Quinn’s Hot Springs Resort
190 Hwy 135, Paradise, Montan
When you step into Quinn’s Hot Springs Resort and you’re entering a story that started way back in 1885. This scenic retreat tucked in the aptly named town of Paradise got its start thanks to Martin Quinn, an Irish immigrant and miner who happened to notice bands of Native Americans gathering near a steamy mountainside outcrop. Inspired by what he saw, he built bathhouses, a residence, sleeping quarters, and just like that, a destination was born. The hot springs were believed to ease rheumatism, intestinal issues, and even help the body recover from alcohol, tobacco, and mining toxins. Martin became so trusted in his new role that people began calling him “Dr. Quinn.”
More than a century later, Quinn’s still carries that legacy of healing and hospitality, offering guests a place to relax, unwind, and soak in Montana’s natural magic. Whether you're lounging poolside in a fluffy robe or sipping wine at dinner, it’s the kind of place where time slows down and comfort takes the lead.
While the mineral water is undoubtedly the main attraction, the resort is equally proud of something else, their staff. Guests often rave about the exceptional service, calling out staff by name in their reviews. Whether it’s a warm welcome at the front desk, a friendly chat at the gift shop, or helpful service in the tavern or restaurant, the team at Quinn’s is known for going above and beyond. It’s Montana-style hospitality, and it’s one of the reasons guests keep coming back.

The atmosphere here is equal parts fun and relaxing. Robes are practically the unofficial uniform of the resort, as guests drift from soaking to resting in their cabins, then back to the pools again. Whether you’re traveling with friends, escaping for a romantic weekend, or looking to recharge solo, Quinn’s offers an experience centered around well-being and easygoing luxury.
And when it comes to accolades, Quinn’s has been collecting them. For the last three years running, the resort has been voted a winner in Distinctly Montana’s Best of Montana competition across several categories. In July, it landed a spot on the USA TODAY 10 Best Reader’s Choice Awards list for Best Hot Springs. Their Harwood House Restaurant has also earned numerous Wine Spectator awards, thanks to a thoughtfully curated wine list that complements their delicious menu.
Still, ask anyone what keeps people coming back, and it’s the water. The natural mineral-rich hot springs have been the heart of the resort since day one. Guests soak for relaxation, recovery, or just because it feels really, good. There’s something special about the way the water restores you, and that’s exactly what keeps Quinn’s top of mind for so many repeat visitors.
Quinn’s is also deeply rooted in its community. The resort regularly supports local fundraisers, sponsors youth clubs and events, and stays involved throughout the year. Giving back is part of the mission, just like it was in Martin Quinn’s day.
When a guest says it’s their favorite place to be, the team at Quinn’s knows they’re doing something right. Because Quinn’s Hot Springs isn’t just a place to soak; it’s a place where history lives on, hospitality shines, and relaxation runs deep.
