We've learned we are home to rare aspects that, when present, make a private hot springs experience pretty magical. Even the presence of just one turns out to be quite unique.
The source is part of the experience. It turns out that most commercial hot springs experiences have sources that are deep within the ground and accessed through an array of pumps, piping, and diversions. Our source is 165° F and churns out over 400 gallons per minute.
You can soak right alongside an open body of water. Rivers, lakes, streams, and ponds often go hand in hand with hot springs, but not always. It is fairly common to take a dip in a mineral pool miles away from a larger body of water. 40-foot from our pools floats the Bear River within the Oneida Narrows Reservoir.
You're surrounded by an expansive natural environment with no fences, streets, walls, traffic, or city distractions. Commercial hot springs often mean commercial experiences with a clear separation from our natural world. While our fully off-grid location brings challenges, we are thankful it brings more deer, swan, and moose than it does streetlights and car horns.
Combined, we think this is part of what makes Maple Magic.
