For those who crave outdoor relaxation in natural waters with beautiful views, mineral hot springs offer the perfect respite after a long week. Fortunately for those of us living in or visiting The Treasure State, you'll find quite a few of these natural water parks in Montana. But there is one that stands apart from the rest for the breathtaking scenery that surrounds it, and you'll agree that it is truly a little slice of heaven.

Quinn's Hot Springs Resort sits along the beautiful Clark Fork River, just a few minutes south of the aptly-named town of Paradise.

You'll feel as though you stepped into a fairytale as you take in the serene beauty of the surrounding landscape.

While you can (and dare I say should) stay at the resort lodge and enjoy some extra perks such as extended soaking hours, you don't have to be a guest to enjoy these luxurious mineral pools.

The resort pools are fed from five natural flow through hot springs with temperatures that range from 100°F to 106°F. There's even a cold plunge pool that is 55°F.

There are two additional salt-treated pools that are great for swimmers of all ages if your children are sensitive to the hotter pools.

You might be surprised to discover that Quinn's Hot Springs Resort is a pretty magical place to spend the 4th of July while watching the fireworks from the hot spring pools!

The resort itself offers a variety of lodging options, with the rooms at the lodge being the most affordable. But these private cabins offer an even more peaceful and private experience of this mountainous paradise that are absolutely worth splurging a little extra for.

Harwood House Restaurant is the resort's on-site restaurant that offers the best fine dining experience as you take in the sprawling mountain views.

And for those wanting to step up their hot springs soaking experience, the newly-added poolside bar offers a great selection of delightfully fresh cocktails (both alcoholic and non-alcoholic, including Espresso) on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays from 3:00 p.m. to 9:30 p.m.

Check out the bar's full menu to get an idea of their offerings.

I highly recommend you stay and soak after dark for a more intimate and romantic experience if you plan to visit Quinn's Hot Springs Resort with a loved one. There's something special about enjoying those quiet, after-dark moments of solitude with a loved one.

If you'd like to visit the resort only to soak in the pools, day passes are available from $20 per person on Mondays through Thursdays and $22 per person on Fridays through Sundays. Please visit the Quinn's Hot Springs Resort website for current lodging options and pricing if you'd like to stay a few days and make the most of your relaxing getaway.
