Sam's Family Spa Hot Water Resort was built in 1971 on over 50 acres of selected desert property with underground hot mineral water springs.
Our therapeutic pools are partially enclosed and are naturally heated by hot mineral water pumped from three underground wells which are constantly flowing through the pools.
They refresh their water daily.

"The Station" is an old gas station turned into a fun retail shop and soon to be coffee shop. The shop is overly expensive on things you don't really need. The decor is creative, trying to capture the desert atmosphere we have here.
Look for the huge statue 20' of Paul Bunion.
It's worth a walk thru.
