The Scene – Indian Springs is the oldest continuously operating spa in California. Long before Calistoga's original resort was built here in 1860, the local Wapoo Indians used the site for sweat lodges. The main bathhouse was built in 1913 and retains an airy, turn-of-the-century feel. Formery known as Nance's Hotel, its lodge now features 24 rooms, LCD flat screen TVs and private patios. – – The Services – Mud baths are the main draw, although the spa also offers facials, body wraps, massages and mineral-water soaks.

Classic Calistoga Spa
by dfost11111
They only allow hotel guests and those having treatments to use their olympic pool heated by the hot springs. All the ammenities of the 21st century in a 1900's facility. Great that they keep on file the therapists you have had and the type of massage you like. On a nice day, the pool with the easy to get on floating lounge chairs is luxury. The Buddah Pond for before and after the massage is unique and worth speinding the day. Bring your own picnic and you are set for the day. The staff is professional and nice. A great experience with very few kids in the pool. Great for an adult getaway.
- Pros: Truly a turn of the century Calsitoga Hot Springs
- Cons: pricy

As far as your mud, maybe you should walk around the back of the spa where they dump it after it used, see what you really been sitting in.
- Pros: Good Swimming Pool -but not free must purchase service
- Cons: Too Many

INDIAN SPRINGS SPA , CALISTOGA CA
by shamanurseca
This spa has the best mud bath in Calistoga.
I have tried others, but this one takes the cake. For one thing they use the volcanic ash and water to make a thick mud using the geyeser mineral water. They do not add peat moss as do the others. The mud sticks to you much better this way. The mud is hot but not scortching.
Front staff are busy, but pleasant.
Wait times are about 20 min when you walk in.
ONce you get in you get your mud bath treatment and you are attended promptly. The staff makes sure you are comfortable and safe. The steam room was nice and hot with some Eucolyptus scent inside. The big pool in the front is awesome!. Natural mineral water that is warm( T gauge said 102F) and in the cold weather it was welcoming. The blanket wrap at the end of the treatment was nirvana!
This is the place!!
Cheers
- Pros: BEST MUD MIXTURE IN CALISTOGA
- Cons: WAIT TIME IS MORE THAN EXPECTED
