Barrel Saunas, Royalton Minnesota

We are a small family owned company located in Royalton, MN. Our main products are Barrel Saunas and Accessories. We make these out of high grade Cedar in our one man shop and sell them directly to our customers.

We realize that clients want both an excellent product and delivery in a timely and professional manner. With this thought in mind, I monitor my email daily and will respond as soon as possible.

Let us know what you have in mind and we can work together. A time schedule can be established so that your sauna can be delivered on a date that is best for you.

My wife, Bonnie and I have one son who is 8 years old. Bonnie is an RN at a nearby hospital and I work in our shop. I have been working with wood my entire life, spending my early days working in my fathers shop.

2005 Our interests include, camping, bicycling, canoeing, boating, small outboard repair and fishing. This fall the three of us were able to spend nine days paddling down the Mississippi river. We paddled approximately 250 miles from Schoolcraft State Park to our home in Little Falls. This spring we hope to canoe from Itasca State park to Schoolcraft State park, another few hundred miles.

2006 This years canoe trip was great. We started near the Mississippi headwaters and paddled about 200 miles to Jacobson. We had great weather the entire time and again saw many animals. My highlights were seeing a Muskrat swimming under our canoe and also passing a duckling swimming under the water. We had a few freezing days but, it always warmed up quickly. I would recommend the first part of the Mississippi with it's steady current and narrow turns with the abundance of wildlife. We have no solid plans for next years trip but we're leaning towards a smaller river.

2007 has been a very busy year for the 3 of us. We sold our house in Little Falls and moved a few miles south to 5 acres near Royalton. We built a small shop and thanks to everyone, we've been able to settle in to our new surroundings. We spent most of our free time moving and setting up shop and were unable to make time for a canoe trip... hopefully next year.

2008 seemed to go by with a blur. Our customers kept me busy in the shop and in our "off" time we worked on our house. We had a great time at the Minnesota State Fair meeting new faces and talking to many people we delivered saunas to in the past year. We were able to deliver a couple of saunas to Colorado at Christmas and spent some time with family while we were there. We adopted a Bouvier Des Flanders puppy for our family. Her name is Bird and she has been a great addition to our family.

2009 was another great year for us. We finished our house and are settling in. We were able to go on a few day trips on the Mississippi river stopping and exploring a couple of islands with the canoe. We also went on a couple of short camping trips in the Chippewa National Forest and at a local State Forest. This year we adopted a tiny kitten named Roxi.
