Natural mineral springs on beautifully manicured grounds await you at the Carson Hot Spring Resort and you are definitely going to want to plan a getaway this winter.
In business since 1901, Carson Hot Springs has been providing respite for over a century.
The hot springs were discovered by Isadore St. Martin in 1876, and he immediately filed a claim on the land.
St. Martin’s wife had severe nerve damage, which caused immense pain and affected her daily life. Upon bathing in the waters she began to improve and experience relief.
By 1897, after word spread of how the waters helped St. Martin's wife, construction of the historic hotel, the white building pictured in the background here, began.
