About
Von Sauna runs two wood-fired saunas on barges moored at the public pier in the Carillon Point marina, on Lake Washington. Social sessions sell a seat and let guests move between the cedar and magnolia saunas. The cold plunge is the lake itself, down a swim ladder.
Good to know
- Wood-fired heat: softer, heavier löyly than electric, and the smell of the stove is part of the room.
- Direct lake access: most visitors plunge straight into the water between sauna rounds.
- Cold plunge available on site: use it between rounds for the classic contrast cycle.
- Set up outdoors: weather is part of the experience, so dress for the walk between cabin and water.
- Urban venue: it sits inside the city rather than at a coast or lake. A session fits into a day in town.
- Swimwear sauna: some or all sessions are taken in swimwear, so pack it.
- Bookable as a private session: rent the room for your group rather than sharing with strangers.
