We're eager to help co-create an easeful and restorative experience while visiting our land and waters.

Yes. Please review our new Center Guidelines and Agreement to understand what to expect onsite and how to contribute to our overall experience. All guests must agree to our guidelines while visiting.

While there are 3 ways to access the property, we only recommend one access - Please use HW 34 at mile marker 29. Google will often send folks coming from Bear Lake or from the south (SLC, Preston Logan) to turn right at Riverdale and use HW 36 to cross over via Mink Creek. In the winter months (Nov - June) this road is entirely closed and inaccessible. In the summer months, its VERY bumpy and requires AWD or high clearance. As a result please reference this route below and access via HW 34 at mile marker 29. You will turn right passed the mailboxes and head downriver on a dirt road for roughly 3 miles. Please note, we are not able to offer refunds for visits that are impacted by seasonal road closures, weather, or by delays related to attempting access via HW 36.

Our rates vary based on season, weekends, and accommodation type. Explore our Springs page to learn about current pricing for day use soaks and 10 card passes. We also have discounted pricing for children 12 and under, seniors 65+, Idaho residents, and Military. Our Stay page includes a breakdown of our nightly units and rates. Furnished units range between $150-$250 and include 24 hr access to our hot springs and other ammenities. Overnight camping is typically $35-45/person and free for children under 3 and also includes hot springs access.

It highlights the main areas of our experience which include our River House General Store, Bathhouse and latrine options, our Shelter, Yurt, Cabin, Camping layouts, and the communal areas for outdoor cooking and rest. Our River House General Store and reception serves as the basecamp for all day and nightly guests. It includes a men's and women's bathhouse and shower, a grab-and-go cafe with snacks, chips, treats, ice, firewood, and a variety of cold drinks! The General Store also includes a selection of artisan crafts and goods along with a curated collection of camp + hot spring essentials like towells, shirts, coffee mugs and more. All overnight guests are also welcome to a coffee (Cafe Ibis), tea, and hot cocoa bar between 8-10 am served in the River House.

There are steel cooking grills on each of our 2 communal firepits for easy open fire cooking as well as a picnic table at all nightly units and tent camp sites. The group Yurt, River House Patio, and Cabin have private propane BBQs. Personal stoves are welcome at each site picnic table. Indoor unit food prep and cooking is not appropriate. Guests are encouraged to come prepared with their own meals and we recommend arriving with pre-prepared meals that only require cooking. Due to limited communal prep space, group meal preparation can be tricky. Great meal options include: soups, tin foil dinners, open fire or BBQ options like hot dogs, hamburgers, kabobs, dutch oven dishes , sandwiches, etc.. The River House is stocked with a few ready to cook soups, rice dishes, pasta, cured meats, crackers, gourmet treats, drinks, granola bars and more!

Yes. We are open to the public daily between the hours of 10 am - 9 pm for both day soaks and nightly stays. We are closed every Wednesday for pool cleaning. Occassionally, we are closed for private events and scheduled maintenance and encourage all guests to review our online calendar for special dates. Additionally, guests must book their daily soak on our online scheduler which helps ensure we are never over crowded and informs guests of scheduled closures.

Cell phone service is extremely limited - and we think thats a GREAT THING! 2 miles to the north, it is commonly accessible and often guests get great reception by hiking one of our nearby hills or summits. Occassionally guests get reception from our River House cell phone booster, but not always. Verizon tends to be the most effective. We do not have guest accessible Wi-Fi but it is available in the event of an emergency. We encourage all guests to unplug, disconnect, and tune in to the land, waters, and fellow guests. All your emails, texts, and notifications will be waiting for you, don't you worry.

If you have to cancel under 14 days, we cannot guarantee a credit will be given and will take that on a case by case basis.

Due to the intimate nature of our land and narrow roads, we do not have RV and Trailer pads nor hookups. All of our camping is designated for walk-in personal tents that can accommodate up to 4 tents each and 8 people. We have 2 small van/truck top spaces that can be reserved. Trailers are not able to fit in these spots as we cannot guarantee our small parking lot can support backing in and out. Vans/trucks/single unit camp tops must be under 25ft. Our Stay page includes more info on camping options. There is free BLM land 1 mile to the north and a National Forest campground named Maple Grove Campground 2.5 miles to the south that includes a boat dock. Both places allow for RV and Trailer camping

Check in is as early as 3 PM and as late as 8 PM. After 8 PM guests can pick up their keys ouside the River House reception doors and settle in at their convenience. Check out is before 11 AM. Guests are welcome to stay and soak until 4 PM the following day.

All guests must check in at the River House reception and cafe. If staff is not present in the cafe, they are typically onsite in the pool area or assisting guests. Should you not find a staff member upon arrival, simply walk over to the staff house on the south side of the source pond. Additionally, if you arrive after 9 pm, your key will be left outside the River House door and you can settle in yourself. No need to speak with staff for later check ins. The easiest way to spot our team is to keep an eye out for overalls!

To that end, all guests must abide by our Center Guidelines, which include thoughts on noise. During the day, we ask all guests to keep pools radio and speaker free. Music is welcome in personal camp sites and units. Each day, we honor Silence After Sundown in our pools where conversations are limited to whisper only levels when necessary. All overnight guests must wind down loud conversations and laughter and enter into a more quiet tone at camp sites and units between 10 PM - 8 AM. Fires should generally wind down around 12 AM. Generators are strictly prohibited.

The beauty of the Maple Grove Hot Springs experience is found in the quiet, intimate nature of your visit. In order to preserve what guests love most about these springs and this land, pools will be open for public access by phone (208) 244-0695 or online reservation. This guarantees your personal enjoyment will never be compromised by an overcrowded atmosphere. Due to full center private rentals and the current Covid 19 climate, we cannot accommodate drop in guests. Scheduling your soak is required to ensure your visit is a success. Aside from following our general social distancing guidelines while onsite, day soaking will have a few small adjustments that will 1) allow a predictablly small amount of people onsite at a given time and 2) ensure that all guests and staff are safe during business hours. Until further notice, guests can schedule a 3 hr visit during one of our 3 daily blocks. Each block will have a limit of 10 guests. Not only does this guarantee a low traffic experience, it also further fosters a quiet, peaceful stay. Booking blocks are: 1) 10 AM - 1 PM 2) 2 PM - 5 PM 3) 6 PM - 9 PM Guests are welcome to stay on the property to walk, hike, or picnic before or after their soaking block. For last minute bookings call (208) 244-0695.

We drain, pressure wash, and refill all four pools weekly. Because we are sensitive to the noise created during pool maintenance, we are not fully open to the public during that time. We are fully closed on Wednesday for both day and nightly stay guests for complete pool maintenance and landscaping. You can also view our calendar for other event related closures. All other pool closure days are blocked out in our online scheduler and it is recommended that all guests review that calendar before visiting to ensure we are open upon your arrival.

A safe stretch of the Bear River is floatable with tubes, kayaks, paddleboards and rafts. Currently, Maple Grove does not rent river float equipment. For info on launch and take out locations, give THIS a read and explore HERE. This comprehensive public BLOG about the experience adds helpful context as well. Rental Information Rental equipment, including tubes, kayaks, and life jackets can be found at a corner property located on HW 36, just after the turn off at Riverdale. See MAP. Launch and Take Out Location Roughly 4.3 miles south of Maple Grove Hot Springs along the Oneida Narrows RD , just passed the dam, is the river launch location. All water craft can put in here. Floaters have a few locations to take out, but the most common is roughly 2 hrs float south at Redpoint Campground. Groups will need to drop a car off at the take out and leave a car at the launch site.

We are surrounded by BLM and ranching land. While there are no formal trails developed and we are still in early stages of trail design, there are lots of safe, accessible hikes that range from 1-3 hrs directly from our property. Ask your site hosts for tips on which hikes may be a good fit for you and your group. Plan on steeper inclines and spectacular views. Given the informal trail development, plan on following game trails with a hint of bushwacking. Good shoes and a water bottle are essential!
