Stayed there one night to relax in their hot sulphur springs. Away from it all, don't expect to have cell phone connection or internet. The spa area is nice and you can soak for hours in the different hot tubs. Room was clean and cozy, no keys, it's kind of a hippie atmosphere. Bring your own food, you can cook in the common kitchen and then eat your own stuff. Had a great massage there, too.

This 24/5 to 24/7 on-call gal needed to unplug and relax, and I finally found it here on the 1800 acre, solar-operated, off-the-grid, mineral bath retreat. It was fabulous. I soaked, I ate gourmet food that I brought and prepared on my schedule, I read, I contemplated and I enjoyed my significant other's company.

It's clothing optional only in the flume-area, and all are respectful. No 'scene' here unlike other Northern California mineral baths. At the hotel and on the hiking grounds all are clothed; people do not prance around naked here.

The hotel public areas are so large that you can always find a private places to eat or chat if you wish: Great Room, Dinning Room, Library, Lobby, huge enclosed Veranda and many outdoor sitting areas. A mile away is a lovely picnic table for a private getaway.

If you get a chance, get a massage while you are there...you'll really unwind! I did. AND LOVED IT!!!

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. The grounds are awesome, and the countryside is beautiful. Anyone thinking about having a beautiful rustic wedding has found their place. This is it!

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 the room anyway- it's less crowded and the pools are temperate to hot so I don't mind if it's only 60-65 during the day.

The rooms are very quaint and I 've stayed in a particularly quiet room (which had its own deck). The only issue with that particular room we had was that you actually had to GO OUTSIDE and enter the building in a separate entrance to use the bathroom. That sucked because I always have to use the bathroom in the middle of the night. On the other hand, our room was very quiet and we woke up to about a dozen deer grazing on the hill right next to our deck, which was lovely. I may stay in one of the other rooms next time, simply in order to have an easier time reaching the bathroom!

In general, I think if you are assuming your room cost 175, yes you may feel disappointed. On the other hand, if you assume it would be about 40 dollars per person to use the waters during the day, then your room actually costs less than 100. The rooms are definately worth that. I'm not sure of many places in Northern California that are idyllic and cost less than 100 dollars a night... can you think of any?

The pools are very nice, but very quiet. If you talk, you must talk quietly. The biggest pool is about 90 degrees (or so it felt) and it's lovely to just float on your back (which takes no effort at all due to the minerals in the water) for hours at a time. There is also a small pool that you can talk in that is about 100 degrees, and three smaller baths that are "no talking" and go from about 100 to 106 degrees..

Anyway, it's not for everyone. It has a idyllic, natural setting and cozy rooms, a great kitchen and pleasant sitting area/living room. It does not have concierge service, internet access, and bikini waxes. If you are looking for a high end spa experience you will be disappointed, if you are looking for a cozy, peaceful retreat with awesome pools, baths and a sunny deck, then this is the place for you!
