About these waters

A National Register-listed historic inn on nearly 300 acres between Butte and Helena, run as a wellness retreat with an alcohol-, drug-, and smoke-free ethos. Soakers use a co-ed outdoor pool, gender-separated indoor plunges near 108°F, steam rooms, saunas, and a cold plunge, plus massage services. Day passes admit non-guests, while themed inn rooms and group retreat spaces cover overnight stays. Expect rustic character rather than polished resort gloss.

Good to know

  • Listing researched October 2026 — prices and hours change, always confirm with the spring before visiting.
  • Hydrate between soaks and limit hot soaks to 15–20 minutes — mineral water dehydrates fast.
  • Wild springs run on the honor system: pack out everything, leave the pool cleaner than you found it.
