YEAR ROUND RATES
One of the first things you notice when arriving at Chena is the plume of steam rising from the outdoor natural adult (ages 18+) rock lake and the smell of sulfur. Our outdoor hot springs rock lake is truly natural in every sense of the word including the earthy smell of sulfur which is normal in most hot springs around the world. Chena calls it the "smell of money" because without the hot springs or its accompanying sulfur smell we wouldn't be in business. Some days you may find the sulfur smell stronger than others depending on the wind. In our guest rooms, you will also notice the sulfur smell when using the shower or sink. The water goes through a water softener system but the minerals in the water remain and the water is safe for drinking.
