Vade Mecum Springs Hotel

"Cool history. Hope to be able to stay a night once it is restored."

"I had the pleasure to tour during one of their open house weekends. It's currently maintained by the Friends of Sauratown Mountains. They shared it's history with us and there was an informative video at the start. It was fascinating to tour it as is and try to imagine it in its original glory. Apparently, next year they're doing badly needed renovations so I hope to come back in the future to see the work. Beware, if you go in the summer, it's very hot inside and out! The hike to the mineral water house isn't too hard, but it is a walk down and hence, up hill on the way back, plus can be buggy in the summer (be prepared). It's hard to see the dam and water wheel through the vegetation in the summer too."

"Excellent place to visit. Lots of history here. It's also a wedding venue."

"Old mineral spring motel built in the 19th century. Owned by the state parks now. Would be a great place to stay with a little restoration."
