This is definitely one of the best hot spring. The reservation and limiting how many people go is definitely a much better experience where it isnt fully crowded and wouldn't have to worry about waiting for parking before when it's pack. Do a reservation and there won't be any issue you will usually have a parking spot and it will be spacious when you are in the hot spring and have a relaxing time. Very easy to reserve as well. Earlier the better you do it to make sure you get your time you want. Overall the hot spring during the night is a great experience.

I used to love this place. Its still beautiful, lodging is good, springs are amazing. But they've dragged the pool reservation and mask madness out far enough. There is now no scientific reason to go into complete panic that a group of people might sit outside in a group of 7 as opposed to 6. There is no scientific reason to lose our minds at the thought of folks going maskless outside at a remote mountain campground. For a more pro-science business, check out Old Town Hot Springs in Steamboat. No reservation required, no one losing their minds that you aren't on a list. Much nicer staff, too.

A unique experience staying at this place: I lucked out and stayed in Cabin #4 for the weekend. We had after hours access to the thermal hot springs where the sky was dark enough to see constellations galore and shooting stars pass by. The cabin bed was surprisingly comfy and our window looked over the river. The heaters had a hard time warming up the little room so we limited how often we opened the door. The grill outside was great to cook breakfast and the wooden seats were also solid. We kept our food inside with us and I believe we were visited (more so raided) by little mice who nibbled on some food but I never saw them with my own eyes. A unique aspect about this cabin is that you bring your own bed linens and towels, which is super sustainable; this place also runs on solar energy which I am happy to hear! The showers were a bit of a let down. The water from the sink ran HOT but the showers gave off a wimpy lukewarm stream. The shower floors could've been cleaner but I've seen way worse. The rest of the bathroom was in relatively good shape and the design of the bathroom was attractive. I would come back a little reluctantly in the Winter since the shower water wasn't cutting it for me, but I would come back in the Summer since the temp doesn't matter that much at that time or Fall when the Aspens change leaves. The mice obviously should be something to address ( whether by providing a food box OR suggesting to guests to keep their food in their cars) but it's also a legit old log cabin so it's natural to encounter critters. It's definitely like an established campground except that you have heat and a comfy bed to keep you sleeping happily through the night. Thank you for having us! I would recommend this place with the cautions that I mentioned above.

Great experience. I would highly recommend following the guidelines re coolers, etc. We did the late night visit and used the Hot Springs shuttle from our hotel but hope to return for day visit so we can capture some good photos. Bring flip flops or easy slip on shoes with traction - the less clothes to take on and off the better (for time saving sake!) Two hours is plenty of time to enjoy the springs - totally worth it!

Roads are very snowy and icy

Is this place a must see? Traveling alone, trying not to waste time and see everything.

I personally thought it was gorgeous and very relaxing. The pools are pretty warm. If you happen to be there on a hot day, I probably wouldn't go because its 103 degree water or so. There is a cold section at the bottom though. So really up to you. But if it was hot outside, I wouldn't take the trip.

I’m renting an awd midsize suv. Will this be ok for traveling to the springs in January? Being from Florida I know nothing abt snow and icy roads.

Wesley Tallent | Jun 1, 2018
Mike Brady | Jun 2, 2018

If you are solid driving in mud, snow and ice and have a vehicle with good snow or off road tires, you'll be fine. I would not expect your typical AWD rental to have adequate tires.

Is this open to get in the springs in January? Or when there is snow out?

Briaunde Warner | Jun 1, 2018
Mike Brady | Jun 2, 2018

Yep, roads will likely be icy, so drive safe or take a shuttle. Outside of the springs, the only heated space is the bathroom, which is quite a trudge up the hill. So, be prepared for the weather conditions and changes in weather. That said, what a sweet winter escape!

Can you swim here?

Payton Pierce | Jun 1, 2018
Chris | Jun 2, 2018

Yes, but really only in the ice cold water of the river. The pools are to small to really swim.
