Soak, Stroll, and Rejuvenate: Discover Charlotte Hot Springs & Botanical Gardens in Nathrop, CO
Just minutes from Buena Vista, a peaceful oasis awaits.
Nestled at the base of the Sawatch Range between Buena Vista and Salida, Charlotte Hot Springs & Botanical Gardens is a serene escape where nature, wellness, and artistry come together. Whether you’re looking to relax in healing mineral waters, wander through colorful garden paths, or enjoy a peaceful retreat with mountain views, this hidden gem offers something truly special.
An Intimate Soaking Experience
Unlike large commercial hot springs, Charlotte Hot Springs offers a more private and tranquil environment. With just a handful of soaking tubs — each filled with pure, untreated geothermal water — guests can enjoy a more personal and meditative soak. The waters come straight from the Earth, rich in natural minerals that promote relaxation and rejuvenation.
Each tub is thoughtfully placed to offer privacy and stunning views of the Collegiate Peaks. Whether you’re soaking under a blanket of stars or basking in the sunshine with Mount Princeton in the distance, it’s hard not to feel completely at peace.
A Living Garden Sanctuary
Beyond the hot springs, the botanical gardens are a true highlight of the property. Wander through winding paths lined with native plants, vibrant flowers, and carefully placed sculptures. The gardens are lovingly maintained and change with the seasons — from the early bloom of spring to the golden tones of late summer.
This space isn’t just for strolling; it’s for unplugging, reflecting, and reconnecting. Benches tucked into quiet corners invite you to slow down, read a book, or simply breathe in the fresh mountain air.
Wellness with Intention
Charlotte Hot Springs is more than a soak — it’s a full wellness experience. The property offers massage services and custom packages that can be tailored to your needs. Whether you’re recovering from a mountain adventure, planning a romantic escape, or simply seeking some solitude, there’s an option for you.
