A New Sauna Option for Real Estate and Outdoor-Living Professionals

Clients often want to improve a home, rental property, or outdoor space without paying for every upgrade upfront.

That creates a challenge for real estate agents, property managers, builders, landscapers, pool companies, and outdoor-living professionals. A sauna may fit the client’s goals, but the purchase price can cause them to postpone the project or remove it from the plan entirely.

Simply Sauna now offers another option. Through our long-term sauna rental program, approved customers can rent an outdoor SaunaLife sauna for 12, 24, or 36 months with no down payment.

Professionals can introduce this option when a client wants a sauna but is not ready to purchase one outright.

An additional option for your clients

Long-term rental does not replace purchasing. It gives the client another way to move forward.

At launch, available long-term rental packages start at:

• $512 per month for a 12-month term

• $329 per month for a 24-month term

• $268 per month for a 36-month term

Longer initial terms offer lower monthly pricing.

The program includes compact saunas, traditional barrel saunas, glass-front models, modern cube-style saunas, and larger outdoor sauna suites. This makes it possible to match the sauna to the client’s space, intended use, design preferences, and monthly budget.

How real estate agents can use the program

A sauna rental may be relevant when working with:

• Homebuyers interested in wellness or outdoor living

• Buyers comparing homes with different amenity packages

• Clients who have recently purchased a home

• Luxury homeowners improving a backyard

• Investors purchasing short-term rental properties

• Buyers who want a sauna but prefer to preserve cash after closing

An agent does not need to sell the sauna or manage the rental. The value comes from knowing that the option exists and introducing it when it fits the client.

Agents can also share our guide explaining how homeowners can get a sauna without paying the full cost upfront.

How property managers and investors can use it

Property managers regularly recommend improvements to owners. For short-term rentals, a sauna can give a listing a recognizable amenity and another reason for guests to choose it.

Long-term rental allows the owner to evaluate the sauna as a monthly property expense rather than making a large purchase before knowing how the market will respond.

The owner can then compare the monthly rent against:

• Changes in nightly rates

• Additional booked nights

• Off-season performance

• Guest feedback

• Listing conversion

• The property’s overall competitive position

How builders and outdoor-living professionals can use it

A sauna can complement a larger backyard or outdoor-living project.

The rental program may be relevant to:

• Custom home builders

• Remodelers

• Landscape designers

• Pool installers

• Patio and deck contractors

• Outdoor kitchen companies

• Architects and residential designers

• Wellness-space designers

These professionals are often involved while the client is deciding how to use the available space and allocate the project budget.

If purchasing a sauna would push the project beyond the client’s immediate budget, long-term rental gives the client a way to add one without including the full sauna purchase in the project cost.

Early planning can also help account for placement, access, electrical requirements, privacy, drainage, and how the sauna fits with the surrounding space.

When should you mention long-term sauna rental?

The program may be worth introducing when a client:

• Expresses interest in a home sauna

• Wants to create a backyard wellness area

• Is installing a pool, patio, deck, or outdoor kitchen

• Is furnishing or upgrading a short-term rental

• Wants a distinctive amenity for a hospitality property

• Is concerned about the upfront cost of purchasing

• Wants to experience sauna ownership before making a permanent decision

• Prefers a predictable monthly expense

The goal is not to recommend a sauna to every client. It is to recognize the situations in which long-term rental may solve an existing problem.

What clients should understand

Long-term sauna rental is not financing or rent-to-own. Monthly payments cover the use of the sauna and do not create purchase credit.

At the end of the initial rental term, the customer can choose to:

• Renew the rental for another 12 months

• Purchase the sauna at the stated end-of-term price

• Return the sauna

Every application is reviewed before an agreement is sent or payment is collected. Delivery eligibility is confirmed using the customer’s address, and final terms are provided before payment setup.

Professionals should avoid promising approval, delivery, installation requirements, or a particular financial result on Simply Sauna’s behalf. Our team will review those details directly with the applicant.

Help your client explore the available options

If a client may be interested, direct them to the long-term sauna rental comparison page. They can review the available models, compare monthly pricing, and see the renewal rate and purchase option for each package.

Once they have selected a sauna and term, they can submit an application for review. There is no payment required when applying.
