About Nomad Sauna

Nomad Sauna is a custom barrel sauna builder founded in 2018 in Minnesota and headquartered in Hudson, Wisconsin. Unlike kit sauna companies, every Nomad sauna is handbuilt from scratch by a team of 8 skilled craftspeople — no kits, no prefab assembly, no shortcuts.

We specialize in four sauna categories: backyard barrel saunas, mobile sauna trailers, floating saunas, and commercial-grade saunas for hotels, resorts, and rental businesses. Our signature Yakisugi (Shou Sugi Ban) torched cedar finish is a Japanese wood preservation technique that enhances durability and creates a distinctive charred aesthetic.

As one of North America's first mobile sauna companies, Nomad has built and delivered custom barrel saunas to owners in over 30 states. Every sauna ships fully assembled and ready to use — no on-site construction required.
