The Origins of the Sauna Trailer Story
In a world marked by hectic schedules, digital distractions, and increasing stress levels, finding moments of relaxation and rejuvenation has become more important than ever. This is the story of Pavel, a young athlete who grew up in former Czechoslovakia amidst the bitter cold winters of Central Europe. After escaping communism, he found his way to Vermont, where he embarked on a remarkable journey that led him to build a race timing business, hand-craft his own house in Essex, and ultimately redefine relaxation through the creation of a portable sauna trailer. Alongside his son, Tom, and friend Matt, Pavel embarked on a journey to bring the health benefits of sauna to the local community, making it accessible and enjoyable for everyone.
Growing Up in Central Europe
Pavel's story begins in central Europe, where he experienced the beauty of four distinct seasons, including the freezing cold winters that characterized the region. These harsh weather conditions instilled in Pavel a deep appreciation for warmth and the importance of finding solace during those long, cold months.
Escaping Communism and Building a New Life in Vermont
Seeking a life free from political oppression, Pavel made the brave decision to escape from communism. His journey led him to Vermont, where he found solace in the natural landscapes and embraced the opportunities that lay ahead. It was here that Pavel's entrepreneurial and athletic spirit flourished, and he embarked on the journey of starting his own race timing business.
Hand-Crafted in Essex, VT
Not only did Pavel thrive in the world of athletics and timing, but he also had a passion for craftsmanship. He hand-built his own house in Essex, Vermont – a testament to his determination and love for creating something with his own hands. This dedication to craftsmanship and attention to detail would later manifest itself in a new venture that would redefine relaxation for the local community.
Sauna Building
It began with Pavel's decision to build a sauna in his own house, channeling his carpentry skills and his European heritage to make a space where he could unwind and rejuvenate. The process allowed him to combine his two passions and create a sanctuary that reflected his love for both woodworking and the sauna experience.

As word spread about Pavel's remarkable sauna, his friends and acquaintances became increasingly intrigued by the health benefits associated with regular sauna use. Recognizing the growing awareness and interest, Pavel offered his expertise to build a sauna at a friend's house as well. This act of sharing his craftsmanship and knowledge ignited a spark in his son, Tom, and Tom's friend Matt, who both saw the potential in bringing the benefits of saunas to a wider audience. Their shared enthusiasm for the sauna experience led them to embark on a journey together, exploring ways to make the benefits of saunas more accessible for the community.
Enter the Portable Sauna Trailer
Recognizing the numerous health benefits of saunas, including stress relief, improved circulation, and detoxification, Pavel, Tom, and Matt decided to bring the joy of sauna to the local community. They developed a portable sauna trailer that could be rented by anyone in the northeast U.S., enabling people to experience the therapeutic benefits of sauna right in their own backyard or other desired location.
Crafting the Sauna Trailer
True to their commitment to craftsmanship, Pavel and Tom hand-built the sauna trailer themselves, infusing it with their passion for quality and attention to detail. Using cedar and traditional woodworking techniques, they created a beautiful and functional space for relaxation and well-being.
