With a population of just 563, this small mountain town is tucked quietly beside the French Broad River and Spring Creek in Madison County. Hot Springs gets its name from the mineral hot springs found throughout the area. Called an ‘outdoor paradise,’ the Appalachian Trail runs straight through the small town. While Hot Springs has access to all things adventure, the town is also extremely quaint and one of a kind. B&Bs are dotted on the hillside, restaurants are tucked into corners, and there’s even a cute main street with sweeping mountain views not far away. But, if you find yourself on the Appalachian Trail or even just looking for a weekend of adventure, one restaurant in Hot Springs is simply different from the rest.
