We have a sauna in our Airbnb (basement unit in our house) and I notice it gets great response from both sauna seekers, and those who didn't use it but liked knowing it was there. 20-30% of reviews actively call it out. Seems to have both direct and halo effects. Even if you didn't come for that or go in, it casts a getaway light over the whole of your take on the place.
Makes me wonder why no filter? I see that there was a thread on that a few years ago here, and sounded like no receptive ears at the mothership. Seems very similar to something like a hot tub filter. And judging by the response we get anyway, there are plenty out there who want it. Not to mention how sauna appears to keep growing in popularity, get discussed more in media, etc. We LOVE ours, on the rare instance where we get to use it when the Airbnb isn't rented.
Any thoughts on sauna as guest-attracter? Either from hosts who have one, or those who don't but may have thought about it? And/or any ideas about to take up the sauna filter cause with the HQ crowd anew?
P.s. we have an outdoor ice bath too (100 gallon stock tank, think horse trough) but that's not available to guests and while I love it, I suspect would not be near so popular with guests:-).
