About

Driftwood is a mobile, wood-fired sauna designed for up to eight people. The idea was born on the south shore of Lake Superior and shaped by the rustic sauna traditions of Minnesota’s north woods. Sauna is a Finnish word pronounced “sow-na”, but however you say it, and whatever your experience level, you’re welcome here!

With it’s home base among the pines at Tamarack Nature Center, Driftwood offers a calm, grounding escape from the pace of daily life. Step inside and settle into the heat.

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