State-of-the-Art Hot Springs Facility: The Sleeping Buffalo Resort features a fully refurbished hot springs facility, fed by a 3,200-foot artesian well drilled in 2021 producing mineral-rich water at a consistent temperature of 106-108F. The hot springs complex underwent an extensive renovation in 2014 and includes a 60' x 80' indoor main pool, a 10' x 30' hot tub, a cold plunge pool, sauna, and a state-of-the-art conference room. All pools use non-chlorinated, flow-through mineral water systems, delivering fresh, clear water to the pools without chemical treatment. The indoor pools are finished with tile, while the newly refurbished outdoor pool is coated with a durable Diamond Brite plaster and ArmorCoat epoxy. Added in 2025, the outdoor pool measures an impressive 128' x 60' and features underwater lighting, water features, and a hot tub, all surrounded by a spacious turf lounge. Natural Healing Waters with Impeccable Care: The natural artesian spring water is known for its holistic healing properties, containing key minerals such as silica, sulfates, calcium, and magnesium. A flow through filtration system, delivers new water to the main pools every 5 hours and to the hot tubs every 30 minutes. Pools are drained and cleaned regularly, and closely monitored for temperature and sanitationreflecting the current owner's commitment to a clean, high-quality experience for loyal guests.
