2024 was a year of remarkable craftsmanship and inspired design in the world of outdoor Nordic saunas. At Cedar & Stone Nordic Sauna, we’ve had the privilege of bringing dream sauna spaces to across the map —each one a reflection of our clients’ unique landscapes, lifestyles, and commitment to authentic heat. From coast to coast, these builds showcase the best in natural materials, thoughtful layout, and the timeless tradition of sauna.
