Hot springs mineral tubs are our main feature at Fire Water Lodge, a renovated 1920's adobe B&B, with southwestern furnishings, hot mineral springs, a serene courtyard with palms & pines. Conveniently located near historic downtown & lake activities.

Bed and Breakfast Description

Hot mineral tubs are the main feature in three of our rooms. The temperature of the water is approximately 104 to 109 degrees. This geothermal aquifer is known for a high percentage of healing minerals without the unpleasant odor of sulfur. The water comes out crystal clear.

These ancient springs have been kept as a sacred place for as long as history recalls. Paleo hunters and mastodons once roamed the hot marshes here. Descendents of the ancient hunters, the Zuni, Hopi, and the Pueblo Dwellers also used them. The Apache was the last tribe to occupy this area. Geronimo himself bathed here for a week and it is said that it was the only time he was ever unarmed. Stories and legends are plentiful about the 7 sacred springs and their powers. Perhaps after a few soaks you'll understand why.

Here is a chemical analysis of the geothermal mineral water underlying the downtown Historic Bathhouse District of Truth or Consequences, NM.
