Anyone had sauna for their Airbnb?

Hey guys! I am planning to add an outdoor sauna for this new property. I am thinking about a Costco wooden barrel sauna.

How was your experience with sauna? I know for sure people will love it but I am wondering if there is anything I should be aware of. 

I have properties with swimming pool and playground so I am well aware of the risk management side but a winter item like this is a new for me! (I guess people still can take a sauna during 90 degree weather but well haha)

Also should I cover the top with gazebo structure? Or is it going to trap too much moisture? I am not sure how these saunas are good with snow and rain. 


Thanks guys!

What @Bruce Woodruff said. I see them as a high maintenance item that will not be as popular as you think they might.

I would do a hot tub first if that could work.

EDIT - So I just chatted with my neighbor and he spends about a 2 hours a month keeping his sauna in shape. That isn't bad, but you need to keep up on it or it will get rough inside he says.
