Bubbling Wells - Hot Spring Ranch - Desert Hot Springs, California

Dylan Bell

I recently had the pleasure of visiting Bubbling Wells, and it was truly an unforgettable experience! From the moment we arrived, the stunning natural beauty of the surroundings took my breath away.

The accommodations were exceptional — cozy, clean, and beautifully designed to complement the natural setting. I was especially impressed with the attention to detail and the thoughtful amenities provided in our cabin. Each morning began with a cup of coffee on the porch, taking in the breathtaking views.
Of course, the hot springs were the highlight! allowing me to find my ideal spot to relax and unwind.
The staff was incredibly welcoming and attentive, always ready to assist and ensure that our stay was nothing short of perfect. They even offered guided tours of the area, which allowed us to explore some hidden gems nearby.
The atmosphere in the dining area was warm and inviting, perfect for connecting with fellow guests.
Whether you’re looking to escape for a romantic getaway, a family retreat, hosting an event or even a solo rejuvenation trip. I can't recommend this place enough! I left feeling refreshed, inspired, and eager to return for another visit. Thank you for a fantastic experience! ?️?✨

This is where you want to be in Desert Hot Springs. I visited three different luxury hotels before calling David (who is beyond generous and welcoming) and we found this truly majestic oasis.

It’s the only true natural mineral cold and hot springs (not treated with chemicals) that I found in the area. I immediately felt like I had found what I was searching for and experienced such serenity on the property.

Don’t even think twice, just go.

David is great.
This is a superb getaway.
The tees perfectly shade all the best nooks & crannies, and sing with life. Bring a handful of books, and enjoy cat napping for an entire week in the hammock.
The property is expansive, with hiking trails and romantic amber-glow lighting that comes alive after sunset.
The architecture and design elements fit the surrounding environment with rustic weather stained wood, and adobe with a desert color palette.
Multiple rock lined hot spring tubs, and Koi ponds.
Excellent.

Bubbling wells is a place so majestic and so unlike any other venue that it is difficult to do justice with words or pictures.
The property is adorned with a collection of both indoor and outdoor art pieces that have been acquired over several decades and whimsically curated throughout. Bubbling Wells offers an endless supply of beautiful things to feast your eyes on, from the stunning hot springs spread throughout the property, to the detailed, thoughtful woodworking of the main house, to the breathtaking views of the mountains in the distance. The whole place has an air of desert magic about it, and when my partner and I first visited the property, we knew pretty immediately that it was where we wanted to marry each other.
The cherry on top of this already amazing venue has been the enthusiasm, passion, and flexibility with which the property manager, David, has worked with us to harness everything the property has to offer and turn it into the wedding venue of our wildest dreams. When we met David and started discussing the potential of hosting our wedding at Bubbling Wells, David told us “show me your vision, and we’ll make it happen!”. David has brought this fantastic attitude and enthusiasm to all aspects of our planning, putting in huge amounts of work to help adapt the property to our specific needs. David also deeply cares about the town of Desert Hot Springs and works to spotlight and collaborate with local artists, restaurants, and service providers, working symbiotically with the Desert Hot Springs community.
Overall, this is a stunning, dynamic property that has the potential to range from a quiet but activity filled spot for a family vacations to a venue for weddings, festivals, and beyond. We are grateful to have found it and fall a little more in love every time we visit!

David the owner of the ranch made our stay perfection! The area is well tended and begs to be explored. So many beautiful spaces and multiple hot springs spread out over 100 acres. I cannot wait to come here again!

A truly unique experience and amazing historical oasis in Desert Hot Springs! Best vacation in many years. I stayed in the Pink Adobe Villa which was super clean, newly renovated with all the mod cons, AC and high quality linens on the beds.
Step out back and enter a magical hot spring tub made of river rock, then take a dip or laps around the large, refreshing cold spring with hummingbirds and red tailed hawks flying overhead.
I was given a tour of the spectacular main Villa by David, the owner and host who's passion for the property shows in the details. Having sweet dogs in residence also made me feel relaxed and welcomed.

Best vacationing experience I’ve ever had. The owner David made me feel right at home right off the jump and was the most accommodating host I have ever dealt with. The hot springs and scenery were truly incredible and breathtaking. The grounds of the ranch are very extensive and fun to explore. Amazing sunsets! His dogs are extremely friendly and fun to hang out with as well. 10/10 would recommend. What a unique lodging experience. I don’t think you will ever find anywhere on the planet just like it. Can’t wait to return!

This property is truly special, and photos barely do it justice. There are an endless amount of different places to spend your time here— the super cute old western town, swimming in the lake with the little turtles, the insanely relaxing natural hot springs that are the perfect temperature, hiking around just admiring all the flora and fauna and wildlife/incredible views, wandering around finding magical little nature spots. And on top of that the accommodations are comfy, clean, well stocked and maintained, and all have great indoor and outdoor facilities. We came here to scout this location for our wedding and were sold on the first day. The host of the property is super kind and helpful, very responsive and had tons of recommendations for us. Even down to the people we met who work on the property, every experience we had interacting with people here was so kind. I can’t recommend this place enough, it’s really a hidden gem. The vibe here is absolutely perfect.
