The new owners of the Hot Springs Hotel have cleaned and filled the local pond, with hot spring water! It is a beautiful place to hang out and get cool in the summer or hike around in the winter.

Traveler advice
What to pack
Weather Changes
The weather is very different here than in San Diego city. Please check the weather forecast to pack appropriately for your stay! The months of October through March can be cold, layers and warm jackets are a must for inside and outside the cottage.
Summers can be very hot, we recommend light weight and light colored clothing, but still bring something warmer as the temperature drops quickly at night.
