BUILT IN THE USA WITH PREMIUM CEDAR
Each Charlie Cabin is handcrafted in Ohio using U.S.-sourced Western Red Cedar and a combination of Finn American and Amish craftsmanship. The result is a long-lasting cedar sauna with natural resistance to weather, insects, and decay—ideal for year-round outdoor use or indoor installation. The cabin design is simple, sturdy, and requires virtually no maintenance.

The Charlie Cabin includes the Homecraft Revive Slim 6kW heater with UKU remote and mobile app control – engineered for high performance in compact spaces. Designed for traditional wet or dry sauna use, the Charlie reaches temperatures from 110°F to 200°F, with an ideal operating range of 175°F to 195°F. It can be installed indoors or outdoors and assembled in just a few hours by 2–3 people. While not intended for frequent disassembly, the structure can be carefully relocated if needed, offering flexibility without compromising durability.
NOTES ON ELECTRICAL CONNECTION:
SISU’s heating options are run on a dedicated 240v hardwired line. They recommend contracting an electrician to run the electrical. Estimated costs depending on location: $500-$1,500.
