The Secluded Oasis You Had No Idea Was Hiding Right Here In Washington

In our modern world of smartphones and social media, it's difficult to imagine that there are any unheard of spots left in the state of Washington. But there are a few places that remain blissfully off the grid, and you may have unknowingly passed by one of them on your way to Mt. Rainier. You won't find Netflix or WiFi there, but you will have one of the most peaceful and relaxing experiences of your life if you visit.

Wellspring Spa is located in Ashford at the base of Mt. Rainier.

It isn't far off the National Park Highway, but it's definitely very remote.

Accommodations here are rustic but clean, ranging from classic one-room cabins to larger cottages with kitchens.

This is the Three Bears cottage, which has a full kitchen and a jetted tub.

Of course, the highlight of this place is the beautiful spa.

The spa has two outdoor hot tubs, which you can rent for your private party by the hour. They also offer wood-fired cedar saunas.

Wellspring also offers relaxing massages, which you'll want to schedule well before your visit.

After a soak in a hot tub and a blissful massage, you'll have no trouble falling asleep to the sounds of nature.

You can even rent the entire property and get married here, which many people do every year.

The owners like to leave summer weekends open for weddings, which is something to note when you're making plans to visit.

Aside from your check-in and your massage, you might go an entire weekend without seeing another person here... and that's not an accident.

Wellspring is meant to be a place to disconnect from the outside world. While there are people nearby to ensure you have what you need, this is not a hands-on kind of place.

Wellspring is the perfect place to go for a "digital detox." Here are some other secluded spots in Washington that offer peace and quiet.
