Saunas around Dane County.
Every Badger Sauna gets written up here: the yard, the challenge, the permit and the first fire. Named by neighborhood, never by address.
Our first twelve installs, the Founding Season builds, will appear here through winter 2026–27. Want yours to be one of them?
Real yards, real winters.
No staged showrooms. Each write-up is the honest story of one install, so you can picture yours.
The yard
Slope, soil, trees, the path from the back door, and where the sauna ended up and why.
The hard part
Tight gates, lakefront setbacks, old sheds and power runs. What was tricky and how we solved it.
The permit
Which permits that town required, how long they took, and what the inspector asked.
First fire
Heat-up time on a real Wisconsin night, and what the owners said after round one.
Your privacy
Neighborhood and town only, approximate map pins, and nothing published until you've read it.
Your words
If you'd like, a line or two in your own words. Never scripted, never required.
