Winter in Hot Springs, NC

Every passing season brings it's own beauty and character to the area. Winter is a particularly peaceful season here in the mountains. With the onset of colder weather and shorter days, there is more time to reflect and relax.

There are many cozy cabins in and around Hot Springs for you to enjoy even in the coldest months. Several local restaurants with delicious menus stay open throughout the year as well. The natural hot mineral waters at Hot Springs Resort & Spa are still open and available during the winter season.
