Accommodation for Every Occasion. Whether you're planning a family getaway, a romantic couples' retreat, an outdoor adventure with friends, or simply some well-deserved R&R, Hot Springs Retreat, has so much to offer. Our beautifully designed, fully contained 3-bedroom bespoke tiny home comfortably sleeps six. The retreat is split in two. The main house has one bedroom (queen bed), and the separate wing has two bedrooms (a queen bed and bunks) All living areas have open access to the large deck that looks out to your rural surrounds. You will also have access to unlimited wi-fi, a smart TV, and Netflix. Access to the Sapphire Springs Pools. As a guest, you will have day entry (excluding your checkout day) to the Sapphire Springs Thermal Mineral pools next door. Entry is based on their day entry conditions.
