Sauna Tradition Meets Michigan Craftsmanship

Our Story

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...

Why Contrast Therapy?

Sauna and cold plunge therapies offer a host of health benefits that go beyond just relaxation. Saunas, especially those following the Finnish tradition, help to relax muscles, improve circulation, and promote detoxification through sweat.

This contrast therapy not only boosts cardiovascular health but also strengthens the immune system and provides a natural energy boost. Together, sauna and cold plunge sessions offer a powerful combination for overall well-being, from physical health to mental clarity...
