Sierra Hot Springs

Sierra Hot Springs is a retreat center and natural hot spring property in Sierraville, Sierra County in the northern Sierra Nevada foothills of California, a small community set in the high Sierraville Valley between the main Sierra crest and the Great Basin at an elevation where mountain air and open sky create an environment of extraordinary clarity and natural peacefulness. The bicarbonate mineral waters emerge from the geothermal system underlying this part of the Sierra Nevada and are offered in a series of outdoor and indoor pools — including a historic round bathhouse and a rooftop pool under the open sky — on a property that operates as a spiritual retreat center welcoming guests of all backgrounds and beliefs for personal restoration and contemplative rest. The surrounding Sierra Nevada landscape of pine forests, mountain meadows, and the proximity of Plumas and Tahoe National Forests provides exceptional outdoor recreation, and the night sky above Sierraville, free of light pollution, offers some of the finest stargazing in California. Sierra Hot Springs is a distinctive and quietly celebrated Northern California thermal destination that blends natural hot spring culture with the values of intentional community and spiritual renewal.
