The traditional sauna. Hand-built, one board at a time. The MANISTEE is the sauna most of our customers end up in — a real, traditional Finnish-style sauna, big enough for the whole family and sized to fit a real backyard. Three benches, 6'4" long, aromatic Grade A cedar, and a 9kW IKI stove that makes proper löyly — genuine heat and steam, the way sauna has been done for centuries. Hand-built in Grand Rapids, Michigan, to order. Not assembled from a kit — constructed board by board by the crew whose name is on it. Seats 4–6 adults on three full-length 6'4" benches. Premium Grade A cedar throughout — natural, black, or a custom stain matched to your home. Wi-Fi connected IKI 9kW stove — start the sauna from your phone on the drive home. We deliver and set it ourselves. Not a freight drop. See how delivery works. Hot meets cold Add a cold plunge to your sauna.We’ll cover the extras. Contrast therapy — hot, then cold — is a true reset. Order a sauna and add a cold plunge, and we’ll take care of the rest to get you in. Free shipping On the whole order — sauna and plunge, delivered and placed by our crew. Free stain upgrade on your plunge Matched to your sauna’s finish, on the house. Your sauna stain is priced as usual. Included on Neighbor and Local deliveries when a cold plunge is added to a sauna order. The Long Haul doesn’t qualify. .nj-contrast{--nj-char:#23201c;--nj-cream:#f4efe6;--nj-ember:#c65a34;--nj-cold:#6d94a6;font-family:ui-sans-serif,-apple-system,"Segoe UI",Roboto,Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;background:radial-gradient(120% 90% at 18% 0%,rgba(198,90,52,0.18) 0%,rgba(198,90,52,0) 55%),radial-gradient(120% 90% at 85% 100%,rgba(109,148,166,0.20) 0%,rgba(109,148,166,0) 55%),var(--nj-char);color:var(--nj-cream);border-radius:20px;padding:clamp(28px,5vw,48px);box-sizing:border-box;margin:28px 0;} .nj-contrast *{box-sizing:border-box;} .nj-contrast__inner{max-width:760px;margin:0 auto;} .nj-contrast__eyebrow{display:inline-flex;align-items:center;gap:10px;font-size:12px;letter-spacing:0.18em;text-transform:uppercase;color:#d9cfc0;font-weight:600;margin-bottom:16px;} .nj-dot{width:9px;height:9px;border-radius:50%;display:inline-block;} .nj-dot--hot{background:var(--nj-ember);box-shadow:0 0 12px rgba(198,90,52,0.9);} .nj-dot--cold{background:var(--nj-cold);box-shadow:0 0 12px rgba(109,148,166,0.9);} .nj-contrast__title{font-size:clamp(24px,4vw,36px);line-height:1.12;margin:0 0 14px;font-weight:700;letter-spacing:-0.01em;color:var(--nj-cream);} .nj-contrast__lede{font-size:clamp(15px,2vw,18px);line-height:1.6;color:#e6ddd0;margin:0 0 26px;max-width:60ch;} .nj-perks{display:grid;grid-template-columns:1fr 1fr;gap:16px;margin-bottom:24px;} @media (max-width:560px){.nj-perks{grid-template-columns:1fr;}} .nj-perk{display:flex;gap:14px;align-items:flex-start;background:rgba(244,239,230,0.05);border:1px solid rgba(244,239,230,0.12);border-radius:14px;padding:18px 20px;} .nj-perk__icon{flex:none;width:40px;height:40px;border-radius:10px;display:grid;place-items:center;background:rgba(198,90,52,0.16);color:var(--nj-ember);} .nj-perk__icon svg{width:22px;height:22px;} .nj-perk__text h3{margin:2px 0 4px;font-size:16px;font-weight:650;color:var(--nj-cream);} .nj-perk__text p{margin:0;font-size:14px;line-height:1.5;color:#cfc6b8;} .nj-fineprint{margin:0;font-size:13px;line-height:1.5;color:#b6ac9d;max-width:52ch;} .nj-fineprint strong{color:#e6ddd0;} Specifications Capacity & comfort Comfortably seats 4–6 adults Three 6'4" benches, tiered for a range of heat Bench dimensions (height from floor × depth): upper 44" × 21.5", middle 26" × 21.5", bottom 9" × 12.5" Dimensions & construction 8' long × 8' deep × 104" tall, exterior footprint Interior walkway: 29" standard / 34" with the full-size window — the glass acts as the wall, widening the aisle Approximately 3,200 lbs Premium Grade A cedar, built to order Powder-coated metal base Half-size window standard Right or left door orientation What's Included Wi-Fi connected IKI 9kW stove with sauna rocks HUUM Wi-Fi controller 15-minute sand timer Robe hooks Door sweep and self-closing hinges Bench lighting and soft outdoor porch lights Options & Upgrades Wood-fired IKI stove in place of electric — +$1,000 Full-size window upgrade — +$1,500 Black stain — +$1,500 Custom exterior stain match — +$1,700 Want it longer? We extend any build by the foot: Hot room — $2,000 per foot (more length means more bench, and bench is where the work is) Porch — $1,000 per foot Electrical & Site Requirements Electrical: 240V, 50A regular (non-GFCI) breaker minimum · 6/3 with ground wire, minimum. Sauna heaters trip GFCI breakers by design — this is why saunas and cold plunges need different circuits. Have the circuit run to the sauna location before delivery day; your licensed electrician makes the final connection to the stove after we set it. Wood-fired builds skip this entirely. Site: Flat, level, load-bearing pad sized to the full 8' × 8' footprint and rated for 3,200 lbs. Concrete, compacted gravel, pavers, or engineered decking all work. The path in has to accommodate the whole building — we walk your site and confirm gates, slope, and clearance months before we build. Full Delivery & Installation guide Delivery & Lead Time Hand-built to order — 10 to 12 weeks from deposit for most builds. Our crew delivers and sets the sauna, levels it, confirms the door swings true, and walks you through the stove and controller. Plan on about half a day on site. $600 curbside delivery within five hours of Grand Rapids, Michigan. Outside that radius, delivery and installation are quoted individually — we ship nationally and we'll give you a real number on your consult call. Adding a cold plunge to your sauna? Delivery on the whole order is on us for Neighbor and Local distances. Warranty 5 years — structure, craftsmanship, roof, and base 2 years — electrical components 2 years — hardware (hinges, latches, minor adjustments) Manufacturer warranties on IKI stoves and HUUM Wi-Fi controllers transfer to you. Support comes from the shop that built it — a builder answers, not a call center. Want a Changing Room? Meet the Mackinac — coming soon The MACKINAC is a Manistee with a 4' changing room built on — 14' overall. Full glass window wall across the hot room and changing room, a 110V outlet in the changing room, lighting under the changing bench, and low-voltage LED throughout. $35,000. Ask about it on your consult call. Pair It With a Cold Plunge Contrast therapy — heat, then cold — is the full practice, and we build both sides of it in one shop, in the same cedar and the same stain. If you're planning both, plan them together: one pad, one electrician visit, two circuits. See the Cold Plunge. Ready to sauna every day? Book a consultation call — we'll walk your site, confirm your electrical, and design your Manistee.
