Almost Heaven Appalachia 6-Person Outdoor Cabin Sauna

• Please note: Due to the size of the Appalachia, it will ship via a flatbed truck and will not fit on a liftgate. This means that you will be responsible for offloading the sauna. We recommend gathering 3-4 people to offload the sauna piece by piece or renting a forklift. Alternatively, you can add a Driver Offload service at checkout if you would like a hands-off offloading experience.

Almost Heaven Appalachia 6-Person Outdoor Cabin Sauna

The Appalachia will impress anyone who steps foot inside the sauna. It has a full front porch, an attached changing room, and a spacious sauna room. The changing room can be outfitted with a variety of furniture or hooks, and is the perfect spot to get ready for a sauna even in the middle of winter. The sauna room has two bench levels, which can be split between six people for a sauna party or allow just a few people to stretch out and relax. The cabin design includes a sloping roof, interlocking timber pieces, a railing, and solid lumber. The sauna room can be outfitted with a Harvia 8kW electric heater or a wood-burning stove. If you favor convenience, the electric heater can delay the start time up to eight hours before it heats the room up to temperatures of 180ºF. Upgrade any backyard, retreat, or lodge with the Appalachia cabin sauna!

Care & Maintenance

Traditional saunas require very little upkeep. Simply wipe down the interior after each use and check for any dust or debris that you may have tracked in.

Shipping & Assembly

The Appalachia will ship via a flatbed truck. 

Some basic handyman skills are helpful when assembling the sauna. The only additional equipment needed is a cordless drill. Two people can generally do the assembly in 6 hours or less. It is recommended that you review the assembly manual in advance to familiarize yourself with the process.

Two Ways to Enjoy Your Sauna

Heater and stones are essential to a traditional sauna experience. With the room at least heated to 160ºF, the traditional sauna can be enjoyed in two ways. The first is called a dry sauna, which lacks any added moisture. The second is called a wet sauna, where you sprinkle water onto the heated stones to create a refreshing burst of steam and added humidity.
