If you love to travel, then you need to check out one of these barrel spas in Canada that will make you feel like you're vacationing in Europe this season.

You can find a couple at The Josie Hotel in Rossland, B.C. about an eight-hour drive from Vancouver.

The cylindrical cedar barrel saunas are perched right by the ski slopes so you're surrounded by snow while you melt.

You get a panoramic view from inside and breathing in the scent of the cedar wood makes you feel instantly relaxed.

Plus, it's big enough for you and your friends inside but still cozy enough for just one.

Guests of the hotel are free to use them, no reservations required, and they feel extra indulgent after a trip to the spa for a massage.

The ski-themed resort is like a skier's version of Disneyland and it's a must-see if you're planning on getting some powder this winter.

If a unique spa day has been on your winter bucket list for a while, then this B.C. staycation is perfect.
