MASKS ARE MANDATORY AT ALL TIMES* 

 

We have been working diligently on our COVID-19 health and safety protocols for the well-being and safety of our staff and our guests. Our reopening plan is in accordance with the county, state and CDC guidelines and will be done in phases.

 

Masks are mandatory at all times while visiting Harbin, even while soaking. *Masks are not required while swimming in the swimming pool. Masks must be worn in all public spaces at all times unless you are eating, including while soaking and when sitting socially distanced at poolside. Face shields are available to purchase at the Reception office and Food Services area.

 

To maintain a safe number of guests at the pools,  Saturdays, Sundays and holidays are currently limited to guests with “over 6-hour passes” or room reservations. You may still visit for a period of less than 6 hours on weekends but will have to purchase the “over 6-hour” pass. (A “6-hour pass” is available Monday-Friday.)

 

The Dancing Bear Café and Blue Room Café are open. Events, Movies, Dances, Yoga, Massage and Sauna are on hold until further notice.

 

Reservations are required for all lodging at the cottages or caravans and for over 6-hour visits for weekends. Reservations are not required for 6-hour and over 6-hour visits Monday through Thursday. (Walk ins are welcome). You may complete the Pre-Check-In online for a quick check-in upon arrival.

 

Staff is receiving training on COVID-19 safety precautions and hygiene protocols. In addition, all employees are required to wear face coverings. We will adhere to social distancing guidelines and have added sneeze guard partitions to all check in counters. You will notice COVID-19 prevention signage, hand sanitizing gel and disinfecting wipes throughout our premises. We ask that you please sanitize and/or wash your hands frequently. Please practice social distancing, wear face coverings, and exercise good hygiene.

 

Room cleaning: Your safety is important to us. After a guest checks out, our housekeeping staff will thoroughly clean the room a day later. The room is left unoccupied for a day prior to a new check in by a guest.

 

You can make reservations online or through our phone system (7 days a week from 9am-4pm) 707-987-2477 or visit https://harbin.org/visit/

 

We appreciate your understanding and look forward to welcoming you back.



Harbin Hot Springs is one of the oldest hot springs in California. It is owned by Heart Consciousness Church, which operates Harbin as a spirit-oriented non-profit retreat center. Harbin’s historic 1700 acres of meadows, hills, canyons, and creeks are located north of San Francisco, about 30 minutes’ drive from the Napa Valley wine region, near Middletown.

 

Guests travel here from around the world to put aside their technology and busyness, and to relax in Harbin’s natural, quiet atmosphere; to enjoy clothing-optional sunbathing and soaking in our hot, warm, and cold spring-fed pools; to take a sauna or receive massage, Watsu®, and other professional bodywork treatments; to eat healthy food, hike in the hills, attend events, and more. In its most common form, ‘The Harbin Experience’ can be consciousness-altering and deeply transpersonal, with a feeling of unity, and mental and physical calmness. Many of our guests return to Harbin to reconnect with this experience.

 

Perhaps, at minimum, people come to Harbin simply to be in a safe, peaceful place where all are equal and invited to share the calming and restorative embrace of nature.

 

Plan Your Retreat


A Time of New Life


Virtually every historic hot spring resort in the state of California has succumbed to fire in its history, and we joined this clan with the Valley Fire of 2015. Some areas of Harbin are now quite unrecognizable to past guests, serving as dramatic demonstrations of the concept of impermanence. Thanks to good fortune, hard work, and the regenerative power of Mother Nature, many other areas (including the pools) are looking better than ever

 

Yes, Harbin has changed. And yes, visiting Harbin can still be magical. The springs are flowing; the pools are shimmering; the land and wildlife are alive and growing; and our people are as warm and welcoming as ever. Whether you come for a day visit or an overnight stay — and whether you participate in our growing selection of activities or simply take personal retreat time for yourself — a visit to Harbin can help you step aside from the pace and stresses of the world, and can offer a balm for body and soul.

 

The wonderful memories of “Harbin Past” will remain with all of us, so we choose now to begin to create new ones. As we step into this latest phase of our evolution, we recognize that we cannot do this alone, so — as always — we look to our guests to help us co-create the “Harbin Experience” today, and for the future.

 

Your presence here is indispensable. Please drop in for a visit soon, blending your kindness, community and love into the mix.
