Vichy Springs Resort
The historic Vichy Springs Resort, which first opened in the middle of the 19th century, mixes a rural inn boutique hotel with a Northern California hot springs resort. The opulent lodgings (rooms or private cottages) allow you to stay over or just come for the day. One of the three original cottages, constructed in 1852, would be of interest to history aficionados. About two hours from San Francisco lies Ukiah, where Vichy Springs is located.
The hot springs in this area are special since they are the only naturally heated, carbonated mineral baths in the Vichy style to be found in North America. Since the time of the Ancient Romans, the French city of Vichy has been known for its carbonated mineral baths. There are four outdoor and ten indoor mineral baths in Vichy Springs. Both a sizable, spring-fed, and spring-heated pool as well as a non-heated (seasonal), olympic-sized pool are available. Even a natural cold plunge pool (swimming hole) beneath a waterfall is available at the resort; it is accessible after a 10-minute stroll through the woods. On the 700-acre private reserve, kilometers of hiking routes may be found. The hotel has a sizable spa with a variety of massage and cosmetic procedures.
