When I am completely exhausted after months of stressful work and life, I know 3 hours at this spa makes me a new woman. The mud bath heats you up inside first. The attendants could mot be more helpful or polite. The mineral bath and steam room are an added pleasure but the REAL treat is a massage with a... more

This is a can't miss for anyone enjoying time in Calistoga or Napa Valley. I have to admit, I was a little apprehensive about being covered in mud but am glad I had the experience . . . can't wait to do it again! Like other reviews, go for "The Works". It is worth every penny and the total experience... more

I had always wanted to experience the mud baths and natural mineral springs in Calistoga...and this was truly amazing. The place itself is not fancy at all; if you are expecting a luxurious spa, this is not for you. BUT - if you want a completely detoxifying, relaxing and wonderful day, Dr. Wilkinson's IS for you. Make sure to ask... more

I have been going to Calistoga for mud & massage for many years - Doc Wilkinson's always delivers a soothing and relaxing experience with a staff that is both professional and friendly. The mud experience is the real McCoy of thermal warmth and thickish "mud" that easily opens the pores and relaxes the body. Yesterday's getaway was one of the... more

I didn't experience any theraputic benefits from the "hot springs" mud bath or whirpool. The facilities are rusty, out-dated and down right uninviting. The massage was weak. We believe we wasted our money on this experience. Not recommended. more

Feels like 50s, but overall very satisfying experience. Personnel are very courteous and the massage therapist didn’t even expect a tip. I gave one anyways. However, if you want to be pampered in a luxury environment, better go somewhere else. more

Yum! I enjoyed a mud bath and massage and then soaked in the mineral pools. I havn't felt this relaxed in a long time. The massuese was very thorough and worked on issues i was having in my shoulders. This is an older resort, but you can tell everything has been taken care of and updated throughout the years. I... more

My girlfriend and I just spent the weekend in Calistoga at Dr. Wilkinson’s Hot Springs. We loved it. The spa was the best part. We’ve been to other spas before but this was a REAL spa. God knows how many hotels have spas these days, where the sit you in a warm room, which is a fancy bs way of... more

I've been coming to Calistoga from the bay area for 20 years or so, and used to stay at Nance's Hot Springs before it burned down a few years ago. I generally come with a group of 3 work friends. I was very disappointed in the massage at Doc Wilkinson's. The masseuse neglected to ask me if I had any... more
