Lithia Springs Resort - A Natural Mineral Wonder in Ashland

Lithia Springs Resort’s soaking experience centers on naturally warmed mineral water. According to the resort, the water reaches the surface at approximately 90°F (32°C). This is its source temperature, rather than a fixed temperature for all bathing facilities.

Guests can choose between private mineral soaking and the resort’s outdoor recreational facilities:

Private In-Room Tubs - Many accommodations feature private soaking tubs supplied with mineral water, allowing guests to unwind in the comfort of their own room. Tub sizes and features vary by accommodation type.

Outdoor Hot Tub and Swimming Pool - Surrounded by colorful gardens, the outdoor hot tub and saline swimming pool provide a peaceful setting for relaxation. The swimming pool is heated seasonally, while the hot tub is available year-round.

Gardens - Between soaks, guests can explore the landscaped grounds or find a quiet place to sit and enjoy the surroundings.

The tradition of mineral spring healing in Ashland dates back thousands of years. Long before European settlers arrived, Native American tribes had discovered and used the restorative properties of the region’s hot springs.

These springs were considered Common Grounds-land of cultural and spiritual importance to the local tribes.

By the early 1900s, Ashland was promoting its mineral springs to travelers. A 1915 Southern Pacific Railroad flyer highlighted the city’s scenery, climate, and more than 40 known springs in and around Ashland.

Today, Lithia Springs Resort continues this tradition with private mineral baths, comfortable accommodations, and landscaped gardens.

Lithia Springs Resort offers studios, bungalows, and suites, including a Family Suite. Many accommodations have private mineral-water soaking tubs, while selected units offer additional features such as fireplaces.

Guests should check individual room descriptions before booking, as amenities vary.

Beyond the rooms, the resort offers afternoon tea, a breakfast buffet, outdoor bathing facilities, and gardens for relaxing between activities. Some amenities and services may carry an additional charge.

For another nearby soaking option, Jackson Wellsprings offers public mineral-soaking sessions and camping.
