14 Best Cabins with the Coziest Baths

‍

           Hot tub, jacuzzi, sauna, spa, Onsen, bath—no matter the name, we adore them across all countries and cultures. The earliest hot tubs were originally calderas in which people would put hot stones in order to heat up the water. Later, the Greeks ran with the idea and created the spa town of Therma where travelers could soak in the saline mineral springs after a long day’s journey (however, these pools contain large traces of radon making them the most radioactive springs in the world). The Romans took this even a step further and engrained baths so deeply into their culture that they would build their own baths around mineral and thermal springs whenever they conquered new lands.

‍

          It wasn’t until the 1940s that hot tubs first began to pop up in the United States, and then the Jacuzzi brand revolutionized the concept by adding hydrotherapy and massage jets. They have become the ultimate image of relaxation and serenity, and no vacation is complete without one. With that in mind, we have collected the Northwest’s best rental cabins with private baths for your ultimate soaking pleasure.
