Doe Bay Resort and Retreat soaking tubs

Across the water from Anacortes on the Orcas ferry, Doe Bay's soaking tubs sit on a creek-side deck above Otters Cove, with a sauna, outdoor showers and a garden lawn. They're resort hot tubs, and the resort doesn't claim a natural hot spring, so come for the island setting. Communal sessions ($30 an adult for 3.5 hours) are for lodging guests only. Everyone else can rent the private spa at $150 per 90 minutes for up to 15 people, offered last-minute midweek when there's room. It's clothing optional in every session, and pets stay home.
