Buckstaff Bathhouse, a traditional bathhouse, offers massages and treatments centered around its mineral-water source. Opened in 1912, the Neoclassical building houses a series of baths that are visited in a circuit. The first floor is reserved for men and the second for women. You'll be given linen, towels, and a locker in which to keep your things. Be sure to bring along your bathing suit because the bath circuit, or a series of baths, are shared spaces.

  • This was definitely different than anything I've experienced before. But it was a lot of fun. And the girls that work there were working their tails off and very attentive.

  • Excellent experience, from the front staff all the way to a parfin treatment. I want to say that it was difficult to find information online, so I did it the old-fashioned way. I walked up and...

  • We loved our experience at the last traditional bathhouse! We were warned ahead of time that it would be an 80 minute wait but there was magazines I could read while I sat. The treatments were nice and relaxing. It does seem like they are understaffed and some of the ladies were busting it to get it all done. I would recommend going to the museum first in the national park visitor center so you can know a little more about the experience.
  • *HONEST REVIEW* Too long to read: Great experience! Lots of down time. Nice attendant. I gave 4 stars because of the wait time. We got there at 12pm on a Saturday, walk ins only, first come first serve. We were the first in line for ticket sales at 1:15pm. My attendant Shadow was super nice and helpful. My whirlpool bath was 20min, sitz bath was about 10min, 4min open steam cabinet, then a 10min wait to do the hot packs for 15min. The only part I was disappointed in besides the down time was the hot packs. They were towels soaked in boiling hot water that cooled off very quickly. I loved being offered small cups of ice water the whole time. Worth $40 for the only true traditional hot springs experience!
