Hogwarts Hot Springs. This is a really cool old place but is in bad need of the ongoing restoration that seems perpetual. It has the potential to be incredible. We were there over July 4th holiday and had the place mostly to ourselves. The resort and surrounding area oozes with history but other than the posted newspaper clippings and short printout there isnt much interp to learn from. I was disappointed to find zero history on the native use of the area. There was only brief accounts of the several white owners. The multiple owners probably also accounts for the mash up of styles that clash to the point of confusion in the main lobby. The creepy poker playing mannequins in the corner were a little unsettling. We got good hour long massages from a therapist out of Butte. The breakfast was delicious. Better than expected as I am always skeptical of someone else's cooking. There is a no alcohol and no smoking policy, kind of a drag but probably necessary given the proximity to Butte. We just kept it DL by fixing highballs in tumblers and had no problems. Bathers are required to wear swimsuits and there are separate indoor tubs for men and women. The current owners seem to like the yin vibe and may be a little too "kind sister hippyish" for some people's taste but everyone we met was exceedingly welcoming. Definitely worth a visit. read more
