Description

Mono Hot Springs Resort, located on Edison Lake Rd in Lakeshore, CA, is a remote wilderness destination that offers a true backcountry experience with rustic cabins, natural hot springs, and access to Sierra National Forest hiking and fishing. The resort features a general store, restaurant serving buffalo burgers and elk dishes, and a bathhouse with mineral water tubs, though guests should be prepared for the challenging single-lane Kaiser Pass road that requires about an hour of careful driving to reach the property. The natural hot springs themselves are located on public National Forest land about a quarter-mile from the resort and are shared with campers and day visitors, with varying temperatures and both concrete-lined and natural mud pools available. While the setting is undeniably beautiful and the staff generally friendly, the cabins are very basic with limited electricity (power cuts off from 11:45 PM to 8 AM), and amenities like the bathhouse close early at 8 PM, making this more of a rustic camping experience than a traditional resort stay.
