Did you see a web? Was it located at a home or outbuilding? It looks like a funnel weaver.

It's inside the home in the bathroom.

No I didn't see a web, it goes behind the vanity cabinet.

I thought Flapdoodle or another expert would have responded by now. Maybe DM with the photo.

I am not seeing a lot of detail, but it seems to resemble the grass spiders we have. At times they get in the house, but I just take them outside because it is still temperate enough for them.

It's a grass spider (family Agelenidae); maybe in the genus Agelenopsis. (Just for the record, I was on vacation 2-7 September)...

I was wondering if that was the case, Flapdoodle, or if you just needed a break. I hope you enjoyed your time away. I know very little about insects and really floundered trying to help here. Sometimes I just could not try. Thank you for sharing your time and expertise here.
