The present site of the Mount Princeton Hot Springs Resort is close to the site where a freight depot, hotel and way station were built in 1860. There structures were built to serve freight passengers going to Aspen and Ashcroft mines as well as to Gunnison Country. It took a total of four years to get a three story hotel constructed for the Mary Murphy Mine which never had any paying customers.

Carlsbad Hot Springs Corporation purchased the hotel in 1913 and still never having had a paying guest the facility was sold again during 1915. There was a fourth floor and towers that went over one hundred feet into the sky added onto the hotel and it began to receive guests. The prosperity of the hotel ended after the mine closed during 1924 and the railroad tracks were taken up during 1926. The hotel was dismantled by John Crowe during 1950.

Dennis Osborn built a new pool in addition to a recreational building and twenty room hotel on the property during 1960. The dining room and lower lodge were built during 1965 and the facility continues to give guests an amazing experience.
