An authentic 8kW wood-fired style sauna for 3 people who want real high heat in the backyard.
The Savonlinna is a traditional barn-style outdoor sauna built with an all-weather exterior and a Canadian Red Cedar interior. Its 8.0kW stove pushes the cabin to an ideal range of 170 to 185 F and up to 190 F, well above what an infrared cabin reaches. At 73 by 70 inches exterior (the roof overhang adds 4 more inches of depth), it fits 3 people and needs a dedicated outdoor spot with a 240V circuit.
Why this model
- 8.0kW stove with built in controls delivers true high heat sauna bathing, not infrared warmth.
- Canadian Red Cedar interior over an all-weather exterior shell, built to live outside year round.
- Interior galaxy star color therapy lighting plus a Bluetooth and FM sound system for an evening ritual.
- Comes with a sandglass, bucket and scoop for classic ladling sessions on the stones.
- Bronze tinted tempered glass door lets daylight into the cabin.

Fit, power and setup
This is an outdoor unit, so plan a level pad sized for the 73 by 70 inch footprint (74 inches deep with the roof overhang) and about 7 feet 5 inches of clearance for the 89 inch height. It needs two circuits, a 240V / 40 amp line for the stove and a 120V / 15 amp line for the lighting and sound, both installed by a licensed electrician. It ships freight in 11 boxes to a curbside delivery point, and the carrier will call ahead to schedule, so keep a working phone number on the order.
Good to know
- This is a traditional, high-heat sauna, not an infrared model, so expect stove smell and real steam if you ladle water on the stones.
- The 240V / 40 amp stove circuit is a job for a licensed electrician, plan that into your timeline.
- Outdoor placement only, on a level, well-drained surface.
Cedar wood can cause skin or eye irritation, or an allergic skin or breathing reaction, in some people. Stop use if this happens. Actual wood tone and glass tint can look slightly different from the website photos because of lighting during the photo shoot.
