    View from the hot tub rooms
    Mar C.

    Hot tubs rooms! Private hot tub rooms! They make it very clear that their hot tub hotel rooms are filled with the mineral spa water, so I feel like it's worth the money to spring for one. If you're going with a group, the hot tubs are either 3 person or 4 person. The front desk folks are very nice and patient, as there's usually a line of people wanting to go to their main therapy pool (day usage), but like I said, why not just go for a hot tub room and have some privacy? Many of the hot tub rooms overlook the wooded area next to the property, so it's nice to hangout in the tub and look out at the view.

    This review is for the Spa only. I have never stayed in the rooms or played golf. The spa is simple, no frills, but awesome. I come here at least once a year while visiting my family. My mom and I always do a tub soak, followed by a wrap and massage. It is the ideal combination of treatments. The soak is done in a claw foot tub filled with hot mineral springs water, with the temperature being control by you. It last 25 minutes, then followed up with a 25 minute wrap. The wrap involves you lay down on a padded lounge table that has a sheet on it underneath you. The attendant, then wraps the sheet as tightly around you as you'd like, tucking it in one the other side of your body. (I have progress from a medium tight to super tight wrap over the years.) Then they lay a thick blanket on top of you. Because you have just soaked in a hot tub, your body radiates heat into the wrap. It's like be swaddled. And for the perfect added extra, then lay a cold rag across your eyes. I fall asleep or almost fall asleep every time. I have been in Spas all over the country and some in other countries. I don't know any place else that you can get this exact experience. I look forward to it every time I travel to the Oregon/Washington area. If you are short on time or money, I'd still recommend the soak and wrap alone. PS The old St. Martin hotel, is the lobby area....it's pretty spooky. I've never seen a ghost there, but I'm betting they are there.

    Thoroughly enjoyed my overnight stay. Very quiet and peaceful, relaxing. But we came prepared w drinks food and coffee. Check in process was pleasant. We brought in Chinese take out for dinner and it was perfect. Soaked in the tub numerous times. Wish the hot tub would be hotter than 97F but still appreciated the experience. Will return again.

    Don't bother coming

    This place is horrible. We were late because of traffic by 15 minutes. The front office had absolute horrible things to say like it's your fault for coming late. It's your fault because it was traffic. Incompetent individuals working in the front You should plan on clients being a little bit late. There should be a leeway and that should've been said prior to booking the appointment. No communication was made about that. I would never recommend this place drove an hour and 45 just to get a big fat no you cannot enter

    Front desk. Select the option and pay.

    I enjoyed the hot springs here the first time. Excellent!!! I saw all the visitors there so happy. I got the mineral bath (25 min) & wrap (25 min) as recommended by the front staff. The curtain covers the tub, providing complete privacy. Don't wear bathing suits! Enjoy your bath time. The staff told me that the time was up. 25 min was just right. I proceeded to the wrap bed area, where I was asked whether I wanted it tight or loose. I requested to wrap it tightly. 25 min was too quick. I wanted to stay more. I will definitely come back here!

    Sadly this trip they didn't have rooms ready. Waiting thru line twice after 4pm. After I asked to checkin now and get key when ready I sat and waited in the lobby. Clearly not staffed for a few checkins. The lot was full meaning a bunch of stayovers. So the room cleaning should have been a short list.

    I enjoyed my room with the hot tub on the balcony. The view was great! Staff are always great. The food at the restaurant was really good and a nice Bloody Mary to watch some golfers.

    Talk about a scam. So rude and terrible is the management, that instead of responding to my request for a refund, or responding to my bank's investigation regarding my chargeback request for the room, they ignored us for over 60 days. It took 60+ days to get my money back out of this vile hole of a place. So sad that they decided to use this place as a way to take advantage of folks. It used to be peaceful and relaxing. Now it's full of cigarette smoke and partying that the management couldn't care less about. Attached is proof that my bank got the funds spent on my horrible April visit on 06/21/2025. Don't waste your time or money here. What a genuine nightmare.

    Love the robes

    Amazing get away with my love. We hiked at Beacon Rock and came here to relax and recover. The resort was super cute and in an amazing and gorgeous location. And I don't what other reviews are talking about but the bed and pillows were the best I ever had at a hotel. The luxury robes to go to and from the pool house were a cherry on top. The pool house with the massive mineral water hot tub and smaller but very effective cold plunge was a girls dream. It was busy but all the people were really nice. Over all a great experience I can't wait to go back and bring other loved ones to share it with.

    Horrible place

    Horrible service. I was 15 minutes late due to traffic they for my appointment at 8:00 o'clock they didn't let me in although i booked it for an hour... horrible place you guys need to shut down. Ladies in the front need to be fired with that attitude buisness will go down the hill with people like that...

    I was contemplating whether I should give this place a lower score after a bad first impression. I had booked a room with the hot tub. When I checked in, they gave me a room and said it was ready. First issue, the key card wouldn't work. The guy working there opened it and went to help us get a key that worked. Then, when we went in, the room was NOT ready. We were not happy at this time, but we waited patiently for them to prepare the room. It was a good thing that we had arrived earlier than planned, because I wouldn't want to wait outside in the dark. They need a better process to figure out if the room is ready next time; hopefully, it was just a one-time mishap. Got in a better mood after using the hot tub. It was very nice and relaxing. In addition, the room was spacious, and the bed was comfortable. Overall, a good experience.

    In the desperate search for anything that will take the edge off the pain my wife has been dealing with for more than a month (due to a pinched nerve in her neck), we've visited several chiropractors, massage therapists, and urgent care centers; all have helped to some degree, but there still hasn't been a silver bullet to put an end to her suffering. However, after visiting an all natural, outdoor hot spring last week, and finding things much improved for a longer period of time, I decided to drive her out to Carson, which is much closer to home, to see if another soak session would help provide some much needed relief. I've heard about Carson Hot Spring most of my life, but I'd never been here before. Having experienced some truly magical hot springs in Japan (and now in Oregon as well!), I was skeptical that I would enjoy it here. I'm not particularly a fan of spas and resorts, and even less excited by hot springs that are housed within modern buildings, with the mineral water dredged up from the earth in pipes and pumped into a pool or tub: the experience is just not the same. But hey, we didn't come here for me, did we? $17 gets you one hour of soak time (plus a few minutes on either end for changing and showering) on the weekends; it's cheaper during the workweek ($12 instead). You're given a choice of the quiet, serene, gender-segregated bath house (sorry, couples!), which we did not use, or the more public, communal mineral spa in an adjacent building; my wife opted for the latter. Within, a larger pool bubbles and froths with a mixture of chlorine and mineral water, and is comfortably, almost exceptionally warm. Attached to it is a smaller tub filled with significantly more tepid water, for cooling down. Alternating between these two extremes provides the best bang for your buck, when it comes to muscle relaxation. Carson provides many other services across its campus: massages (including couples), bath and wrap, a somewhat Spartan communal game room, some snacks and beverages purchasable at the concierge desk. Hotel rooms are available, and plentiful, although the quality of said rooms was not observed during our single day trip visit. The hot springs, as a business entity, has existed here for over 130 years, and the original building, where hotel rooms and spa services are booked, looks the part, while the outlying buildings, where overnight visitors will find their rooms, are significantly more modern in comparison, although they still look dated. Sadly, all of the soaking pools are accessible only for guests 18 and older, meaning that I had to abstain from enjoying them (this time), as someone had to stay out to watch our newborn son. However, even if he hadn't been with us, 18 seems a bit extreme. Excluding young children (under 6, maybe?) seems reasonable, but anything higher than that, I just can't reckon a good reason why. Considering we took our two youngest boy (7 years, and 11 months, respectively) to Terwilliger Hot Springs last week, and they both had a total blast, it's even harder to fathom...and that place is clothing optional, and in the middle of the woods! Even with these complaints, Carson Hot Springs still offers a wonderful, rejuvenating experience, for a reasonable price, and is a fantastic little day trip from Vancouver or Portland. Whether an overnight stay is worth the price of admission, I couldn't tell you (yet), but as far as my wife is concerned, her long, luxurious soak did wonders for her pain management, at least in the short term. Whether that's due to the properties of the water, its temperature, the relaxing atmosphere, or all three, the result is the same: she felt much better afterward. I guess that's why this place has been here for more than a century.

I went with my daughter the other day and was saddened at how the newer management has let things down. The pro's: You can still get a soak and wrap in a private tub. You can still pay by the hour to use the pool. The lobby offers free tea, water, and coffee while you wait. Hotel room nightly rentals include unlimited use of the pool. Massages are available with advance booking. The resort has a restaurant up at the golf course. The con's: They have decided to do away with reservations and go by walk-in, first come first serve basis. The leads to a back-log, pile up situation. When you drive an hour or more to get there, the last thing you want is to discover you are going to have to wait a couple of hours and then have your reservation still be late by 20 minutes. The bath house staff are overwhelmed, probably due to understaffing. They kept us waiting for several minutes, after already being 20 minutes behind, while the one stressed out woman on duty raced around cleaning tubs, wrapping up folk who gad chosen the combo, re-filling tubs, handling laundry, checking people in. She then forgot me in my tub after my 25 minutes soak while she served others. After an hour and ten minutes I just climbed out. I never got my wrap. The massage technicians are varied in skill and approach. At my last massage, I ended up with a mediocre massage delivered by someone who seemed to have no more than a perfunctory knowledge of body mechanics and technique. At the price charged I expected more. The restaurant is pricey; also mediocre. You will do better at one of the few places in Carson--the cute coffee/sandwich joint with real food, or the brewpub. Or find the food cart at the end of town by the mill. The housekeepers do a good job on the rooms, which are very basic; overpriced for what they are. They discontinued "women identified only" hours at the pool, which were popular. I shared the pool with a group of Russian Old Believers once who are too modest for co-ed bathing. Its a big loss. --It doesn't make me happy to write this review. It makes me less happy to see how this once smooth running, accessible, local attraction has fallen into a sort of money making vacuum. Hopefully, its just a phase and they'll return to quality and service based values as once existed there.

From the moment I walked in, Brooke was welcoming and professional, making me feel completely comfortable right away. The clinic was impeccably clean and well-organized, which added to my confidence in the care I was about to receive. Brooke is and was incredibly thorough, taking the time to explain every step of the procedures and answering all my questions with patience and clarity. It's clear that she genuinely cares about her patients' well-being. The procedure itself was painless, and I appreciated how gentle and attentive Brooke was throughout the entire process. One thing that stood out was the use of modern technology, which made the experience even more efficient and effective. I left the clinic feeling well cared for and with a better understanding of my overall health. I highly recommend Brooke and Outbound Wellness to anyone looking for a skilled, compassionate, working professional[s] and amazing business.
