French Broad Rafting Staff Suggestion – Hot Springs Resort and Spa

When you are around the Asheville area or rafting on the French Broad river, don’t forget to visit the Hot Springs Resort and Spa. It is a family run business with outdoor Jacuzzi type hot tubs, that are filled with a continuous flow of the 104 degree natural mineral water. It is a BIG HIT with French Broad Rafting river guides and staff. After a day of rafting, paddling, or hiking there is nothing better than relaxing in the hot mineral water. We highly recommend reservations. While making your reservation for your soak,be sure to make your reservation for a massage or body treatment. They offer Swedish, Deep Tissue, or Hot Stone massages. If you have not been to the Hot Springs Spa in the last two years, then you must check out their new store and healing facility.http://www.nchotsprings.com/nc-hot-springs-spa-services.html

If you are looking camping or cabins to stay in the Hot Springs Campground is right across the street from the Spa. The Campground has RV hook ups, tent camping, and camping cabins. While you are at the campground make sure get a bite to eat at “Good Eats” located in the campground store. The owners, Martha and Sachie, make great burritos with only fresh ingredients. My favorite is the breakfast burritio. For lodging check out http://www.nchotsprings.com/nc-hot-springs-resort-lodging.html

Come to where Mother Nature waved her magical wand and created one of the most natural of all wonders, Natural Hot Mineral Waters. Heated deep within the earth, these crystal clear carbonated waters are world famous for their mineral content and legendary healing powers. We pipe these waters to modern outdoor Jacuzzi type hot tubs that are drained and sanitized after each use.

Hot Springs, located in the mountains of Western North Carolina, and cuddled along the banks of Spring Creek and the French Broad River, is a town rich in history and beaming with natural charm, this town serves as an intersection along the historic Appalachian Trail and is part of the Southern Appalachian Mountains.

The heart of Hot Springs, North Carolina, is our 100 acre Resort & Spa. We feature modern Jacuzzi style hot tubs, positioned outside along the tranquil banks of Spring Creek and the French Broad River; our tubs are supplied with a continuous flow of the 104 degree natural mineral waters. We have a nationally certified & state licensed staff of massage therapists on hand to compliment your soaks or for separate service altogether.

Located across the road from the Mineral Baths is the Hot Springs Campground. Here you can find peace of mind with ease and comfort. We feature eight primitive camping cabins, over a hundred tent sites (primitive, group & sites with partial hook up) & Full RV Hookups.

Hot Springs NC Fireworks at the Hot Springs Resort and Spa

French Broad Rafting Expeditions staff enjoyed a night of great fireworks in Hot Springs NC. The local volunteer fire department put on a great display of fireworks. The Hot Springs Resort and Spa gracioulsy allowed the fireworks to be set up on their property and helped with crowd control. French Broad Rafting Expeditions loaded up a rafting bus with staff and their families and headed down the road to Hot Springs. We set up camp at our float trip-rafting location. The town of Hot Springs was hopping. The best seat in the house was right on top of the deck of the French Broad Rafting bus.

French Broad Rafting Bus made the best seat for watching Fireworks

Our hero of the evening was one our bus drivers Mike. He was our designated driver and took care of the clean up when it was time to leave Hot Springs. We hope all of you had a safe Independence Day!

French Broad Rafting Expeditions River Guides Tie the Knot!

Korey Hampton — Mon, 15 Jun 2009 11:51:51 +0000

Two of our river guides on the French Broad River have just tied the knot. Will and Annie were married in the town of Hot Springs North Carolina on Saturday June 13, 2009.

Will and Annie King

They were married outside at the Hot Springs Resort and Spa alongside the French Broad River. Hot Springs NC is a 50 minute drive north of Asheville NC . The Hot Springs Resort and Spa did a fantastic job with the wedding. Staff said they had three weddings and a music festival this past weekend. All went off without a hitch. Great job Hot Springs Resort and Spa and the Hot Springs Campground staff.

Pictures were taken by Scherer Photography http://www.schererphotography.com/services/events.html. They always take fantastic pictures. Photographer Laurel and Videographer Virginia were everywhere with the cameras. I can’t wait to see all of the pictures from the wedding but especially the reception.

Annie is pursuing a doctorate degree in veterinary medicine at NC State University. She is starting her third year in the Fall. Will started teaching middle school students in Wake County this past January. Will was one our trip leaders and Annie one our senior guides here at French Broad Rafting Expeditions. We hope to see them both on the river this summer, when they have time.
