Description

OTTER SPACE CONFERENCE CENTER & RETREAT is a rare find in Humboldt County, hidden away on the banks of the wild Klamath River. Your blissful retreat spreads across 38 peaceful acres, with cabins, camp sites, yurts and a bathhouse. Dreams do come true! Created as a sustainable retreat center, you traverse a mountain road through a redwood forest and over a mountain, down into the Klamath River valley. Sustainable living is your way of life here, with a fully off the grid life supported by a spring fed water system, solar power, propane, and wood stoves. There is room for a crowd, or space for solitude. The charming MAIN HOUSE with 2 bedrooms, and a huge screened dining hall greets you. The BARN has a two-bedrooms with a balcony, above, and the ground floor is a workshop with tool storage. The nearby BLUE and PUMPKIN COTTAGES, with lofts, wood stoves, and kitchenettes, have a double YELLOW BATH HOUSE tucked between them. Wander down to the five-acre MEADOW to pick your breakfast from an organic, fifty-tree ORCHARD bursting with apples, peaches, pears, cherries, plums, persimmons, apricots, and grapes. Your land extends across the river. Swim, fish, kayak, or just laze on the wide pebble beach, as the river sparkles in the sun. The winterized log cabin LODGE, with high ceilings, and wraparound wide covered porches sits in a garden overlooking the river, with a large workshop behind it. The soulful hideaway two-story, 30-foot RIVERVIEW YURT perches above the river on a 50 x 50-foot deck, where the river lulls you to sleep at night. The shower and bathhouse on the deck offer a picture window view of the river. Down the spiral staircase there's a large full kitchen with room for dining and living. You also have the option of continuing a thriving summer business, hosting Hip Camp and Air B&B visitors who come to see the redwoods, pick wild blackberries and swim in the river. They can stay in one of your buildings, or camp in one of your five campsites. Maple and Grotto River camps overlook the river, while Morning Meadow, Deer Meadow and Orchard Meadow camps are close to the meadow, where black tail deer graze in the evenings. Each site has a picnic table and a fire pit. There's also a Camp Shower and two Outhouses. A Boat and Tractor Shed, a large Wood Shed and a small Red Casita for storage, round out the amenities. While you're nestled here among the mountains, the nearest small town, Orick, is an hour's drive away. It's wild and beautiful. The water flows freely out of the mountain. The wild and beautiful Northern California coast is calling you!
