To dispel all the rumors, this place is still open. Covid didn't make them go bankrupt and the nearby Pickle Barrel is also going strong. This hidden gem is on the north side of Silverton, inside Smedley's ice cream parlor. The official address is 1314 Greene Street. Sharon and Paul Zimmerman own this establishment as well as the Pickle Barrel. My wife and I visited here on the morning of Sunday, August 7, 2022. Paul Zimmerman rang us up and he treated us extremely nicely. You pay once for unlimited hours of soaking, but if you leave you can't re-enter without paying again. Their soaking hours are 8 AM until 8 PM. They have three indoor mineral pools, each three feet deep. The combined capacity is approximately 30 people. The two largest pools are 99 and 101 degrees Fahrenheit, and the smaller pool is 103. This location is super convenient as you don't have to drive into Ouray (another hour) and pay $21 for their outdoor pools or Pagosa Springs and pay outrageous prices. Initially, there were four other people in the pools, but after about an hour, my wife and I were alone. We relaxed in the pools for about three hours. We enjoyed the ceiling, which looks like hundreds of stars in the night sky. The water is lit green for ultimate relaxation. The owner provided clean glasses and pitchers of ice water while we were soaking. You have to shower before and after soaking in gender separate bathrooms. I wish the lockers in these bathrooms had keys provided so I could have locked up my valuables. My only other gripe would be for the owners to get curtains or shades for the back door window. It ruined the romantic and dark atmosphere with sunlight blasting through this door window. My tip would be to bring your own towels (they charge for rentals) and arrive between 8 AM and 10 AM for happy hour. They offer free coffee during happy hour and the price is only $14 for adults versus the regular admission of $20. We paid a total of $28 for 3 hours of soaking. A great value and we'll be back next time we visit Silverton. read more

AWESOME! No hot springs in Silverton but this is the next best thing! I wish is was open a little later into the night (at least 9 or 10 for the guests for the Hotel). The star lights were very cool! read more

After camping for 5 days this place is amazing. Shower soak shower. And then walking out into the cool air. I will be back for sure

What a find! After two days of skiing hard at Silverton, we found this gem of a place nestled behind a coffee cafe on Green Street. Our muscles were quickly soothed by the 104 degree soaking tub and hopped to the 99 degree soaking tub when the heat became too much. The sparkling stars on the ceiling, clean tubs and changing rooms, and option to bring in your drink of choice made for a one-of-a-kind happy hour! read more
