Our pick is the Setri 6-person with changing room (6′ x 12′: an 8-foot sauna room plus a 4-foot changing room), from $12,490, or $12,990 with Setri’s outside-fed wood stove.

Peter Ahlers-Nelson
Mike with Cedar Sense helped me get set up with an absolutely beautiful 6 person barrel sauna. We live in the mountains and opted for the iki wood heater and a big window to enjoy the view. The build construction was high quality. I had seen multiple other kits and barrel saunas and this one was over the top in being well made. We chose a metal roof due to the snow load as well. Mike delivered it and set it up perfectly on our back deck. The whole process was seamless and his communication was great. I would strongly recommend using Cedar Sense. In addition, he is always around and helpful for questions and anything else needed.
Brian Unterman
Mike … the owner is ‘amazing’ to work with, helpful, responsive & very knowledgeable. The ‘hot tub’ itself is attractive to look at, has a very efficient wood burner (WOW) & feels good size & shape wise when you are in the water. I’m very pleased. Tim

Cedar Sense was great to work with. They provided us with tongue-n-groove planking, glass framed entry door, sized & provided the sauna heater while promptly delivering our order. They also answered numerous questions while offering lots of free sensible advice. Highly recommend you reach out to Cedar Sense for all your Sauna needs.

Couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Micheal is a top notch guy, spent all the time on the phone with me to not only give me information and insights on the saunas but also ideas that could help direct us and our business in the right direction! The sauna was bigger and more impressive than I would have imagined! So pleased with our purchase!

How to choose a barrel sauna with a changing room
We carry 3 barrel saunas with a changing room, priced from $12,490 to $14,490.
The changing room has its own door, so the hot room never opens straight onto the yard. That keeps the heat in, keeps snow off the benches and gives you a dry place for clothes, towels and phones. Every Setri barrel is built from 1.2" Grade A knotty Western Red Cedar in Northern Minnesota and delivered fully assembled by our own team anywhere in the USA.

Best barrel sauna for cold climates
For long, snowy winters we recommend a changing-room barrel. You change out of the wind, the hot room only opens into the changing room, and wet boots and coats stay out of the sauna. Setri barrels are built in Northern Minnesota with 1.2-inch cedar staves, roof edges that shed snow and water, and a flat floor with screened drains. Pair it with the outside-fed wood stove if your power goes out in storms. Our cold-climate pick is the Setri 6-Person with Changing Room; for bigger groups, the 8-Person with Changing Room and Porch adds a porch that keeps snow off the door.
Our picks
- Best overall: Setri 6-Person with Changing Room, from $12,490.
- Best for groups: Setri 8-Person with Changing Room, from $14,490.
- Best of both: Setri 8-Person with Changing Room and Porch, from $15,690 with the porch.
Plan your space
- These barrels are 12 to 14 feet long and weigh about 1,800 to 2,100 lbs, so plan a level, well-drained base for the full length.
- Fully assembled barrels need a clear delivery path. Send us photos or a video of the route.
