build you the sauna of your dreams!

Getting started is simple. Reach out through our contact form — we’ll walk you through the next steps and answer any questions along the way. We are sauna enthusiasts! Let’s get stoked about all things sauna.

After an initial conversation where you share your dreams, we can begin sketching up the steam. Once you’ve paid your design fee, we’ll provide a transparent quote along with your custom design. From there we can make adjustments if needed! Once the design has gotten the stamp of approval, we’ll turn those blueprints into your dream sauna in our warehouse! Once the sauna build is complete and dreamy- we send it on a big ol’ truck straight to you!

Pricing is based on a number of different things: sauna size (2 person, 4 person, etc), wood finish types (interior/exterior), heat source (wood or electric), and a long list of custom finishes you can choose from. Typical price range: $17,500-$35,000 and up.

Since your sauna will be built offsite and delivered it will be important to make sure you’ve got an appropriate site prepared! We can go over the details of this once we get the ball rolling and you can expect to receive a detailed spec of what’s needed for your sauna. Sundog Sauna may be able to assist with site prep services if you live locally (Methow Valley, Washington).

There is a long list of well-supported health benefits, especially with a regular sauna practice (4–7 times per week is where the magic happens and stronger cardiovascular benefits start to show. This is one of the biggest pros for building your own sauna! Regular use is key. The Finnish folk sauna almost daily).

With a regular sauna practice you will begin to see and feel the magic of sauna:

• Stress relief and happier mental state: The heat encourages relaxation and triggers endorphin release.

• Better sleep quality

• Cardiovascular health: A hot sauna raises your heart rate and improves circulation, similar to exercise.

• May lower blood pressure over time

• Associated with reduced risk of heart disease and stroke

• Helps improve blood vessel function

• Helps relieve muscle soreness after exercise

• May reduce joint stiffness and pain (useful for arthritis)

• Speeds up recovery by improving circulation

A regular sauna practice can support heart health, relaxation, recovery, and overall well-being and happiness. We’re sold on sauna. It’s more than just a healthy habit, it’s a lifestyle where a daily dose of sweat unlocks a magic like no other.
