We used to go to Orvis quite often when we lived in Western Colorado. We returned in September 2011 and it was just as good as we remembered it. We like it best in the early morning hours before it opens to the public, and in the evenings when the stars are out. During the day when it is crowded,... More

The lithium springs are so very relaxing. We opted to spend the night so had the big "pond" to ourselves after 10 pm, and before 9 am. What a treat to watch the stars while soaking. The shared bathroom is not a big deal at all. Staff is friendly and gave us a tour upon arrival. Our room was just... More

My husband and I loved every moment of our stay at Orvis Hot Springs. The staff is friendly and go out of their way to accommodate all guests. We were cheerfully greeted, and given a full tour of the facilities. What a lovely way to welcome us! My husband and I stayed in the Uncompahgre room. Loved the decor. The... More

Excellent in every way. Staff was super helpful, very friendly and always available. The accommodations were superb. Newly renovated rooms and spaces were fantastic. The fresh four inch snow fall blanketing trees and lawn added the perfect touch. Waters were clean and perfect temperature. All the guests were friendly and quiet...an overall excellent experience. Nice cooking facilities, great towels and... More

What a great weekend for my wife and I. Entered Orvis with the stress of life and left relaxed, rejuvinated, and not wanting to leave. We will be back. Be sure to stay 2 days because 1 just isn't enough.

Although I love these hot springs, I will never "camp" there again. My husband and I were looking for an affordable option for our wedding anniversary so we pulled our camper down to Ridgeway to stay for a night. When we arrived the parking lot was packed and we couldn't figure out where the "camping" section was. When my husband... More

Yes, Orvis is a clothing optional hot springs, so as another reviewer said, if the sight of naked people offends you, go somewhere else. My husband and I have been going to Orvis once a year since 2002 and I have never felt that this was a place of "weirdos and perverts." There has been an occasional quasi-exhibitionist, but for...

Orvis Hot Springs is just what they advertise. A small clothing optional hot springs. We stayed two nights, found it very relaxing, didn’t even have a problem with the bedroom bathrooms in the hall way. The six bedrooms and two bathrooms are on the second floor away from the public areas. We found the rooms clean and adequate. It was... More

The bathrooms are shared down the hall. On an August day the room was sweltering and there is no airconditioning. Cats were running all over the place (and I'm allergic) -- strange for a place that doesn't allow pets. The hot springs, with overweight bathers strutting around naked, were kind of a trip, but stay elsewhere and just go use... More
