Essence of Tranquility - Hot Springs in the U.S.

It is two hours' drive from Tucson, Arizona to get to a spa facility with the philosophical name, "Essence of Tranquility."

You find it entirely homemade-looking.

Common Outdoor Bath

The entrance of the camping ground is so modest that you may pass over it if not for prior information.

Walk-ins are welcome at $8.

You will give the bell ring to call over the owner.

Before she appears, a cute reception dog may welcome you.

An open-air bath of clothing required is located against the wall.

You will see plenty amount of water being poured into the tub.

The water temperature is moderate and it is slightly salty; you will realize the high quality of water.

Interesting Private Baths

There are five private bathrooms.

You can freely choose your favorite rooms, although they all look like humble shacks.

Here is a private bath probably inspired by an ancient Roman bath.

It is totally homemade-looking, even though there are a lot of effort not to create a closed space using the signature wallpaper.

Alpaca

Really flimsy curtains...

That is the point.

Capybara

Soaking in the water, I was thinking of the proverb, Rome was not built in a day.

This is one of the cave bathrooms with relatively tepid water.

The spring water is poured into the tub from a high position, and you will hear sound of water in the dark shack.

When I looked up, there was sunshine thrown from zinc roof cracks.

I found the essence of tranquility existed in such natural atmosphere, rather than in sophisticated air.
