This boutique hotel in Northern California has an outdoor spa with a vibe that will transport you to The Shire.
The Front Porch Inn in Arcata, California, has outdoor soaking tubs and a cedar sauna surrounded by fern walls and moss that they call their Hidden Bath and Oasis. It looks incredibly relaxing, and the overall vibe really does look like something out of Lord of the Rings.
To enjoy the spa, you'll need to be a guest at the Inn. Each room is decorated a little differently and has something unique to offer. My favorite room is The Basecamp for its gorgeous mural, bathroom sink made of rocks, adirondack chairs by the fire place, picnic dining table, Coleman cooking stove as the actual stove, and glamping tent covering the bed. This room really gives a whole new meaning to "glamping!"
