Von Sauna

I loved my sauna session! It’s a great vibe. It gets super hot! I love that we can just pop outside to cool down as needed. And if you’re brave enough, jump in the lake. It gets a little crowded but then people are coming and going so at one point I was in there alone! I can’t wait to come back. It was a great way to spend my birthday.

Such a great treat after a long hike! First time here and we had a really nice experience. The space was clean and booking was super easy. We loved having the option of a cold plunge or a refreshing bucket of cold water you can pour over yourself. Hot water and parking validation were a nice bonus. We’ll definitely be back!

This place is hands down one of the most unique and rejuvenating experiences I've had in the Pacific Northwest. This floating sauna, bobbing right on the serene waters of Lake Washington at Carillon Point, feels like a hidden gem inspired by Scandinavian traditions. The setup is incredible—the sauna features massive glass walls (large panoramic windows) that offer breathtaking views of the lake while you're heating up inside the wood-fired stove. It's cozy yet spacious, with benches that get deliciously hot, and the whole structure gently rocks with the water, adding to the relaxing vibe. But the real magic happens with the contrast therapy: heating up in the intense, soothing warmth and then diving straight into the crisp, cold Lake Washington. What a brilliant idea! The shock of the plunge is invigorating—it's exhilarating, energizing, and leaves you feeling completely reset and alive. I cycled between the sauna and the lake a few times, and each plunge felt more rewarding than the last. Everything is well-organized, from the changing area to the essential oils available for that extra aromatic touch. Whether you go for a social session or private booking, it's perfect for unwinding solo or with friends. If you're looking for something truly special that combines nature, wellness, and a bit of adventure, Von Sauna is a must-try. I left feeling refreshed, euphoric, and already planning my next visit!

10/10 - really lovely sauna, very clean, well kept, stayed hot and got extremely hot. The access to Lake Washington for cold plunge is perfect. The ladder isn’t as big an issue as some reviews note imo (it’s sturdy, each rail is rounded so doesn’t feel great on the feet and coming down feels like you’ll slip - just jump in ;). The entrance to each sauna is the "changing room" but it’s quite compact so most folks dried off on the dock on departure. There’s fresh water to refill your water bottles and validated parking from the Sauna Master who was incredibly nice, welcoming and helpful. Will absolutely be back - highly recommend for anyone curious as a fun experience to try!

I went for the social plunge at 7am on a Thursday (nov 20th, 2025) it was awesome, great crew we had, met some cool people and we got to cold plunge in the lake a few times / hype each other up. The owner of Von Sauna, David, is a super chill dude, very helpful and makes sure your overall experience is a1. I also went last year with a big group of guys and we rented the whole Suana out, if you have a big group of people I highly recommend this because you get to control the heat and enjoy the experience hower you'd like. If you are thinking of doing the social sauna I highly recommend it, I went alone but most people came with someone else, either way you'll have a good time!

Easy booking and waiver signing process online! Easy parking in the area (garage or outdoor lots with reimbursement by VonSauna). The two saunas are placed inside a yacht marina. Views are lovely towards the boats in front and Lake Washington views can be enjoyed towards the side. The saunas are clean and modern and got new ovens this season. There are little rooms to change and store/lock away items in front of each sauna which is very convenient. The plunge into Lake Washington is exhilarating! You can use a ladder to get into the lake or go for a jump! Staff is super friendly and accommodating! They will come in and place a snowball onto the oven every once in a while to enjoy steam slowly releasing with some incense oils. This place is a great Seattle winter time activity perfect to enjoy in any weather 🙂 I highly recommend booking a sunset time slot!

This is a fantastic sauna and cold plunge experience! You absolutely must book a session with Von Sauna! It’s easy to book a session. The facility is spotless. The staff is very friendly and helpful. You feel so good after being in the sauna and the lake. I can’t say enough good things about this experience!
