Ainsworth Hot Springs Resort

Ainsworth Hot Springs Resort is nestled mountainside, overlooking the vast expanse of Kootenay Lake. The four-season destination is owned by the Yaqan Nukiy, the Lower Kootenay Band of Creston sharing nupika wu’u, or hot mineral waters, first enjoyed by the Ktunaxa People after hunting, fishing and gathering.

The property features contemporary accommodations, the family-friendly Ktunaxa Grill, and ancient healing hot springs. The relaxing and therapeutic benefits of the hot springs can be experienced via the property’s unique cave, where stalactites form and hot mineral water surfaces from the earth, creating a natural steam bath. Guests of all ages can also enjoy the comfortable temperatures of the mineral spring waters in the main pool.
