About this Sanctuary
Nestled in a secluded mountain setting, Raspberry Hot Springs offers an unparalleled experience that combines natural beauty with rustic charm. The property is accessed via a challenging but rewarding 4WD drive through nature’s landscape, culminating in breathtaking views of Mount Evan and beyond. Inside, the main attraction is the hot springs pool, which is shaped like a dog as a tribute to a local no-kill shelter. The water is naturally warm and inviting, with some guests noting the presence of small bugs, likely due to its natural setting. Adjacent to the soaking area, there’s a cozy sauna that provides a welcome respite from the elements. The overall atmosphere is peaceful and private, making it ideal for romantic getaways or solo relaxation. Owners Nicolas and Alex are known for their friendliness and attention to detail, ensuring guests have a memorable stay.
