Nightjar Sauna
The Petoskey Sauna
Couldn't load pickup availability
Small footprint. Full Finnish experience.
Named for Michigan's beloved stone, the PETOSKEY is built for couples, smaller families, and yards that don't have room to spare. Compact, not compromised — two proper benches, real cedar, and a 6kW IKI stove that gets genuinely hot.
Classic proportions, custom-built to your specifications, one board at a time in Grand Rapids, Michigan.
- Seats 2–3 adults in a 7' × 6'3" footprint that fits where bigger saunas can't.
- Full-size window — the smallest sauna we build gets the biggest view.
- Efficient 6kW IKI stove on a 30A circuit — lower install cost, lower operating cost.
- We deliver and set it ourselves. Not a freight drop. See how delivery works.

Electrical & Site Requirements
Electrical: 240V, 30A regular (non-GFCI) breaker minimum · 10/3 with ground wire, minimum. That's a lighter circuit than our larger saunas — often the cheapest electrical install of the three. Sauna heaters trip GFCI breakers by design, which is why saunas and cold plunges need different circuits. Have the circuit run before delivery day; your licensed electrician makes the final connection after we set the sauna.
Site: Flat, level, load-bearing pad sized to the full 7' × 6'3" footprint and rated for 2,800 lbs. Concrete, compacted gravel, pavers, or engineered decking all work. We walk your site and confirm the path in months before we build.
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.
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.
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.
