We sat down with Megan from Nordic Escape to talk about how their backyard sauna turned into something much bigger than they expected.

What started as a personal wellness investment quickly evolved into a space shared with the community hosting open sauna sessions, creating connection, and building a routine people genuinely look forward to.

Megan and her husband chose our Tuli model to anchor the experience balancing function, design, and the kind of heat that keeps people coming back.

In this conversation, she breaks down:
• Why they decided to invest in a sauna
• How it fits into their daily life
• What it’s been like opening their space to others
• And what they’d tell anyone considering it

If you’ve ever thought about adding a sauna not just for yourself, but as a space that brings people together this is worth the watch.

This Superior model came to life over the winter in collaboration with JCH Concrete & Landscaping completely transforming this homeowner’s backyard into a space that’s meant to be experienced, not just looked at.

From the foundation work to the final structure, every piece was designed to work together seamlessly. The result is a sauna that feels grounded in the space like it’s always belonged there while elevating how the entire yard is used year-round.

Projects like this don’t happen by accident. They come from the right vision, the right partners, and a commitment to doing things the right way.

We’ll be sharing the full reveal soon.

Natalie shares what it’s been like living with her Kota model from Northern Steam not just the build process, but how it’s become part of her everyday routine in Maple Grove.

From quiet moments to consistent use, this is what a backyard sauna looks like after the install is long done.
