A white-sand beach with hot springs.
It is a unique walk-in spa facility nestled in the mountains of Idaho.
Secluded Location
Head north on State Route 55; it’s a little over a two-hour drive from Boise.
Just before the village of Donnelly, turn onto the dirt road heading away from Cascade Lake.
Although road conditions were not bad, four-wheel-drive vehicles are strongly recommended during the winter.
Located in a secluded area.
It's a short walk from the parking lot.
Walk through the small yurt-like office to enter the facility.
Closed on Tuesdays.
Hours: 12:00 PM–8:00 PM.
Please note that children must leave by 4:00 PM.
Adults 18 and older only on Thursdays.
It is a walk-in spa facility that does not require reservations.
Clothing is required.
The men's and women's changing rooms were also yurts.
Although the interior wasn't very spacious, it was clean and comfortable.
Use the key you received at the office to access the valuables locker.
White Sand Beach Resort
The soaking area is entirely outdoors and consists of six pools.
The design takes advantage of the gentle slope to allow hot water to flow down through these pools in sequence.
The water temp of the top pools had reached 111 degrees F.
It has no particular odor and feels smooth on the skin.
The stone lantern placed near the sources created a traditional Japanese atmosphere.
The middle pool was completely covered in white sand, making it look just like a beach resort with hot springs
It’s a feature you don’t often see in commercial hot springs: the pool floor was completely covered in sand.
The remaining three pools are connected in a staircase-like formation, and when viewed from above, they look like a ship.
By the time I got here, the water temp was 84 degrees F.
When I visited, the place was practically empty, so I was able to enjoy a quiet soak in the water.
