Inspiration for the Umstead Hotel and Spa was drawn from its natural setting and specifically its neighbor and namesake, Umstead State Park. The Park is an oasis of green, which features a stand of 300+ year-old hardwood trees and more than 32 miles of hiking, biking and horseback riding trails. A perfect respite for nature lovers and the inspiration for this bespoke “Forest Bathing Basket”. A thoughtful gift for the nature lover in your life.
