There's something magical about the pool... 8/14/2006

There is an oversized olympic swimming pool (since 1862) that gets fed from geysers right on the property. You can see the scalding water erupting from the earth right next to the pool. They actually cap it, and then put it through a cooling tank before it gets to the pool. The water in the pool is always in motion. Not a lot of motion. Just a little, and it's just right. I like to go during the week when there aren't a lot of people there. It's rustic, and you have to purchase a spa treatment (which isn't cheap) to enjoy the pool. For me, this is worth it. I have had several treatments (mud baths, body scrubs, massages, facials) and have been pleased with all of them. If you are looking for a foofy spa, this isn't the place. It is, however, in my opinion, a wonderful place to get away. more

  • The Scene
    Indian Springs is the oldest continuously operating spa in California. Long before Calistoga's original resort was built here in 1860, the local Wapoo Indians used the site for sweat lodges. The main bathhouse was built in 1913 and retains an airy, turn-of-the-century feel. Formery known as Nance's Hotel, its lodge now features 24 rooms, LCD flat screen TVs and private patios.

    The Services
    Mud baths are the main draw, although the spa also offers facials, body wraps, massages and mineral-water soaks. Boiling mineral water from three thermal geysers on the property is used to heat and sterilize the ancient volcanic ash used for each bath. This ash, which forms a thick, black "mud" when wet, soothes and softens the skin. After treatments, spa visitors are encouraged to splash into the huge, heated outdoor mineral-water pool, complete with floating chaise lounges and water toys.
