Vichy Springs Resort is located in Ukiah, Mendocino County, California, a legendary naturally carbonated mineral spring resort that has operated continuously since 1854, making it one of California's oldest and most historically significant spa destinations, where the naturally sparkling bicarbonate mineral waters — similar in composition to the famous Vichy waters of France — attracted visitors including Mark Twain, Jack London, Ulysses Grant, and Theodore Roosevelt during its Victorian-era heyday. The bicarbonate-rich naturally effervescent waters here bubble up from ancient geological formations in the Ukiah Valley with a unique carbonation that is extremely rare in North American springs, and the resort's historic bathhouse, Craftsman-era cottages, and 700 acres of organic fruit orchards along the Russian River create an extraordinary combination of natural heritage and agricultural beauty. This California Historic Landmark has provided naturally sparkling mineral bathing for 170 years, its rare naturally carbonated waters and remarkable historical guest list making it one of the most culturally significant spa destinations in the American West.
