Located just 3 miles outside of the Ashland downtown, Lithia Springs Resort provides an unforgettable experience with a touch of luxury in tranquil and beautiful surroundings.

The resort offers outdoor swimming in the mineral pool and soaking in the hot tub. Also, most suites and cottages contain whirlpool tubs that can be filled with chemical-free mineral water.

The resort was established in 1991 and, after renovation with modern decor, reopened in 2012. Now, the guest rooms are almost always fully booked, regardless of the season.

Lithia Resort Hot Water Experience

Lithia Springs Resort's soaking experience features naturally heated mineral water, rich in beneficial elements and maintained at a soothing 90°F year-round.

The water contains natural lithium, a trace mineral that can support the body in small amounts. With a high alkaline pH of 9.71, it is considered beneficial for the skin and may help soothe irritation, leaving the skin feeling soft and refreshed.

Both outdoor and indoor bathing are available at the resort:

Private In-Room Tubs – Relax in your own private soaking tub, filled with natural, untreated mineral water. Located right in your suite, it's perfect for unwinding at any time of day.

Outdoor Hot Tub and Swimming Pool– Surrounded by vibrant gardens, the outdoor Jacuzzi and swimming pool offer a tranquil place to enjoy the therapeutic benefits of warm mineral water.

Garden – Scattered throughout the property, this beautiful garden provides a serene setting to rest and recharge between your bathing.

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.

A 1915 flyer from the Southern Pacific Railroad described Ashland as:
“noted for three things—beautiful environment, matchless climate, and wonderful mineral springs. There are over forty known mineral springs in and about the city. They are classed as Lithia, Soda and Sulphur Springs. The Lithia and Soda waters are heavily charged with natural carbonic acid gas...”

The hot springs were always described in a soothing narrative of legends, courtesy of their history among Native Americans, to whom the land is sacred. It explains why Lithia Hot Springs has gradually become a preferred destination in Southern Oregon and now offers much more than just a simple soaking and outdoor scenery.
