Allen Pools & Spas

Allen Pools & Spas in Mendon serves the Rutland area and the central Vermont mountain towns, selling and installing saunas rather than operating one to visit.

Mendon sits on Route 4 between Rutland and Killington, in the pass through the Green Mountains where the road climbs to Sherburne. It is a small town with a large amount of traffic passing through, most of it heading for the mountain.

That geography makes it a sensible place for this business. Central Vermont has a high concentration of second homes, ski chalets and mountain properties — exactly the housing stock where a private sauna makes sense, and where the climate justifies it. A hot room in a Vermont winter is not an affectation.

The decisions that matter in a home build are mostly unglamorous: heater output matched to room volume, enough stone mass to keep producing steam through repeated water applications, ventilation that keeps the air breathable, and bench geometry that lets you use the room’s heat gradient. None is visible once construction is finished, and none is easy to correct afterwards.

Mendon sits ten minutes east of Rutland. Contact directly to discuss a project.
