Drakesbad Guest Ranch
A historic guest ranch in Warner Valley in the southeast corner of Lassen Volcanic National Park, reached by a partly gravel road from Chester. Guests stay in lodge rooms, cabins or bungalows with all meals included, and guided rides go to Boiling Springs Lake and Devils Kitchen. The ranch's pool has not reopened since the 2021 Dixie Fire, and the operator says it is still in the planning stages.

A nonprofit hot springs retreat on more than 600 acres outside Sierraville, about 30 minutes north of Truckee. Its four soaking areas run from the 95-96F Phoenix Baths to the 110-112F Temple Dome Hot Pool, which sits under a geodesic dome with two cold plunges, and all soaking areas are clothing optional. Every visit needs an advance reservation and at least one member in the party, and stays are in the Main Lodge, the Globe Hotel or the campground.

A small nonprofit bathhouse on South Virginia Street in south Reno, on a geothermal site used for bathing since the 1850s.
