Changes at a Jucumba Hot Springs resort are upsetting some of the people who live there. DeAnza Springs has long been known as a place for nudists.
But, as of October 30, clothing is now required in all areas of the 500-acre resort. It's a new rule imposed by new owners.
Luke Wasyliw, his wife, and their partner purchased Deanza Springs two and a half years ago. “We want to open it up to more and more people,” said Wasyliw.
They saw it as a real estate investment designed for future growth.
"I come from a real estate background, so part of it was always, hey, this place is only 30-35% occupancy, there's so much upside potential for it,” said Wasyliw.
Located one hour east of San Diego, Wasyliw describes the resort as special and unique, saying he envisions it being a destination for weddings, festivals and weekend getaways.
He also sees it as a good option for people to move to, given the high cost of living in other parts of the county.
But, he says attracting more people meant making some changes.
Among them - requiring clothes.
