A spa facility with a spacious hot tub and a large pool that can be reserved for private use.
It is also easily accessible from the urban area.
Rent the Expansive Pool
Roy Stone Hot Springs is a 50-minute drive north of the state capital, Boise.
Thanks to irrigation using hot spring water, lush green trees grew around the facility.
Roy Stone Hot Springs, which operates as an RV park, campground, and event venue, had a simple atmosphere that seemed typical of a family-run business.
Its history dates back to Native American times, and the first white person to own the hot springs in 1889 was a German immigrant.
After changing hands several times, it became the property of Roy Stone in 1919, which is also the name of the current facility.
However, Roy Stone had never actually visited this place.
While confined to his sickbed at a sanatorium in Portland, Oregon, he decided to purchase the distant hot spring rumored to have healing properties in order to improve his health.
However, he died just before moving, and his wife Eva and her son continued to run the spa resort under the name of Roy Stone.
The geothermal water can be enjoyed in two locations, a pool and a hot tub, both of which can be reserved online for private use.
In other words, even such a large pool is reserved for private use.
The fee is $20.00 per hour for up to 10 people, with a maximum capacity of 35 people (at the time of writing).
It was an outdoor pool with an arched roof at the top and a basketball hoop.
The temperature is 98 degrees F in winter and is adjusted to a cool temperature in summer.
Spacious Hot Tub
The hot tub was just as wonderful as the pool and provided a unique experience.
The hot tub area was open to the parking lot, allowing guests to move around freely.
This space also had a party room that could be rented separately for an additional fee.
Even without using the party room, there was more than enough space to relax.
There were unique metal artworks displayed here and there.
The hot tub is also located in a covered outdoor space, with rates starting at $20.00 per hour for two people, and a maximum capacity of 10 people.
Clean and spacious changing rooms and shower rooms.
Colorless, odorless, and tasteless water at 104 degrees F was poured into the tub with bubbles.
There was a natural rock placed by the poolside, creating a natural atmosphere.
Movies can be projected onto concrete walls using a projector.
There was also a switch for the jacuzzi on the wall.
I was impressed by the numerous innovations that create unique value by deliberately focusing on private use.
