Notes for hosts
- Guests
- Six people and 91" at the peak, so taller guests can stand. Show the cedar interior and the ceiling lights in the listing photos.
- Space and power
- It needs 240V / 40 amp for the stove and 120V / 15 amp for lights and music; Golden Designs says to consult a certified electrician. Allow 73" x 90" including the overhang, on a level base.
- Warranty
- Golden Designs gives 5 years on the wood structure, control panel and lights, and the stove has its maker's warranty. It doesn't apply after "full commercial use", which isn't defined, and rentals aren't mentioned. Ask us before you rely on it at a rental.
- Upkeep
- Golden Designs says no cleaning agents inside: wipe the benches and walls down with a cloth and water only.
- Rest hour
- Every Golden Designs manual says: “For every four hours ON, the sauna must be turned OFF for one hour to cool down.” The cleaner's checklist in the Host Launch Pack passes it on.
Will it fit your site?
Five questions about your spot. The plan is drawn to scale from the maker's measurements, with the door swing and a 1.75 m person beside it.

What the makers say about rental use
Their words, quoted and linked. The linked document is what counts.Golden Designs
Model by model
Golden Designs' warranty page excludes "full commercial use" without defining it. The Arlberg, Vorarlberg and Gargellen manuals give 1 year for commercial use; on the Klosters and Kaarina, plan as if a rental might not be covered.
“This warranty does not apply if the unit has been subject to full commercial use, negligence, alteration, modification, misuse, abuse, ...”
Arlberg / Vorarlberg and Gargellen manuals: “Limited Lifetime Warranty of Sauna Products is 5 years for residential use and 1 year for commercial use on wood structure (when properly maintained), control panel, and applicable control panel harnesses and lights from the date of purchase.”
Cover: Limited lifetime; 5 years on the wood structure, control panel and lights. The stove is covered by its maker's warranty.

Non-consumer periods
Harvia lists separate periods for non-consumer use. A rental heater is likely to fall there: 2 years on electric heaters and controls, 6 months on heating elements.
“The Warranty Period for any Product shall expire immediately if the primary intended use of the Product changes during the Warranty Period from family use to non-consumer, or vice versa.”
Cover: Family use: heaters and controls 2 years (+1 year if an electric heater is registered). Commercial use: heaters and controls 2 years, heating elements 6 months.

Quotes are from each maker's published warranty, checked 30 October 2026 (SaunaLife: 2 November 2026, its Rev 260915 document). Warranty terms are the maker's, not ours; the linked document is what counts.

Work out your payback
Your nightly numbers, your install quote. We don't guess the extra a sauna earns: you put that in from listings near you.
Before you order
Who am I buying from?
Stay Sauna Co., a trading name of ZEN STUDIOS LTD (a UK company, no. 14934092), run from Manchester by Donald Okonkwo. You pay us, we confirm the details with you, and your order is shipped by our US distributor or the manufacturer's US warehouse. See About.
What do I pay on top of the price?
Freight, where the product page shows a freight charge, and sales tax where it applies, which checkout shows before you pay. Some remote or rural addresses carry an extra delivery fee from the carrier. We quote it before we place the order, and if you'd rather not pay it, you can cancel for a full refund. Installation, electrical work and the base are yours to arrange.
Can I cancel my order?
Yes. Changed your mind? Cancel any time before it ships for a full refund: email us.
Can I return it?
Yes, within 30 days from delivery, if it's unopened and unused. A 25% restocking fee applies, and you pay the return freight. Email us first for the return address and the steps. The full terms are in the refund policy.
When will it ship?
Most orders ship within 5 business days of order confirmation. Some models take longer, and we confirm the date by email. We send you the tracking details when it ships.
