Hot Springs Soaking

Hot Springs, MT, has been celebrated for its healing waters for over 150 years. Countless stories of remarkable cures inspired our town’s motto: Limp in, Hop Out!—later updated to Limp in, Leap Out!

As part of your stay, you’ll enjoy exclusive access to one of our hot mineral soaks, affectionately known as “The Plunge.” Near the corner of Wall St. and North St., you’ll find our shared tub, fed by 100% natural, continuously flowing hot mineral water. Open year-round, this outdoor soak is enclosed within a privacy fence, conveniently located just 30 yards from our Suites and 100 yards from our RV Park.

For those staying in our Guest House, an additional private plunge awaits—right on your deck.

FAQS

How would you describe your Plunges?
We use recycled hot tubs, which have proven to be good vessels for comfortable soaking. There is no electricity to either of our tubs, (no jets) and the rate of flow-through is sufficient so no additives or chemicals are necessary or required.

When are the Plunges open?
For our guests, they are open 24/7, cleaning times excepted.

Can I come soak for the day?
Unfortunately, no. We are not set up for day use. This is primarily because there are no separate shower or bathroom facilities near the plunge.

Should you shower after soaking in hot springs?
Please shower before: Clean bodies and pores mean better detoxification and mineral transmission. It also means our pools will stay clear and free of lotions, oils and chemicals. Most find that it is beneficial to not shower after soaking so that the minerals remain on the skin.

What are some benefits of the hot mineral water?
Soaking in our hot springs can be a great way to naturally detox your skin. Thanks to the high amount of silica in the water, it can also soften rough or dry skin. Plus, the mineral content of sulfur springs has been shown to help persisting skin conditions like psoriasis, acne and eczema.

Who should avoid hot springs?
Elderly people or people who have high blood pressure, arteriosclerosis, heart disease, are pregnant or those with disorders of the respiratory organs should not bathe in water that is 107°F or hotter.
