I just got back from a wedding weekend at Wilbur Hot Springs and had an amazing time! The place was rustic and magical, and was a great place to hold a wedding weekend. We rented out the entire place, and used the communal kitchen to cook our meals. Late night dips in the hot springs were incredible, and mid-afternoon yoga.... more

I disagree with a lot of the negative reviews. Many of these types of clothing optional hot springs ARE pricey, but keep in mind you aren't paying 175 for just the room, you are paying for the room and the use of the pools (which are open 24 hours). I usually go off season and pay closer to 140 for... more

Cheers and good day, and thanks to you - not only for taking the time to write a review, but for your graciousness and enthusiasm about our grounds! It is true that the price includes the springs round the clock, but we also like to think that the extra couple bucks a night keeps us relatively hidden, removed, and less...

I was skeptical going to this place: I have to bring my own towels, robe and food? Once there, I relaxed and enjoyed the communal spirit, especially the kitchen. The other guests were very friendly but also respectful of privacy and solitude. The place is rustic and simple in a good way. It's kind of like camping but with a... more

Your review was fantastic... concise, touched on all the important points... as well as conveyed the transformation so many people experience.... Skepticism about such a novel experience; but it is experience that makes life a little more exciting, isn't it! I am happy to see you enjoyed yourself, and you not only understand us... but were kind enough to share...

There is something about Wilbur. And I am biased because my husband and I chose this place for our wedding weekend. I have read the other reviews and agree with some and vehemently disagree with others. I will share what we wrote to our guests, because the key to appreciating Wilbur is to know what it is all about. our... more

What a beautiful wedding weekend you must have had... I haven't seen one of the weekend weddings yet, but I cannot imagine a more intimate and special place to become completely united with another. As it happens, I am getting married next weekend, and I am almost jealous of the idea of being so removed from society.... so removed from...

what a mixed bag this place is! Truly in all my years as a hot springs fanatic all over California, i've never found waters more amazing. The high concentration of sulfur and minerals leaves the skin and temperment absolutely soft and blissful. I dream of their flumes of hot water when I'm not there. And even the area where you... more

Cheers and good day to you! We truly, deeply appreciate the time you took to write your review.... it is vital for us to hear about every range of experience... and often times the words of someone less than thrilled can be the most beneficial and helpful for our little inn! Thank you so much for leading with our pride......

Beautiful scenery...lovely baths...but was surprised by the lack of amenties for the price-tag. The rooms simply aren't worth the $198.00 we paid to stay in a room with a double bed instead of the queen we had booked. The bed was terrible and the only showers are across the driveway next to the baths. The kitchen was nice and the... more

Yes, the waters are as advertised. A dark green and even the coolest of the warm tubs will warm your bones. Very little odor. The outdoor showers are discreet and nice. But at a pretty heflty price. $170 a night? Mercy You'd think you would get turn down service for that, with a mint on the pillow. No—just a double... more

Cheers and good day! Thanks for the kind words and the time you took to write a review (oh so long ago)! I know we are a bit late getting online, but better late than never.... and in this case better now than later! Our waters are famous in hot springs circles for their mineral content and healing properties... and...

I'd never been to a clothing optional spa before, but had heard so many great things about this place I knew I had to give it a go. I was not disappointed. From the moment I arrived, I knew this was a safe, relaxing, and rejuvinating place. The staff is friendly, the grounds are beautiful, the rooms are charming, and... more

Oh my! Thank you so much for your kind comments about our hotel - and your intuitive commentary about two of our favorite things! First... it is clothing optional. That is a hurdle for some people.... however I have never seen anyone worry about it here. What's interesting is that people who choose to wear suits (other than dealing with...

Your review was cathartic! It was rhythmic poetry too! I could go on... frankly I love too. It is our pleasure to provide a true off the grid experience.... it is almost mystical. It is hard for me to write about it and not be in our baths! =) You also said something I could never say, but will repeat........

Wilbur Hot Springs The best hot mineral waters anywhere. Lives up to its reputation as "in all the world no waters like these". truly a unique healing place with its own 1400 acre nature preserve...and just 2 hours from my home near san francisco. the prices are great also. more

I know we are late.... but we just have to say thank you! At times like these it is important to remind our guests that we are listening.... we are always learning.... and we love your support, stories, advice... and the basic community built around what we offer. It is very exciting, and humbling as well. Please let me know...
