The Lake Minnetonka sauna experience
More Than a Sauna Session
Designed for connection and restoration, the Cedar Room brings people together through heat, nature, and meaningful time on and off the water.
Built for the Lake,
Not Styled Around It
The Cedar Room was created to offer something increasingly rare: a place to breathe, be present, and connect.
Inspired by nature and the timeless ritual of sauna, we create space for connection that lingers long after the session ends.
Because some of life’s best moments happen when we slow down.
Why it exists
Wellness is Better When it’s Shared
What does wellness mean to you?
We believe it’s centered around connection – connection with yourself, with others, and with the present moment. That’s what we had in mind when we designed The Cedar Room.
It’s not just another sauna – it’s an experience curated for presence and intention – and when we have the space to invite that into our lives, even for a moment, it opens the door for authentic connection.
Crafted for wellness. Designed for connection.
The Cedar Room began with a simple idea from founder Chris Osorio: create a place where people can experience Minnesota lake culture in a new way – a place to slow down, warm up, and connect with those around them.
With a background in upholstery and a deep appreciation for craftsmanship, Chris has long been drawn to creating spaces that are both functional and meaningful. When he founded NorthCraft Sauna Company, he created The Cedar Room with those values in mind. Through thoughtful design and intentional detail, Chris constructed more than a sauna – he built an experience around connection.
He believes the heart of the work extends far beyond the build itself. It’s about the moments that happen once you step inside. When strangers become friends, conversations stretch longer than expected, and you leave feeling grounded, lighter, and more connected than when you first arrived. Whether you come with close friends or on your own, the experience is meant to feel easy, memorable, and shared.

Giving Back
Community Doesn’t End at the Dock.
The places that restore us deserve to be cared for in return.
Each year, 3% of the net revenue from The Cedar Room and Northcraft Sauna Company is dedicated to supporting local organizations working to protect our waters, preserve wild places, and strengthen the communities that make life on the lake possible.
The organization changes annually and is selected by our patrons because we believe the people who gather here should have a voice in where support flows next.
For us, sauna is about connection. Giving back is simply an extension of that belief – a way to support the lakes we float on, the communities that welcome us, and the people who help make experiences like this possible.
