Lots of bugs that I never saw. Bites behind ears and on lobes. Incredibly itchy and itched FOR DAYS. Stayed itchy for a week or more.

We decided to include Crane Hot Springs on an eastern Oregon road trip and it was a great decision! Arrived about an hour before sunset and it was recommended that we take the trail for birdwatching and a fantastic sunset spot. Such a cool experience! Then we got ourselves to the hot springs pond for an after dark soak. I had been looking forward to seeing the dark sky with so many visible stars. Even though there were a lot of folks in the water, everyone (including kids) was very respectful and shared the space well. We stayed in one of the motel style rooms (the “whiskey room”), which was justhe a short walk from the pond. Very comfortable and quiet. Would have liked to have access to a mini-fridge in the room but that was our only unmet desire. Coffee in the community room and basic cooking equipment in the shared kitchen was useful. Everyone we encountered - staff and guests - were kind and community minded.

Crane Hot Springs
Wait! Do you hear that? That is the sound of me…..stepping into the largest bathtub imaginable. Crane Hot Springs in Burns, Oregon is off the beaten path, so rural that as you drive to it you think that you must have missed a turn somewhere. But it is there, a little pool of heavenly warm, mineral water with endless skies and rolling hills. We needed to get out of town, we needed some relaxation, we needed a good deal, and we got all three at Crane Hot Springs. We traveled the 363 miles, 6.5 hours, to check out if this was truly a “unique soaking resort.” Having visited many hot springs along raging rivers and at the end of hikes I was curious how a seemingly commercialized “resort” would compare. The thing about hot springs is that they are wild and free….this did not seem wild, or free, it does come with a price tag. However, when I was searching for an adventure out of town and an advertisement popped up offering off-season discounts, I was intrigued. We went the weekend after Valentine’s Day and were able to reserve a small cabin right next to the pool for less than a hotel room would have cost. Keep an eye for good deals. I joined a mailing list to be informed off upcoming events and sales since I know we WILL be going back. Let’s talk about the accommodations first. Everything is very closely situated. The office is directly across from the pool, soaking tubs, bathrooms/showers, and cabins which are directly across from hotel rooms. The only lodging that is somewhat private with a lot of space is the RV spaces, the houses, and novelty lodgings, they are little bit of a walk. We opted for a small cabin. By small I mean that there were two beds and a bedside table and that was all the room available. Not spacious, but really, who wants to stay in when there is a hot spring to soak in? We didn’t mind even though cabins do not come with a bathroom. You have to leave the cabin and make the short walk to the bathroom facilities. Also, it was dog friendly. There is a kitchen on site that is offered for guests that has a small stove, fridge, microwave, and a few dishes/pots pans, and a small table. We used it to heat some soup, bake some biscuits, and keep our salad fixings cold. The office has a few frozen meals, ice cream, and a few odds and ends for purchase if you want to keep it simple. The office also has pool noodles, sunscreen, and the usual branded apparels. One thing to note, there is a wildlife reserve as part of the land. When we went it was very windy and chilly but it was a nice walk for the dog filled with different types of birds and several scenic spots to sit and rest. The walking trail is flat, well maintained, and not very long. Perfect way to start your morning or end your day. We did not book an appointment for a soaking tub, but did glance in to check out the private, tiny rooms with a galvanized tub to fill. The bathroom/shower facility was very nice and functional. It has a big common room with tables to put bags and comfortably sit while waiting inside out out of the wind. The showers were spacious, the bathrooms clean. The entirety of the resort was clean and well maintained. Now, to discuss the hot springs itself. First off, it’s huge…it’s the size of a pool…and hot from one end to the other. It was absolutely beautiful lit up at night. It is not deep, but deep enough to swim and float around. The rushing water cascading down creates a myriad of different heat levels. If you are ready to boil, they have a hot tub they call “The Lobster Pot” that is even hotter! We spent two hours floating around chatting, and didn’t realize it. Time flies when you are cozy. We were concerned about the noise level in the pool when we went to bed around 10:00 because the proximity was so close. We didn’t notice, although, it wasn’t that busy and there were not a lot of people still hanging out when we went in. The pool is open 24 hours! We got up early for another float before check-out. Check out was easy and we left Crane Hot Springs very relaxed and already planning another trip. Perhaps we will stay in one of their novelty lodgings next time, there are covered wagons, tee-pees, houses, 5th wheels, and hotel rooms and suites. If you are a lover of hot springs and are looking for something that doesn’t include a hike, dozens of people crowded into tiny pools, and want to ensure that clothing is not optional (suits must be worn at Crane Hot Springs), then this place is worth the drive. You’ll love it. Maybe we will see you there!

Love the property and the rooms are clean I’d recommend bringing your own shampoo and conditioner for it’s not provided in the room (kinda crazy for how much you pay they don’t put that in the shower . bring your own food as well it’s like camping with a bed and tv 🙂

Hot spring must in Central Oregon
Love this place. So many lodging options from Teepees to themed guest rooms. The hot springs are accessible 24 hours per day. The main pool is a gravel base and quite large. Stars at night were brilliant. Robes are so comfortable.
