Come during the week, otherwise I fear it gets very crowded! The grounds offer a few opportunities for hiking around the road less traveled trails. You won't find graveled pathways here, but you'll find naturally forming streams and unique kinds of lizards surrounded by sounds of wood peckers and even gun shots from the nearby range. The baths are divine. The bubbles form naturally on your skin. I recommend immersing yourself completely to get a sensory deprivation experience. It's also supposed to be good for your skin. read more

Constant gun shots in the background due to nearby shooting range- not relaxing in the slightest. Also someone was cementing around the hot tub while I was soaking. They kept staring at me which made me uncomfortable. We went to get a refund from the front desk after my friend finished her massage but it was locked and no one was there. When I called they refused to offer a refund for the $120 day pass (we were only there for a couple hours) and offered to give me another day pass- even though I said I would never come back! Very disappointing and not worth the drive. read more

Our family loves to return to Vichy Springs a couple of times a year. We love the cottages because they we are able to cook meals. Staff were so kind, respectful and very helpful. Cozy vibes, clean facility/grounds, and relaxing. This stay, purchased a robe, flashlight, crystal, and local ceramic cup & saucer from the check-in office. Booked a massage, Megan was amazing and I highly recommend! read more

Came here for a solo trip over the long weekend. Staff here are all very nice. I had some probably not so common questions. The short dark haired lady did get back to me for one (eg why we can't use beauty bath after dark). It was nice. Please note that this is NOT a hot spring.... The springs are very therapeutics but you get cold. The hot pool was nice. I enjoyed both the champagne pool and the beauty bath. I particular love their swimming pool. This is a good place to visit in the summer time. I probably won't last long in winter. I already have a running nose. I would recommend bringing your own bath robes.... Especially at night. I tried their morning breakfast in the morning. It is light. I am not a huge fan of pastry so can't comment much. But their fruit is really fresh and sweet. They need more signs on their hiking trails tho. I don't have much signal on site and got lost in the morning. I eventually found my way back but I lost a lot of time that could have spent in the bath. I stayed in the room with a Mountain View. The creek view room is very close to the game room. Some guests could be loud in the game room. Other review about the gun club nearby is true. I would visit again in the summer time. It is a nice resort. Also, can I just say that Ukiah is so underrated? It is much better than Mendocino.... Better food and more friendly folks around. read more

Invited to relax at the resorts by my sister who had been there before. Plus are the healing effects from the Vichy Sorings water baths from the 1860's used by Mark Twain, Jack London and President Teddy Roosevelt. Some of the tubs, stained by rust, were difficult to get into because they were deeper than others. One must have an open and adventurous mind to experience these healing waters that pour into rusty tubs. My favorite were the outdoor baths where I could lie in the bubbly lukewarm water and look up at the clear blue sky, green trees and see a hawk or bird fly by. The Olympic-sized non-chlorinated spring water pool was surrounded by beautiful trees, flowers and an impressive fountain. Showers were available in the restrooms. One could occasionally hear gunfire from a distant shooting range while relaxing by the pool. Breakfast 8-10am of eggs, granola, fruit, berries, delicious fruit tortes from Schat's Bakery, orange juice, coffee, tea, milk, no sausages nor bacon. We stayed in one of the old cabins. My sister said the newer cabin where she stayed was better. We had a small fridge opposed to a full size refrigerator in the newer cabin. The lighting was darker in our old cabin than the newer cabin she stayed in. An extension cord was needed to go around a door frame to reach and provide better lighting at the poorly lit dining table which had no lights. Sis said she'll ask for a newer cabin next time. We didn't make it to the falls which would've been a 30-min walk from the Monet bridge, but we saw two deer. We had a cabin with a kitchen and brought enough dinner to last us our stay. It was a 3-hour drive from SF to escape from the stress of city life. read more

While on a road trip from Southern California up north, I happened upon this resort and was I glad I did. Reading about their mineral waters, I knew I had to stop and give this place a try. I showed up around 3 PM and on their website they list that you can stay for either two or three hours, but with them closing at 5 PM. The lady that was working the front had told me I showed up right as the last person left, so I had the resort to myself. She also said that since it was not busy, they would be willing to let me stay for the full three hours if I wanted to. I really appreciated her offer and felt very welcomed at the resort. She then proceeded me to walk through the layout of the resort how to use the baths and some great tips to ensure I got the most out of my experience. After giving my deposit, I walked back to my car, grabbed a change of clothes and proceeded to walk a short 2 to 3 minute walk to the bath area - I also want to note that I did not have a towel on me, but they do offer towels as rentals Which I was really glad about. The bath area was very cute. Lots of outdoor options and also indoor options. I wanted the outdoor experience so I opted to go into the outdoor bath. I have never experienced a mineral soak like this before and was absolutely amazed. It was a very chilly day and she had told me that once I sit in the bath, it would feel a little on the colder to lukewarm side, but then once the water started to work, it's magic, it would speed up my circulation and start to make me feel warmer, which is exactly what happened. As I sat the minerals started to do their magic and sure enough I could feel my body heating up. It was such a wild experience. I wound up, laying in there for roughly about an hour before moving on to their baths that are made for skin care, very different experience, but very similar bath that you lay in those are located indoors and I laid in mine for about 30 minutes overall I left the mineral baths, filling, refreshed energize, and it had subsided some pain that I had in my lower back and after leaving, my whole body felt very, very smooth. I ended up altogether spending two hours at the resort, but I could easily see myself staying for the full three hours in the future. I'll say this too after my soaks, it was the best night of sleep I've had in a very long time. I am beyond amazed at how amazing I felt after soaking in these baths. I have been telling all of my family and friends about it since and I can't wait to head back up there. I'm already starting to make plans to make this a monthly trip. It's about six hours away from me, but beyond worth it. If you're wondering if you should go check this place out or not, make sure you do - you will not be disappointed. read more

This place is a work of love and dedication to times gone - a quiet getaway for any time of year, a travel to ancient waters used for centuries for whatever health benefits you believe in but certainly a way to relax the mind and to detox from cities and news. This was my 4 th visit, each time with a different stressed out family member. Each time it took them (and me) a day to let go - but we always did. Whether you go there to submerge yourself in metal/sulfur-smelling bubbly waters, Boron ones, or the hot tub ... or to take a long long walk up winding trails into the hills, this place is sure to unplug your mind. The baths are old and stained by Nature. If you want artificial McTreatment, this is not for you. However, if you want "back to simple" and true, then this is for you. EX: Poison oak encounter? No worries, wash it all off in the alkaline waters! It's true! I am SEVERELY ALLERGIC to poison oak, yet when the rash started, it was stopped in its tracks and gone after a bit of soak time in a bubbly bath! Oh - and they are open for use until 2AM. Breakfast is included. Staff is friendly. The owner is full of history and stories. read more

Ever since I'd heard there were carbonated waters, geothermally heated that were hours from The Bay Area, I longed to sit and recenter myself in this magical place. Committing to the 3 hour drive was perhaps the hardest thing to do, but as soon as I parked, I knew I made the right decision. I was instantly transported into another dimension when I opened my car door. I was filled with a flood of peace, relief, and optimism I'd been missing. Now, this place will make you slow down and be present. But in a very intentional way. Ukiah has a different heart beat than the hustle and bustle of Silicon Valley, and if you don't enjoy waving at cars that pass you on the road, or stopping to talk to dogs that are interested in smelling you, then YOU may not be a good fit for the energy of this property. And I was blown away with how reasonable it was. The best $35 dollars I've spent in AGES. And I do feel healed, recentered, and decisive after soaking in the carbonated bath, the indoor beauty bath (that left my skin so soft, I couldn't stop touching myself), and the communal hot tub (that I was chased into by a wasp). Disclaimer: these pools are outdoors. If bugs give you the ick, you may struggle to enjoy this peacefully. I did spend time fighting with some sort of water spider who was determined to bathe with me. But not today, Satan, I eventually won that battle and settled back into enjoying my time. I didn't drink the water, but I really wanted to. The drinking water was locked for the general public on the day I visited. And I was lucky to arrive just before 1 pm. It was the sweet spot: pretty empty, so I got to enjoy the place to myself. As it neared 3 pm, a smattering of folks filtered in and polluted the air with talk about work, irritating refunds, and other things I was trying to escape myself. I took that as a sign to leave, and make plans to stay over night on another occasion. Thank you, Gaila, in the front office, for your hospitality upon my arrival, your easy transference of information about using these ancient baths, and for creating a supportive space for my indecision. I needed flexible options until I could be decisive. And I found everything my heart was craving at this visit. Until next time. read more

Vichy Springs Resort - Resorts Near Me - Ukiah, California

Get ready for rustic! I stayed in the Applewood Suite and can't recommend it. It's between the office and housekeeping, so a bit busy and noisy and the farthest from the tubs. The housekeepers were blasting music and watching videos and talking really loudly early in the morning Sunday, which is not ok. The light from the adjacent suite shines right on your head in one of the beds, so that was also annoying. There are no TVs (good) and no mini fridge (bad) or napkins, utensils... no in-room conveniences for a picnic or coffee or water, so be sure to bring all of your own supplies. They do offer a nice buffet breakfast included with the room. There was mouse scat all over the windowsill, and when I called the front desk to tell them, she said she would "make a note of it." She did not offer to have it cleaned or move me to another room or any other kind of compensation, so that was a big fail. The waters are restorative and wonderful, so I highly recommend at least going for a day trip and soaking in the thousands-of-years-old mineral baths. The mineral baths are around 90 degrees so almost just warm enough. The "beauty baths" were not functional when I was there. Do note that it is also close enough to a gun range to be able to hear it, which is not at all relaxing. It can also get a bit crowded during day-use hours. But if chatting up other people and loudly socializing in the hot tub is your thing, you will love it! read more

This review is for day use: - Park, check in at the office (they do an initial hold for $100, then when you check out later, they determine how long you stayed and whether to charge for 2 hours, 3 hours, or all day as applicable). Bring your own towel (and swimsuit), and would also recommend bringing flip flops and a plastic bag to carry your stuff around in to the different areas for convenience and so they don't get wet. - We went during a rainy winter day and it was perfect. Only 3 other people in addition to the two of us, so it was quiet but allowed for pleasant conversation. The feeling of cold rain falling while you're snuggled in a hot tub is - Would recommend this order in cold weather when it's not busy: Champagne baths on the left first, then while you wait for the other bath on the right side to fill, hop in the hot tub! Finally, my preferred order was champagne bath, right side, hot tub, repeat. The baths are basically body temperature. I like that because I can sit longer without feeling super pruny, but it still makes the hot tub extremely satisfying. The baths smell fairly lightly of sulfur, with the ones on the right side smelling the least (imo). - We couldn't get to the falls because the way was shut (by water), but it was really gorgeous up until we had to turn back. We saw what appeared to be red-bellied newts, which was really cool and I was glad we didn't accidentally step on them. Take your time to be conscious of your surroundings! Imagine the views from the perspective of an ant! You can listen to the stream talking at certain points as well :) Lots of robins to watch and listen to near the front gate. - Service was really great, super accomodating and kind. read more

What a hidden gem! I took my best friend and her daughter here for a little getaway and it was everything. It's not a luxury resort, but it is very special. I loved the tubs with the on-demand bubbly water. It was very easy to strike up a conversation with other visitors which was very fun. it's just a unique experience, and you do feel rejuvenated! read more

What a gem! This was a last minute booking and we were pleasantly surprised by the beautiful grounds and amenities. Short drive to Anderson Valley wine tasting. One thing to note is a shooting range in the area (not visible to the resort or road) but you may hear it from a distance. It didn't bother us since it was very isolated and this was memorial day weekend so it was probably more activity than usual. In any event, we found the springs, huge pool, grounds and nearby trails very enjoyable. read more

Stayed 2 nights and 3 days at Vichy Springs Resort and had a fantastic time. This was my first experience here, so I wasn't sure what to expect, but it was beyond my expectations. The rooms were very clean and comfortable for the most part except one person in my small group had to sleep on a roll-away and it definitely needed improvement; the springs in the middle were broken (unattached) and the bed sagged horribly. Other than that both our rooms were fine. AC units, although a bit noisy, worked well. A few mosquitos did find their way into our room and I got bitten, but that's par for the course, I think. The champagne baths were relaxing and the temperature was just right to counter balance the hot weather; if the weather was cooler, the baths might have been a tad too cool. Soaking in the ancient tubs for an hour at a time was just what I needed and there were enough tubs so I didn't feel rushed! After the baths, it was great to sit in the hot tub for a bit, too. My friends really enjoyed the Olympic sized pool on the premises. The water sparkled and there was plenty of room for all the guests to swim at the same time. Lots of trails for hiking, too, so bring shoes for that! The buffet breakfast was a wonderful addition to our stay. They recently resumed serving this breakfast after taking a Covid break. The offerings were substantial with eggs, bagels, granola, yogurt, lots of fruit, and lots of pastries offered along with juice, tea, and coffee. There *is* a gun club a little ways from the resort and you can hear them shooting, but it was pretty muted, and didn't bother me after a bit. You just have to try to tune it out! It would be nice if the resort listed all the amenities on their website. They don't mention if hairdryers are available (they are), whether or not they provide shampoo and conditioner (they do), or if there's a refrigerator in the room (one room had one). I tried contacting them before going, but they didn't reply to my email or return the phone call after I left a message to ask. The one thing I would suggest is that if you book, be sure to keep track of the billing. Both my friend and I were almost charged twice for our rooms. The first charge when we made our reservations was supposed to be a "pending" charge, but it was actually charged through. Then they tried to charge us again after our stay. If I didn't remember that the first charge had posted three months earlier, I wouldn't have known to tell them. The person at the desk said the first charge shouldn't have gone through (they're only supposed to put a "pending charge" on your card), but apparently the person who took our reservations forgot and charged it through. So just be sure you know how many times you're being charged!! They were apologetic when it finally got straightened out, but I'm glad we got to the bottom of that snafu! Will definitely return. Really nice getaway that's not too far away from the big cities! read more

CHAMPAGNE BATHS aka Naturally Carbonated Vichy Mineral Baths are worth trying and makes this place unique! I love me a good relaxing spa situation, and yes we all deserve to treat ourselves!! We came in on a Sunday for a walk-in day use - rates are $35 each (2 hours or less) or $50 each (3 hours or less). I found the 2 hours to be plenty of time to enjoy the champagne bath and hot tub (I love hot tubs!). The hot tub was extra toasty and felt amazing because we went at the beginning of November and we were shivering like babies when we came out of the champagne baths (lol though it's a short walk). The other offerings include a pool and a hike to a waterfall. We did not do the pool nor the hike to the waterfall, so I can't comment on these! I wanted to keep our visit short and sweet - and just focus on the champagne baths. I really had some nice quiet, reflective time, sitting in their outdoor champagne baths (they have indoor ones too), enjoying the nature sounds around me! The cell signal is pretty bad in the pool area, which is perfect since this is the time to disconnect and not be on your phone. I sat there playing with the bubbles and watching them form on my skin. It was really cool! I was chilling and letting those health benefits sink in haha. If you don't go to the waterfall, everything is pretty contained within a 5 minute walking area. When we checked in, we got a very quick overview of the different baths/pools and how to operate them. The woman at the front desk spoke way fast and monotone lol it was almost hard to catch everything, but totally understandable since she's giving the same spiel to each guest. They asked if I wanted towels and it was so casually asked that I didn't realize til after that they charged - $3 per towel. Bring towels to save yourself a few bucks! When you check out, that is the time wherein they'll charge you based on how much time you've spent. They tell you your start time so you know when to come back. She kindly gives a time a few minutes ahead so you can get ready before heading on and enjoying the facilities. I came in my swimsuit but left my clothes in the car. We came prepared with bath robes and slippers to be extra comfy walking around, especially during fall/winter time. I brought with me while enjoying the baths-- my water, phone, keys -- the essentials! Overall, well worth $35 each for 2 hours of hot tub and champagne baths. Disconnnect, relax, and enjoy! :) read more

Vichy is a favorite of my wife's, and we go every couple years. The last two visits, we were annoyed by people talking loudly in the baths, which are like echo chambers. This past weekend it was two women discussing private matter very loudly, and they would not quiet down after being asked to. Later on a family came in and talked the whole time. Some 'quiet zone' signs would be appreciated by those of us who wish to enjoy the baths as mediative time. I don't wish to return if having to deal with this again. read more

Vichy Springs is a little slice of heaven in Ukiah, California. The pools are healing with champagne springs which are rare and well over 5 million years old. The grounds are breathtaking and surrounded by areas you can hike. You can bring a bike and cycle to Hopland down Old River Road. The swimming pool is huge enough for laps and clean and chorine free. It's just a lovely place to heal and rest Or be active. Grab a dinner at Oco Time for a great weekend. Thank you Vichy for all that you give. read more

Love it had so much fun and it so beautiful! Very quiet and relaxing. Rooms were also very clean.

This is such a special place, a visit to Vichy Springs Resort is guaranteed to be a rejuvenating experience! The people working here are lovely and very helpful on the phone if you have any questions beforehand, and the entire property is gorgeous. I stayed here with two friends in Cabin 22 (2 bedroom cabin with one Queen and 2 Twin beds) and we were surprised how roomy it was! There were 2 bedrooms, a cozy living room with fireplace, big bathroom and kitchen area complete with a small fridge, stovetop, oven, and basic cookware. It was thoughtfully decorated and filled with charm. The hot spring water was much cooler than I was used to, but there was no strong sulfur odor, delightfuly delicate bubbles, and the relaxation I felt after soaking was very noticeable. The "beauty baths" really did make our skin feel softer, and the hot tub has the most beautiful view of ferns and the forest. There are special touches everywhere, from seasonal decorations and a delicious breakfast spread to cute signs guiding you the right way on the many stunning hiking trails. No wonder this resort has remained popular for so many decades! read more

Loved this place! I celebrated my 30th birthday here in Dec 2021 w/ one of my BFFs and our group had such an enjoyable stay. I particularly loved how we were surrounded by serene nature, but it was close enough to wine tasting areas (which we totally did). Reservations were also easy. I placed it over the phone w/ no issues. We didn't have enough time, nor did we have the appropriate clothes/gear to fully explore this gem, but I will definitely come back to do some hiking! read more

Excellent get away from the city, you can relax in the warm water of the hot springs as the bubbles flo all over your body giving you such a feeling of euphoria.

Staff at the front desk was wonderful and knowledgeable of the property and area. Take a look and get out of the city for a few days this is a nice trip.

What a unique experience! Spent my birthday weekend here (just for day use) and it was such a great escape from the hustle and bustle of Bay Area life. We paid just for the day, which gives you access to all their trails and champagne baths. We went in the winter so it was quieter, but I can only imagine how busy it'd be in the summer since the baths were already almost full when we went. We started our afternoon off with a hike to the waterfall. I think it took us just over an hour roundtrip. Prepare to get wet, as the trail criss crosses a stream! It's a relaxing journey though and the falls are definitely a nice destination. The baths themselves were such a special experience. Do note that the bath you choose may not be the same as others, in that it won't fill up. We initially chose 2 baths that would not get past halfway in the tub. We were about to give up, but luckily found 2 other baths that worked much better and filled to the top no problem. I do wish all the baths worked the same, but I think it's due to the pressure of the springs underground and can't be helped by the property? I'm not entirely sure. The baths are ancient so don't be alarmed by their primitive appearances. What's so special about them are the bubbles that cling to your body while you're in there! I just closed my eyes and sank in for a good half hour and it was so therapeutic. Bring your own towels if you can since they charge for towels. read more

We are coming to Vichy Springs very often: when time allows - every two weeks year round, from Daly City, CA. It is our favorite resort for the last 25 years. We feel home there, staying overnight in the luxury cottages or paying just daily visit. What is amazing there - I wouldn't be able to say in few words, but first what comes up are hospitality, wildlife, silence, fresh air, and of course - the famous Vichy Springs carbonated water. We soak in it, we drink it, we take it home. Not to mention that all of that, plus neat and clean environment is taken care of and maintained by Gilbert Ashoff and his stuff. Thank you so much for keeping this piece of Eden the way it is! read more

My husband planned a totally unexpected couples weekend for us to visit the famed Champagne baths. He booked us a Mountain View room for two nights. At first, I was a little hesitant and underwhelmed. I can be a bit of a princess and I like to be pampered. What you'll get here is a lovely, albeit no frills, experience. The check in was quick and we were handed real keys to the room (no electronic locks here). The grounds were quiet and orderly, although the plants were suffering with the current drought conditions (and water restrictions). Our room was small, clean and bright. Beautiful blue French toile bedding and curtains, whitewashed board walls and ceiling. I was distraught that there was no mini fridge, but we chilled the wine we picked up at a winery en route in an ice bucket. Not to waste time, we headed straight to the baths to check them out. I'm not going to lie.. my first reaction was a bit put off. Luckily, the owner prepared us during checkin and we knew the colorful calcification on the stone tubs was from the richness of minerals in the water. The water, a natural 91 degrees, fills the tub and you plop your overtired little body right in. Tiny bit of heaven. Imagine your body suspended in an effervescent womb... if you're brave enough to put your ears in you'll be tickled with all the bubbles. So relaxing. You can choose to soak in an enclosed room or outside. There's also a hot tub and hundreds of acres to explore and hike. The pool is gigantic and beautiful. Crystal clear water, no chlorine and plenty of space to relax and maintain social distance. Tips: there is currently no breakfast served (not even coffee service ), so plan on going out. There are no meals, only a few vending machines for soda and snacks. If you want food in your room, bring a cooler. There are picnic tables placed around the facility and the pool area. This is a quiet, out of the way place to plan on relaxing, reading, soaking and doing absolutely nothing. Go, enjoy the quiet and detox away. read more

It's difficult to rate Vichy Springs because I have various feelings regarding the property and the actual hotel room. So, I guess I will do an average. Property Grounds (5 star) - The property was absolutely beautiful. We did not go for a hike but if I visit again I will take advantage of the hike. Pool/Bath (4 star) - The champagne bath was absolutely amazing! It's the best part of the entire place. We had aches and pains which went away with some time in the bath. The swimming pool was huge... my only complaint is that is was freezing cold despite being advertised as being heated by solar. This was not the case. Hotel Room (2 star) - The pillows were flat and in comfortable. The bed was hard... it felt as if I was sleeping on the ground. They really need to invest in new mattresses and pillows. We had to go into the Champaign baths before we left because the bed made us hurt. Despite being off, the heater made a ticking sound all night. I got absolutely no sleep because of this. read more

I frequented this business for years paying online and arriving to find a key waiting for me after hours. I found the staff professional at worst and the overall experience wonderful at best...until this spring .. As other reviews here which have not been cleansed from this page do note, the staff occasionally tries to abuse and bully guests by demanding credit cards when there is no need to demand a physical credit card. One specific excuse for abusing customers that you can see repeated in more than just this review on Yelp, is when a customer books online and has no further business with the front office staff. If the unlucky person in this situation comes near the front office staff, they are sometimes subject to verbal assault, threats, and accusations by the front office staff. This business would receive no stars if I had not experienced good service over the years. This year, after having experience what I did and reading other Yelp reviews, I fear that my good experience may have occurred because I simply avoided the front office staff. It is important to the community that problems like this be spoken of publicly. This place really could be a treasure. read more

I had a lovely stay at Vichy Hot Springs. The campus was well maintained and lovely. We stayed in a 2 bedroom cabin. It had basic amenities like small bottles of shampoo, conditioner, disposable shower cap and soap. They do not provide tooth brushes or tooth paste. If you need more towels, you'll have to walk to the office for them, or the service will bring it to you when they clean your cabin. The use of the towels were included in the cabin price (I read on their site they charge $3 per use of a towel). I enjoyed the cabin, it was clean and roomy. The bathroom was pretty big too. The cabin bathroom has a walk in shower. The cabin had a window AC that kept the hot summer heat (111 degrees F) out. The cabins don't have a freezer, so you'll have to bring your own cooler and fill it with ice. There's an ice maker in the exercise/ game room which is locked at 9 PM, I think it opens at 8 AM? So best get your ice before it closes. the machines and games are off limits due to COVID. The ice maker room is next to the mineral water unheated pool, near the entrance of the campus. The pool has a "public" restroom there and an outdoor shower next to the restroom. Another restroom is next to the office/ store. The baths were luxurious! I didn't expect such a relaxing stay considering I was expecting the hot weather and the hot springs mix would make me a boiled egg; but alas, I was a cool cucumber. But a hot spring dip in the middle of the beautiful inferno heat was surprisingly refreshing, relaxing and comfortable! I was able to fall asleep while floating comfortably in the champagne bath. I could feel the bubbles mature and float up from my skin and pop. It was such a treat. Like a light tickle of massage. All the baths and pool are all swimsuit mandatory. It's pretty dark out at night (baths close at 2 AM open at sunrise) so best to bring a flash light, a towel or robe and wear flip flops. The bridge to the tubs is really cute but bumpy. Their beauty baths don't work as well as the champagne baths, only one room filled the bath quicker than the others; given how many people are using bath at the same time, and the bath didn't drain fast either, and one bath was missing a plug. I love that there is a choice with the baths, semi indoor with a window with no glass (private) with two single tubs per room, and outdoor baths (more public). The hot tub next to the natural hot spring baths was so nice to use after a cool dip at night. I can see the stars, it's very relaxing with some cool drinks I brought to the tub. They used to allow people to drink and visit spring, but they closed it up due to COVID. The receptionist said you can still bottle up the water coming straight out of the tub unplugged before it touches the tub, plastic bottles only, no glass allowed. The water was salty, lightly carbonated and metallic tasting. The campus also has a meadow next to more rooms. There is a bbq pit there, and a lot of red woodpeckers and blue jays. The campus is several acres, I tried exploring, but i started too late...10AM and it was a burning inferno then. I gave up, but I would've loved to see the waterfall. The receptionist said that the waterfall was dried up at the time, so glad I didn't miss out. They have a room for breakfast, but it was closed because of COVID, and they didn't serve breakfast when I was there. But fear not, the town is just a few minutes drive away. The full kitchen in the cabin except for a freezer was available for making meals. They also have a cute store that sold rings and soap. Would've liked to buy some bath salts, earrings or mineral water from their springs, but they didn't have any. The owner said one day he'll bottle and sell the water like they did in the past. So until then, I'll just take a sip from the tub. The only thing I really would've made the trip 5 stars was to have a vending machine for ice cream since they don't have freezers, or just having a freezer for my ice cream after a bath. But I learned that yogurt or fruit milk would've been just as enjoyable after a hot dip, and that's possible with the small fridge in the cabin and a thermal bag. All in all, I love Vichy springs. I look forward to another future stay. read more

See all

Love this place! Have been going on my birthday for the past few years! The outdoor tubs and peaceful property are so special!

Vichy Springs are cool, they are not hot. They are not warm. The water is around skin temperature so it feels slightly chill. There is a gun club across the road that is open from morning to night every day so it sounds like you are in a war zone all day. This is sad for the resort and detracts from a relaxing experience. The rooms are quite small and have little ventilation other than a/c units. During Summer months you have to sleep with the a/c on all night. Ceiling fans would be nicer but there are none. There are also very bright porch lights on all night that are not controllable and are like headlights shining on your room. We hung beach towels over the curtains to approximate nighttime. Not a relaxing country experience. read more
