Harbin Hot Springs 18424 Harbin Springs Road, Middletown, CA 95461

"One of the best kept secrets in the area. Such an incredible and healing experience. The layout and atmosphere is an incredible retreat for the body and soul. Camping is included in day use and they have developed campsite platforms that are fantastic. Also the stars at night are stellar!"

"I went for a 24-hour day pass. It was truly a lovely experience. The hot springs with hot and cold plunges were lovely, there are several waterfalls that make for great white noise. It got a bit crowded for a couple of hours on a Saturday afternoon (to be expected) but the rest of the day the hot springs and sauna had plenty of room. People really adhered to the no sexual energy rules, which made me feel very safe in a clothing optional space. The food was DELICIOUS. The check-in folks were kind. 12/10 I would go back."

"Upon arrival didn't look like much. It was a busy Sunday with beautiful weather. A bit of a walk up the hill but the reward was well worth it. Clothing optional with no worries of your items disappearing. The cold and hot tubs are a challenge but did both more than once. An experience like no other!"

"I'm giving 3 stars because of the glorious hot water pools to bathe accompanied by beautiful views down valley, but any other place I would have given perhaps 1 start. There are quirks to consider: check in staff are disorganized and incapable of making decisions on their own, on multiple occasions provided keys that are vaguely labeled and the same key open multiple rooms, the buildings are named by numbers (1,2,3...) and and the rooms are labeled by the same numbers (1,2,3...), no information or invitation regarding the amenities are provided at the check-in, the rooms are nice and well kept but odd that for $200+/night there's no mini fridge or microwave, especially since you're so far from town, they over sell compared to the posted pool capacity, occasionally the pool monitors all people to redistribute to other pools, and there are lots of children clamouring."

"We had a wonderful time! The pools aren't huge, but they're beautiful, as is the whole property. The staff was all incredibly kind. The service was excellent. The food at the restaurant is a little pricey, and we were skeptical but it was really really good food. We were impressed with the quality of food they cranked out from a small trailer. You could tell the kitchen staff really cares and it made a difference. Definitely worth it. We stayed in one of the domes. It was fun and quirky. A few notes... The kitchen AND bathroom are shared. We learned that when we got there. It wasn't a big deal but just something to be aware of. We'll definitely be back!!"
