High quality materials and a trusted builder who stands by their product. I did have some installation issues but Zen was very responsive and fully supported me through the process - rare in the current environment and so important. I have worked with them multiple times and highly recommend.


We purchased a 6’ round cedar hot tub from Zen Bathworks about a year ago. The tub is awesome, and Zen Bathworks was very helpful when we had questions about installation and maintenance. I ping them from time to time with questions, and they are very responsive.

Our 6' Elliptical Hot Tub was provided as advertised. No problems, everything went well, We love it! The Zen folks have been great to work with. Our tub came pre-assembled. We highly recommend that, and be sure to use a qualified installer. We live in Florida, about as far away from Alaska as you can get. Everyone who sees it, falls in love with it!

I promised that when I finished the work on the installation of our tub (which we call our onsen) I would send a few pictures. Here they are. The work was done when I could find time on weekends, so it took a long time! Except for a bit of pressure-treated fir, all of the wood is clear western red cedar. All of the fasteners are stainless steel screws. The steps are portable, and the front and top panels on the enclosure are all removable for ease of access to the plumbing, pump, and heater. (The steps are mostly for our eight-year-old, who is too little too get into the tub on his own without them.) The installation is alongside our Japanese garden, and to give it some decorative touches I added some Japanese-style lanterns and a cypress (hinoki) wood oke basin. I'm also planning eventually to build a shoji lattice between the two wooden posts, as shown in the fourth image, which is basically the view of the shoji from the onsen. We continue to enjoy our onsen almost every evening, and we look forward to continuing to do so for many years. Thank you for an excellent product, and for excellent support.

“AMAZING WORK! My custom Hinoki tub was delivered to NYC far faster than expected. The quality is superb!”

“My tub is the most beautiful piece of furniture I have ever owned. The smell alone sends me to another place. I can’t wait to grow old with it.”

We have spent time in Japan and really wanted an authentic Ofuro for our Napa Valley home. The Zen Bathworks Ofuro tub we purchased is just incredible and meets every expectation — when we show people around our new house its one of the first things we bring people to see.

about us
inspiration
We are a small team of experienced woodworkers and soaking enthusiasts dedicated to the Art of Relaxation! Each one-of-a-kind wood tub is expertly handcrafted in beautiful Haines, Alaska — nested between deep blue ocean fjords and tall majestic coastal mountains. This pristine environment inspires our work.
integrity
Driven by a deep reverence for wood, we use it wisely, marvel at its beauty, and are students of its many characteristics. Our wood is sustainably harvested whenever possible and used in small quantities. The grade of material used is the finest grade available, clear, vertical-grained, quartersawn heartwood, properly dried, and free of defects.
innovation
We believe in our craft. We believe in innovation and ongoing improvements to deliver the ultimate soaking packages for our customers. We collaborate on custom designs and accessories. We take customer feedback to heart and will continue to add new products to maximize efficiency, design, and soaking experience.
