I have no idea about the format but the national media rarely portrays Appalachia in a positive way.

Amen!

Ha ha ha. That is not Mr. Bubble, it is Scrubbing Bubbles. To heck with a bath like that.. Possibly that is an electric fireplace since the outlet is so close?. I don't see a hidden compartment, do you?
No, I don't see a compartment. The fireplace is four bricks deep.
I thought Scrubbing Bubbles came in a metal aerosol can with a spray top. That looks like plastic with a screw-on cap.
eta: The container doesn't match pics of Mr Bubble I've found, except the color.
Scrubbing Bubbles do come in a pump spray, didn't know that until now.
eta2: I'm thinking a radiant electric heater of some sort to go with the fake logs.
I cheated, I put the pic in Windows pic viewer and blew it up.
There's a big exercise ball in the spa tub.
Seems like a weird place to store some of that stuff.
My guess, after they spent $10-15k on the room, they decided to fake the fake fireplace. Homeboys nailed up a frame and they plopped some artificial logs on it.
I believe it may be a recess in the wall for a heater of some kind. The floor could be some kind of heat resistant gray stone or red brick with white powder on it...
Yep, beyond reasonable doubt, IMO.

Must be a Walker handset, only brand I see in blue.

Every house with a landline has a User Interface box where the line comes in. A phone lineman can walk up and put the alligator clips on the terminals in the box. He can call Hong Kong if he wants to. They can also use it up on the pole.
The interface box also has a modular phone jack you can plug your telephone into, to determine if your line actually works.
That could be a vintage handset in the pic, they carry more advanced handsets now.
I don't think it's a mirror, it's four bricks deep and a few more high. A mirror should be reflecting the chair/stool, tub and sink, not bricks, logs, and a grate.
It looks to me like a Spa Tub with an electric fireplace and a wood chair outside of it. The person sitting next to me thinks that it's a mirror.

Maybe that is a natural gas fireplace, BPV 's may have been in an attic and dust fell down when plopped open.
Guesses only.
What is that white thing at the top MIDDLE of the photo? Some gas fireplaces have vents to heat the surrounding area.

Would it be a way to make phone calls that couldn't be traced?

I thought of something like this. These are plastic rings.
Make calls, eavesdrop, monitor. Also, a light can be rigged to indicate when the line is in use.
It very well could be. A lot of older homes had little to no insulation so a heater in the bathroom would make sense.
I'll try to find the article I read about wiretapping, it was interesting to read. Damn I hope my computer never gets seized.. I would be a goner for sure.
First electric fireplace I saw, in a bathroom, was in a new modular home on the sales lot. Since then I've noticed them more often, in upscale homes.
