Winter Escape
We installed the Backyard Discovery Paxton 4-Person Sauna this winter, and living in the Midwest, it has been one of the best additions to our home. When the temperatures drop and the snow starts piling up, stepping into the warmth of this sauna feels like pure luxury. What I love most is how it brings a bit of Finnish culture into our backyard. The ritual of heating up the sauna, sitting in the deep, dry heat, and then stepping outside into the cold air feels both invigorating and grounding—exactly the way sauna was meant to be experienced. There’s something incredibly satisfying about going from a 180° sauna into crisp Midwestern winter air. The Paxton sauna is the perfect size for our family or a small group of friends. Four adults can sit comfortably, and the layout makes it easy to relax without feeling cramped. The wood interior gives it that authentic sauna feel and smell, which really adds to the experience. It also holds heat impressively well—even on the coldest Midwest days. Once it’s warmed up, the temperature stays consistent and creates that deep, enveloping heat that sauna lovers appreciate. Assembly took some time, but the instructions were clear and the quality of the materials was solid. Once it was up and running, it quickly became part of our winter routine. If you live somewhere with real winters and appreciate the Finnish tradition of sauna culture, the Backyard Discovery Paxton sauna is absolutely worth it. It turns even the coldest days into something to look forward to.
Love my Sauna
I bought this in March 2026. I had a problem with shipping, and Backyard Discovery's customer service was outstanding. No matter what problem you might have their customer service will help without question. The Wifi doesn't work however it's not a deal breaker for me. The heater has been very good and heat up quickly. The kit looks daunting, (come's in 8 boxes) but the directions easy to follow. I highly recommend this product.
Buy it already!
I purchased the 4-6 person Paxton Barrel Sauna about 2 months ago and I have been very impressed with the product and the results. The price is extremely competitive with other barrel saunas and the "extras" that are a part of many other barrel saunas are standard with Backyard Discovery's Paxton Sauna. I built the foundation out of pavers and river rock while waiting for the delivery. The delivery was on time and easy. I followed the recommendation to lay out all of the parts before assembling and I am glad that I did because it was a time saver in the assembly process. I would say that I have average to slightly above average mechanical and woodworking skills and assembling this sauna was surprisingly easy. The step by step guide as well as the BILT App was very helpful for the whole process. I would say that in all it took about 9 hours for the full assembly. Follow the guide book and use the rope (not included) during the stave assembly and you will do just fine. You will need a professional electrician to wire the 240 to your sauna. You can get everything ready for the electrician to hook the 240 in if you want, or you can have your electrician do that for you. My electrician decided to run a 110 to the back of the sauna as well so that the LED light was kept separate from the 240, but that is not a requirement according to the manual. The sauna generates heat quickly and we are able to use the sauna once the electrician finished the job and we completed the hour long heat up process as recommended in the manual. I researched many different saunas and I decided to go with the Paxton because I felt (based on reviews and my comparison shopping) that I would get a tremendous value for my money. I am very satisfied with my purchase and the performance of the sauna. If you are not sure if you should make the purchase or not, I say do it! You will be glad you did.
