Before you order
This page gathers what LeisureCraft publishes about the Georgian, checked Oct 11, 2026, and adds up what it costs to install. Our verdict on it runs in LeisureCraft sauna review: which Ontario-built model fits your yard?.
Who should buy the Georgian?
The Georgian suits a family of up to six, at a cottage or in the backyard, that wants a cabin built from Ontario wood. LeisureCraft seats six in a room 2.1 m (7 ft) square inside and builds it in Melancthon from eastern white cedar, under steel shingles made in Listowel.
Backyard Canada sells the kit without a heater, and by our math an electric one pushes the bill past $13,000. SaunaSpa rates its 6 ft Cube for up to six and delivers it built for less. Nootka's 10 ft barrel seats eight with electric heat for $10,300, heater included.
What does it take to install?
Plan a level base a little over 2.5 m (8.2 ft) square, since LeisureCraft lists the outside at 247 by 250 cm, and add 62 cm (24.5 in) of depth for the porch version. Backyard Canada ships the kit flat to your driveway for one fee anywhere in Canada, and LeisureCraft supplies assembly videos and drawings. The cabin takes a wood stove or an electric heater. LeisureCraft recommends 9 kW, which means a hardwired 240V circuit run by a licensed electrician.
What does the Georgian cost all in?
| Cost | Amount | Where the figure comes from |
|---|---|---|
| List price | $10,300 | The regular price at Backyard Canada, recorded Oct 10, 2026. |
| Homecraft Revive 9 kW | $1,985 | At Backyard Canada |
| Homecraft digital control (TKE2-2) | $625 | The control Backyard Canada lists with the Revive |
| Revive stones, 91 kg (200 lb) | $360 | Five boxes at Backyard Canada |
| Shipping | Flat rate | To your driveway anywhere in Canada |
| 240V circuit and permit | Electrician's quote | For an electric heater |
By our math, the Georgian with a Homecraft Revive 9 kW, its control and stones comes to $13,270 at Backyard Canada, before shipping, the electrician and tax. Backyard Canada suggests an 8 kW Homecraft on its listing and treats orders as final sale, so settle the heater before you pay the 30% deposit.

What to know before you buy
Eastern White Cedar, electric or wood-fired. These decide whether it suits your space and your electrical panel.
- Eastern White CedarEastern white cedar grows from Nova Scotia to Manitoba, so Ontario and Quebec builders can mill it close to home. The US Forest Products Laboratory's Wood Handbook puts it within a few percent of western red cedar on weight and heat flow and rates its heartwood as decay resistant. The wood is a pale, even light brown.
- Wood-FiredA log stove heats the room, so the sauna runs fully off-grid and the crackling fire becomes part of the ritual. Fans of wood heat call its löyly the softest. Plan for a chimney and about 45–60 min of heat-up.
- ElectricAn electric heater holds a steady temperature on its thermostat and needs no chimney. Many models add app or timer control.
