Hot Springs

Healing Waters Draw Generations of Travelers to Our Hot Springs Spa

Renew mind and body as you enjoy a restorative soak in the natural mineral spring waters of our legendary Jefferson Pools. For years, the Jefferson Pools have refreshed and rejuvenated a fortunate few in the know. Thomas Jefferson sojourned here in 1818, spending three weeks of respite within our Virginia mountain spa, where he soaked in the Gentlemen's Pool House three times a day, proclaiming the spring waters to be "of the first merit." Today you can follow in the footsteps of Jefferson and so many other renowned Americans by "taking the waters" in the time-honored tradition.

  • Jefferson Soak  Soak in these legendary mineral spring waters for an hour and you will understand why Jefferson was drawn to their healing powers. This restorative mountain spa treatment has found favor since ancient times, and is sure to be your favorite, too. $17
