Welcome to Nightjar, where the ancient tradition of Finnish sauna meets modern craftsmanship right here in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Our journey began with a simple passion: a dedication to creating high-end, design-forward saunas that offer an authentic sauna experience like no other.
The idea for Nightjar was born during the challenges of the COVID-19, when daily routines were disrupted, including my regular sauna sessions at the gym. Determined to continue this rejuvenating ritual, I purchased a barrel sauna, but soon realized it didn't quite meet my standards. The benches were too low, the insulation was lacking, and the sauna experience just didn't feel right without the crackle of quality sauna stones on the stove.
Frustrated by the lack of options that combined authenticity with aesthetic appeal, I decided to take matters into my own hands. Drawing upon my experience as a general contractor and our team's expertise in fine carpentry, we set out to create a sauna that not only met, but exceeded our expectations.
At Nightjar, we appreciate the rich tradition of Finnish sauna culture. In Finland, sauna is not just a bath; it's a ritual deeply ingrained in everyday life. It's a place for relaxation, reflection, and socializing—a sanctuary for both body and mind. Our saunas are crafted to capture the essence of Finnish design principles — from the warmth of the wood to the functionality of every detail. We believe in the transformative power of sauna bathing, promoting both physical well-being and mental relaxation.
What sets Nightjar apart is our commitment to local craftsmanship and quality. Each sauna is hand-built right here in Grand Rapids, Michigan, ensuring that every piece meets our exacting standards before it's hand-delivered to your doorstep, fully assembled and ready for immediate use.
Whether you're looking to unwind after a long day or seeking a deeper connection to sauna tradition, Nightjar is here to elevate your sauna experience. Join us on our journey as we continue to redefine what it means to relax, rejuvenate, and reconnect — one sauna at a time.
