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.
