Mercey Hot Springs - Firebaugh, California

Short notice day visit, on my way back to Los Angeles from Fremont, decided to call and see if they could accommodate my day use at an earlier time. They responded immediately when the office opened. And I headed there. Drive from 5 freeway was breath taking. Beautiful California landscape. Took about 20 mins on a 2 way road. Arrived to a peaceful quiet property nestled between some hills. Nothing else around. Bring your items in. Rented a towel and paid at registration. Place was pretty empty on this Tuesday morning. Was happy to soak in the clothing optional area where I relaxed by myself staring up to the moving clouds above me. Water was soothing and was definitely non treated mineral water. Note you must let the water run a few minutes to get hotter water. It travels quite a distance from pump house to your personal tub. Can’t wait to come back and stay!

Cute hot springs oasis! Nice hot temperature of the tubs. Slight sulphur smell but you don't notice after a minute. Bathrooms have been recently upgraded with nice tile. Unique place for a day trip in Central California. Bring your own food for a picnic or use the grills.

So, you pay them 50 bucks a day to release Mother Earth's free healing waters that she offers as a gift to all, hmmm. Seems to me capitalism has hijacked the actual living soul of the human species. Please use birth control unless your gonna raise fully self aware concious children, this goes for all of us, yes that's you too... ahem.

Went out on a solo trip for some much needed mommy alone time. Showed up about an hour early and got accommodated quickly with a nice little map and the staff were very friendly, helpful, inviting and made my stay very comfortable. The campsite was clean with no trash. Nice nature views and friendly visits from the wild birds and bunnies. The drive there was very peaceful and quick. The drive over the 5 was so beautiful and had a lot of cattle farms with cute cows and bulls. Would definitely recommend riders who ride motorcycles to take that ride. All in all, Mercey Hot springs has a ton of space for you to wonder around. Nice bike rides and hikes on the rolling hills are amazing and a must to go see their labyrinth maze at the top of the hill. I recommend coming during the spring or fall for the greenery. The sun was hot but the winds made it so much better and enjoyable. I hope everyone puts this spot on their travel list.

What a fun very quiet experience. If felt like I might be the only person on earth. I arrived in the evening on a Thursday checked in and found my little cabin room. I was told ahead that there is no food or drink service there so I was prepared and ate before I arrived. I changed and walked into the hot tubs area, filled up my tub and sat and soaked for 30-45 minutes. It was so quiet with a slight breeze moving the trees, a bird calling out and peace. I loved the lone Wild West feel to the place. I think they are continuing to do renovations. My cabin was tiny and cute and comfortable. I loved the little porch of my own I could sit at and enjoy the sunsetting. I think this is a place everyone should come try.

I stayed at Mercey first weekend of December. It’s so hard to sum up my experience but I will do my best. The location is remote so you’ll see very few cars traveling this little two lane road which is about 13 miles from I-5. The hot spring resort is off the grid and run by solar power/generator only so no power lines overhead buzzing. It is so quiet and peaceful. The water is hot and only has a slight sulphur smell. The tubs were deep and long so you can really stretch out and relax. The owners have created a beautiful space based on their values and do expect guests to be quiet while soaking, including no electronics while in the pool or tub area. This may have been my favorite part of this trip. The quiet. And the smells are amazing- super clean air quality. I stayed in a little cabin which was cozy and comfortable. I felt renewed after my stay.

This is definitely a remote oasis. Stunning rolling hillsides with truly beautiful views. My partner & I stayed in one of their rustic cabins. It was nicer than expected, and we slept soundly our entire visit. The resort is set up for relaxation & your inner zen.

Front desk has a few provisions to purchase, but highly recommend doing all your grocery shopping prior to heading to the hot springs.

We love our visits to Mercey Hot Springs. We stayed in cabin #2 this time. ||Our favorite thing here is playing disc golf. Although the trails are overgrown, we still had a wonderful time. I would mention that this course is world class and just beautiful with the rolling hills as the background. ||Since last year, there is a new outdoor grilling area that is well kept. There are two large gas grills. There is even a heavy duty grilling utensils that is available for use. On each side of the grills, there is a sink. ||The mineral water in the pool and tubs are healing. It is exactly the weekend getaway that I needed.
