About North Shore Sauna
North Shore Sauna is the first U.S.-based sauna tent company, proudly founded in Duluth, Minnesota - where cold winters and hot saunas go hand in hand. What started with one sauna tent and a passion for heat turned into a movement, as our founder, a lifelong sauna enthusiast and U.S. veteran, began renting saunas to his local community to share the experience he grew up with. His mission was simple: make the authentic sauna experience accessible to everyone - no matter their budget, living situation, or location. Today, that mission lives on in every portable sauna we offer, from solo setups to group domes. Whether you're deep in the woods, parked by the ocean, or relaxing in your own backyard, North Shore Sauna has a solution to bring the heat.

This tent and stove have been an excellent purchase! It works great, and we have really enjoyed it! If you like a sauna and want one quick or would like a portable sauna I would highly recommend purchasing from North Shore Sauna! We first tried a cheap setup off of Amazon which was pretty much useless, luckily we were able to return it! The only advice I have for anyone that decides to purchase a sauna tent and stove from North Shore Sauna is if you like a hot sauna the stove works better if you leave out the bottom of the rock basket and just let the rocks sit on top of the stove. If you don’t care for a super hot sauna it works fine to leave it.

The perfect size and amount of rocks for the mini stove!

Love everything that was part of the sauna kit!

This was the perfect gift!

Have a slightly older model, and it holds up extremely well. I've heard amazing things about customer service if poles break. Ours is 6+ years old, maybe a few seasons left before we need a replacement cover.

Glad I purchased these rocks, perfect sizes of rocks for my heater. I used them with no issues and they hold heat....I was nervous about buying rocks from just anywhere. I wanted rocks that were high quality....and these are it.

This has been a great purchase! Quality product and easy to assemble. Love supporting a MN company. Would highly recommend.

Everything I’ve ordered from Northshore sauna has arrived promptly and has met all my expectations.

Fits and doesn't leak. I got two to move my stove over a few inches and give myself more space in my tent. Worked like a charm

Great customer service. Quick delivery. Everything to satisfaction.

What an amazing product! So easy to use ,and the support you get from staff is number one,customer for life

The stones basket is a perfect fit for the sauna stove. Rocks stay neatly contained and heat quickly and safely.
Extremely satisfied!

Ive had this sauna for 4 months and can tell you it is awesome, high quality and worth the investment. The zippers are well made, tent is strong, and rain cover is solid. The stove absolutely rips, even at 5F I could still get the stove to 185 F. I’ve had the sauna over 200 F. Overall it works exceptionally well and provides relaxation in my back yard and I plan to take it on canoe trips to sauna and cold plunge in the lake. If you’re on the fence, get one, I use mine 2-3 times per week, sometimes more. It’s a great wellness tool to wind down and relax.

Purchased this over a month ago and absolutely love it! Set up initially in WI and then moved to rooftop in Chicago (on cement board). Pretty easy to move with help from husband and son. Gets super hot if you build the fire correctly. We are now using a mix of seasoned (slow burn/less heat) and kiln dried (fast burn/lots'o heat). Totally recommend this set up. Customer service is outstanding.

I wanted to wait until our first night in the sauna with our new heater to write a review. It was fabulous! After letting the heater run for an hour or so, it was an amazingly enjoyable experience. Installing the heater did not require an "engineer". It took seconds to light the fire, as the rocks in the box heated up quickly. Add a few drops of scented oil on the to add to an exceptional experience! We could not be happier with our North Shore Heater.
