My parents were visiting from Canada and my husband and I wanted to give them a taste of what mountain living could be like. So after two days of travel we pulled into Cottonwood Hot Springs Inn and Spa and immediately our tension began to melt. Our room was ready and inviting. It was a welcome change not to have a TV or phone. The beds are extraordinary comfortable as are the pillows (which are for sale). The location backs onto National Forest and you feel enveloped by the natural beauty of the location. We spotted the best campsite I have ever seen, a series of koi ponds separate you from the rushing river and just enough room for a camp fire. All 4 of us had massages and they were really amazing! The idea of this place is to relax in a communal way. If you are looking for plush spa type atmosphere, keep driving- this is not for you. However, if you want to meet and chat with new friends as you soak your cares away then play cards in the great room then come and join us! We have plans to return at least once a month as a reminder to honor our real life as creatures of this beautiful planet.
