We recommend that you reserve online and make sure you have a spot.  
THE SPRINGS at Idaho City is limiting the total number of guests so they’re never over-crowded and all guests feel like they have space to relax and breath.  Come escape the inversion this weekend!
We ask you to pick the general period of time you plan to come, but you stay as long as you want.
Our Cafe is now open.  The Steam Room opens on March 15th.  Our beer and wine license is still under review but we expect no further delays on it.

Live music is happening several days out of the week.  See facebook for the latest.
Poolside service continues day and night with complimentary herbal tea, lemon infused mineral water and organic fair-trade coffee.  Pool-side servers can take your order for other drinks and for food during Cafe hours.

What to Expect & What’s Included

Expect to experience a quiet and peaceful atmosphere.

When you check- in, we open a tab for you.  Anything you want during your stay can be added to your tab.  You need not worry about carrying a wallet or cash when using the resort.

In our changing rooms you’ll have a private hot springs shower, personal locker with key, and a large plush pool towel. 

You will find complimentary spa amenities including our signature shampoo, conditioner and shower gel, grooming products, sunscreen and moisturizer.

Complimentary herbal tea and flavored spring water is offered.

Your Day Pass includes:

  • The main pool; a 40’ x 80’ 96,000 gallon natural flow-through hot springs pool with no chlorine or chemicals needed, as it refreshes itself completely every 6-8 hours, is hot all winter and cooled all summer.  The main pool is typically running at 100F in the winter, 85F in the summer.
  • The 16’ extra hot soaking tub, also natural flow-through, currently at 104-106F.
  • The cold water splash deck with 16 jets of cold water for a fast chill down.  The splash deck operates only when the temps are above freezing to avoid icing on the deck (springs, summer, fall).
  • The 12-person spring water steam room with two levels of benches and heat zones will be opening on March 15th or earlier.

Our café, serving a small menu of quality sandwiches, wraps, salads and soups, made fresh daily.  The Café is open from noon until early evening.

We will offer four draft beers, wines by the glass, sodas and of course all winter long we will have homemade dark hot chocolate.  Our beer and wine license is in-process with the state and should be approved soon.  Until then we have plenty of non-alcoholic options.  We are prohibited from letting customers BYOB and we ask that no outside food or drink be brought into the resort.

Waiter service is available pool-side or on the lawn in the summer, or self-service is available at the café window.

Spring and summer will often include live acoustic music performed on our outdoor stage that was carved out of the mountain face above the pool.

In the spring you’ll find an expansive manicured lawn between the pools and the stage; a perfect place to sun or picnic.

Chaise lounges, deck chairs and tables flank the sunny side of the pool deck and several cabanas are installed each spring to offer shade from the summer sun.

The walking paths, the pools, and the building are dimly lit in the evening so you can easily navigate, but you can also soak while watching the stars in the inversion-free clear dark mountain skies.

In winter, a wood bonfire is lit at the far corner of the hot pool for gathering around, having a drink, warming up, and taking a break from your soak.

The entire 20’ deck that wraps around the main pool is heated all winter long by hot springs water coils running under the cement, so you can leave the pool, walk to the steam room, or even go jump in the snow, but always return to a warm ice-free, snow-free path.

The changing rooms also feature radiant heated floors.

A fireplace warms the main lobby.

In the spring we’ll begin offering massage services and Watsu™; a Shiatsu type massage performed while you float on warm water.

We will begin building our overnight accommodations in the spring.

HOT TUB FOR TWENTY

Well, maybe more like 15.  They poured the concrete for our new 15ft circular pool;  it’s our hottest pool at 104F+.  It’s fed by one of our smaller springs that flows out of the ground at 107F at around 40 GPM.  The water has the same high pH, low sulfur, super soft feeling as our main spring, just hotter.
The new hot tub has two levels of benches, one for people watching, the other for lean- back star watching.

The Springs at Idaho City is coming soon!  

LAYING LOTS OF PIPE

There is so much piping and conduit under the ground at THE SPRINGS that if you laid it end-to-end it would stretch… our construction schedule out months and take us forever to redo it and put it back in the ground.

Take a look at the hot springs pool piping, the radiant heat piping for the building heating and heated pool deck, and the electrical conduits to power lighting, the steam room, the new pool lights and the stage.  Then there are the drainage pipes, and the spring water drinking water piping, and the irrigation system, and the pipes to the nozzles on the splash deck (water jets in the deck like at the Boise Grove) and I’m sure I’m missing something.

It’s a complicated system, taking months to design and install, all meant to give you a hotter winter pool, a cooler summer pool, a snow and ice free deck, and more.  When we open, you will not see any of it, but you will certainly enjoy the experience it brings.

Thanks go out to Bob Wylie, Kurt Gindling, Andy Burke, Hank Elliot, Tikker Engineering, American Mechanical, High Ground Electric, Ramisch Plumbing, Evergreen Sprinkler and I’m sure I’m missing someone.
