Dr. Wilkinson’s is an oasis in Calistoga. Still remaining one of the very few places to mud bathe in the world since its establishment in 1952, Dr. Wilkinson’s Backyard Resort and Mineral Springs is a health oasis reimagined for the modern traveler.
Featuring a fresh mid-century-inspired design, 50 renovated guest rooms, three geothermal mineral pools, a restaurant with expansive outdoor dining space, and a reimagined spa, Dr. Wilkinson’s is truly the place where wellness meets happiness.
The resort offers a mix of guest room types, including a standalone, one-bedroom bungalow; three Spa Cottages featuring clawfoot tubs for soaking; a Peloton room for fitness-minded travelers; and a restored, five-room, 1924-vintage Victorian bunkhouse that sleeps 15, ideal for group travel and retreats.
The renovation weaves in playful experiential touch points throughout, including a backyard lawn area for games and picnicking, and a retro-inspired lobby featuring an innovative water installation and a variety of local apothecary products.
