FAQ
Everything you need to know about the heat, the cold, and what to bring.
YOUR FIRST SESSION
Whatever you’re comfortable in. A swimsuit is standard. Come as you are. This is a no-judgment circle.
Two towels (one to sit on in the sauna, the other to dry off with after a plunge), water, a robe or cover up if you'd like and easy to slip on/off shoes or sandals. We handle the fire, the wood, and the setup.
Never. Depending on where we're at when you visit us, the plunge is there when you want it, and plenty of people build up to it over a few rounds. Listen to your body.
How long should I stay in the sauna?
As long as it feels good. Most people go in for a round, step out to cool off, rest, and repeat. Leave whenever you want to. Nobody is keeping score.
Is sauna safe for everyone?
Heat affects people differently. If you’re pregnant, have a health condition, or take medication, check with your doctor first. Drink water, listen to your body, and step out whenever you need to.
THE SAUNA ITSELF
The Wildflower runs a real wood-fired Finnish-built heater with more than 350lbs of sauna stones. Typically the sauna will be between 160°F to 180°F. You control the length of your rounds, and there’s always cool air and water nearby.
Six to eight per round is the sweet spot. For rentals, it's your call. For events we run multiple rounds so everyone gets good heat.
WHERE WE GO
Up to an hour from Rockford, Michigan, which covers Grand Rapids and much of West Michigan. Farther is possible. Just reach out before booking.
A flat, stable spot for the trailer (13 feet long, 8 feet wide, 10 feet tall), a clear path in, room to turn around or back up, and no low branches, wires, or combustible materials nearby.
Do you deliver in winter or bad weather?
Winter is one of our favorite times for sauna. That said, heavy snow, ice, or steep driveways can sometimes get in the way, so we’ll check in with you beforehand.
BOOKING & PRICING
How does booking a mobile sauna rental work?
Pick your dates on our availability calendar and pay in full to reserve. We review every request to make sure we can reach your location, then send a confirmation. A few days before delivery, we’ll call to go over the details.
How much does an overnight sauna rental experience cost?
$450 for the first night and $150 for each additional night. Delivery is free within 20 miles of Rockford, and $3 per mile after that.
What’s your cancellation policy?
A full refund if you cancel 14 or more days out, 50% between 13 and 4 days out, and no refund within 3 days.
Do my guests need to sign anything?
Yes. You’ll sign a rental agreement, and everyone using the sauna signs a waiver ahead of time, minors included. We send the links with your booking confirmation.
EVENTS & PUBLIC SESSIONS
Where can I find public sauna sessions in West Michigan?
We host beach sessions, pop-ups, and seasonal events. The best way to hear about them is our mailing list, since dates are announced there first.
Can you bring the sauna to my wedding, retreat, or private event?
Yes. We offer hosted events where we bring the sauna and a host who tends the fire and guides your guests through their rounds, so you can be part of the gathering.
Still have a question?
Ask us anything. We’re happy to talk you through your first session.
