Joyful Journey Hot Springs

I’ve been coming here for years. I’ve hosted five retreats here. It’s one of my favorite hot springs in Colorado. Small, friendly, and they change the water in their pools every night. Stunning use of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains and good food.

Not only were the people at the front desk nasty to my 84 year old grandmother and myself. They went as far as harassing my 14year old son and his two friends for their IDs to show they were locals. For one they are 14 and two they don't have IDs. I've lived in crestone for 30years and my grandmother much longer. We used to know the last owners and they were wonderful. But after this experience we will never be going back. costumer service now a days has gone down hill to people who are rude and extremely nasty. We were so disappointed.

This place is awesome!!! It's so chill. You can come for a day & soak, or you can rent a room. It's so relaxing. There's no tv in the rooms, so bring a book or portable DVD player. Just turn your phone off and relax. If you stay the night they offer a homemade dinner and breakfast. The minerals in the water make you feel so good. Had a private soak one time, & the lithium on the water made me feel so loopy. I loved it!!! The staff are great. The rooms are great. Everything is great.

We chose to RV camp here and had a wonderful experience both in the pools and at the dining hall.
Pools have beautiful views and relaxing atmosphere. Other visitors were kind and respectful.
Dinner & breakfast (provided along with the stay) were delicious and clearly prepared with love. We had chicken and mashed potatoes for dinner (REAL potatoes) and huevos rancheros for breakfast! The dining hall atmosphere was also warm and inviting.
Highly recommend staying here!

I cannot recommend these springs enough. Nancy was an incredible host and made every accommodation possible for a lovely camping experience. The springs were so relaxing and didn’t smell at all (not sulfur springs). There’s a big focus on meditation and zen here and it was built to provide an introspective experience. The springs are drained and cleaned every day which was really cool to see! Dinner and breakfast being provided were a nice plus and the food was very tasty.
