CUSTOM SAUNAS STARTED WITH AN IDEA

Striving To Climb Every Mountain We Can Find

BW’s Founder Jayson Stolp grew up in Northern Minnesota where the active outdoor lifestyle founds its way into every home. From the sandy beaches of the south shore of Superior, to the long winding paths of the north country trail. Finding his passion in construction and fine craftsmanship he got inspired to bring this skill set to crafting custom saunas that truly represent American made

What If, Quality Saunas Could Be For Everyone

“I’d say, BW’s mission is to bring the sauna experience to the people who build the cities we live in. Sauna’s shouldn’t just be for the multi million dollar mansions.”

Custom saunas should be something every day families can afford. Sauna can be a cornerstone of our peace of mind, health and rejuvenation. That’s why our saunas are made for the same communities that build them. It represents the meaningful craftsmanship that Northern Minnesota is known for.
