18 Vichy Springs Resort is the oldest continuously operated mineral springs spa in California. Opened in 1854, the resort is now a California Historic Landmark and has been visited by such notables as Mark Twin and Jack London, and presidents Ulysses S. Grant and Teddy Roosevelt. There are 17 guest rooms, each with a private bath and individually decorated. There are also 3 individual cottages.
All rooms have heating and air conditioning.
Just steps away are the renovated indoor and outdoor bathing tubs, therapeutic massage building, hot pool, and mineral olympic-size swimming pool. Unique in North America, Vichy offers the only naturally carbonated warm vichy baths. Guests are invited to explore the 700-acre ranch where wildlife abound in woods, meadows, streams, and hills. Guests can visit the Old Cinnabar Mine Shaft, the falls where the ferns are always green, watered by their daily bath of mist and spray, or picnic in the forest by Little Grizzly Creek. Smoking is not allowed in the rooms or buildings, but is allowed outside.
