THE CHARLIE CABIN SAUNA
COMPACT CEDAR SAUNA
The Charlie Cabin Sauna is a 6' x 4.5' Western Red Cedar unit designed to bring the benefits of traditional sauna therapy to your home or facility with minimal setup and long-term durability. Compact enough for smaller spaces yet spacious enough for up to four users (two comfortably), it’s a practical and efficient solution for anyone looking to add a reliable outdoor or indoor sauna to their wellness routine. In addition to the Charlie Cabin, SISU also offers a larger option in the Crew Cabin Sauna along with their original barrel-style saunas, giving you more options to match your space, aesthetic, and performance needs.
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.
RELIABLE HEAT OPTIONS
The Charlie Cabin includes your choice of a 6kW HUUM Drop heater (with UKU remote and mobile app control) or a Homecraft Revive Slim 6kW heater—both engineered for high performance in compact spaces. Designed for traditional wet or dry sauna use, the Charlie reaches temperatures from 110°F to 230°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.
COMPLETE PACKAGE
Unlike other sauna kits that require multiple upgrades or hidden add-ons, the Charlie Cabin is sold as a complete unit. The all-in price includes the cabin, your choice of heater, and all essential components. From backyard recovery spaces to dedicated home wellness areas, it’s a straightforward option for anyone seeking a dependable two-person outdoor sauna built to last.
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.

Health & Safety
Health & Safety Notes:
- SISU recommends starting with shorter, warm sessions. Limit your sauna sessions to 10 minutes at first. As you improve your tolerance, increase the temps by turning up the dial and add steam by pouring water over the rocks.
- Pair your sauna sessions with the Ice Barrel. Adding periods of cooling after being in the sauna presents health benefits. Benefits of cold water immersion start when you begin to sweat!
- Consult with your doctor. Stop if you begin to feel lightheaded, nauseated, weak, or experience other symptoms. If you have pre-existing medical conditions and are unsure if sauna therapy is right for you, please consult your physician.
