Sauna House Asheville
The original Sauna House location. When founder Andrew first began searching for a place to bring the concept to life, he stumbled upon a cold, dark warehouse shell. Alongside Laura Evans and Brent Campbell, he set out to transform it into something thoughtfully designed but unpretentious—nice, but not "bougie." Drawing on the expertise of his father, a historic building and preservation specialist, Andrew took on the challenge, losing countless hours of sleep obsessing over every detail and laying the foundation for what Sauna House would become.
Our Offerings Offerings
Thermal Cycle
A traditional Thermal Cycle encourages the rotation between traditional saunas, cold pools, and open space to relax. Multiple rounds of hot, cold, and rest make for a complete nervous system reset. Our two-hour experience is designed to support whole-body recovery and mental clarity. Move at your own pace in a relaxed social setting and discover the power of contrast therapy.

To kick off your bathhouse experience, take a hot shower to remove any lotions, oils, fragrances, or other residues. This helps protect the sauna's wood and keeps the environment clean for everyone.
We call our bathing routine the Hot Cold Relax circuit. It begins with up to 15 minutes in the sauna, followed by a refreshing cold shower to rinse off any sweat before entering the cold plunge, where you can stay for up to 3 minutes. Afterward, unwind and rehydrate in our lounge for 10-15 minutes before starting the cycle again. These steps are simply recommendations; we encourage guests to follow their own pace and do what feels most comfortable.
You’ll have access to our showers and locker room, cold shower, cold plunge, traditional cedar sauna, aspen wood wet sauna, and lounge areas with Galanter & Jones heated benches.
You will need a non-sheer bathing suit that provides reasonable coverage.
We provide towels, private changing rooms, and showers with our in-house line of bathing products. Samples of our body oils are available at checkout.
We recommend that bathers bring a reusable water bottle to stay hydrated. No glass in the bathhouse please.
We have flip flops available to borrow, but if you prefer, please bring your own, clean bathhouse footwear.
