About

Driftwood is a mobile, wood-fired sauna that seats 6-8 people. The idea for Driftwood was born on the south shore of Lake Superior but takes inspiration from the rustic saunas of Minnesota’s north woods. Sauna is a Finnish word, and the Finns say it like this—“sow-na.” But whatever your experience with the sauna or however you pronounce it, you’re welcome at Driftwood.

Driftwood Sauna was custom built by the talented Forge Saunas in the St. Croix River valley and features an efficient and clean-burning Kuuma wood stove, which was manufactured in Tower, Minnesota.
