Vichy Springs Resort

Reviewed By travuptop

Went with a friend because was interested in the springs. What a great place. Hiked to the falls. Just a trickle in this dry year- but gorgeous area. You can hear wildlife in the trees. Vichy water is great. Felt safe in this world of Covid. The person who greeted us- Gayla- what a wonderful person. Knows the ins and outs of the place. And very helpful in helping schlep everything to the cottage. Thanks for having a great place and great people
