About this spa
Tucked deep in East Kootenay’s backcountry, this is the kind of soak you earn. The drive and trail-in feel part of the ritual, and guests consistently describe the journey as almost as memorable as the springs themselves. What waits at the end is a quiet, elemental setting with open views, forested slopes, and a lake-view sense of space that makes the whole place feel pleasantly removed from everyday life. The springs are rustic rather than polished, but that is exactly the appeal: a natural hot-water pool with a warm, bath-like feel, a stillness that often leaves you alone with the landscape, and a campsite atmosphere nearby that can turn the visit into a simple overnight escape. It is a favorite for hikers, couples, solo wellness seekers, and locals chasing a low-traffic reset, especially those who value scenery and solitude over spa-like refinement. With room for just 10 guests, the experience stays intimate, quiet, and true to its backcountry character.

“We went in off premier lake rd, 9 km on ram creek rd, the painted bear was no where to be seen, a large berm had been plowed blocking the trail, easy climb over and the trek started, the old road has been dug up and the trail moves thru the ecological area towards the trail, nice trail led to the springs, no one there, we had a nice soak, bath water or a little less, but you just can't beat the view,,,”

GoogleWe stayed at the campsites just a short hike away. Note that there are logging sites up the road, but the logging wasn't active when we were there. The hike to the hot springs was gorgeous! The hot springs definitely did give us some sort of rash. We started itching all over our bodies within a couple of minutes of getting in, so promptly got out and hiked back to camp. Long story short, it was worth it to me, but if you are visiting primarily to soak in the hot springs, you may find yourself leaving more quickly than anticipated.
