Yellow Sulphur Springs

Yellow Sulphur Springs nestles in a magical hollow between Blacksburg and Christiansburg, Virginia, just seven minutes from Virginia Tech.

Yellow Sulphur Springs boasts a long history, having been an inn since the 1700s. The site contains an historic hotel dating from 1810 as well as several other historic structures. The Springs closed in 1923, and the buildings later housed itinerant workers.

Bernard Ross and Victoria Taylor purchased the property in 1997 to establish the Yellow Sulphur Springs Healing Spa.
