Orr Hot Springs Resort

“Super unique and special place to go when you need a reset. Photos will never quite do it justice with how the place is truly built into the landscape along the waterway. Had a fantastic experience with the massage services and the facility as a whole. For folks looking for a resort experience where you’re being waited on hand and foot, this isn’t that. However, if you’re willing to pack in some food and do a little prep on the front end, this place is truly perfect for decompressing and disconnecting.”

“Great surroundings! Nice and quiet. We walked Montgomery woods trail, very magical! Nice soaking pools but they were a little inconsistent. One day 99 at the hotest pool and 105 the next?? The soaking pools could definitely be bigger to accommodate the amout of people they allow each day. The individual tubs dhould be hotter as well. They could add another soaking pool to keep the pools less crowded. Mornings were the best times to enjoy the pools without crowds. Overall it was a great experience.”

“I’ve just returned from the 2.5 hour drive from Oakland to Orr for the second time. This place is pure magic! They offer all kinds of accommodations including camping platforms, yurts, cabins, and the creek house cottage. I prefer the cabins because they come with a private bathroom, kitchen, dining room, and bedroom; perfect after a long soak in the hot springs and you want the comforts of home while in a rustic environment. Not having service or WiFi is a huge plus because it’s truly a nervous system reset not being distracted by notifications or the urge to doom scroll social media. The other attractive features include preparing your own meals. I love to cook and having fun making comfort food and eating outside with other guest is a great way to decompress and do people things like talk about the weather and share stories of past adventures. The community kitchen has tools not found in the cabins so check it out, preparing ingredients on the large counters then cooking in the cabin is a fun way to hybrid your experience. I recommend driving down the way and walking the trails of Montgomery Woods. It’s an extremely quiet place and has the most prehistoric feel and breathtaking perspectives of ancient redwood trees far from the ocean (it’s unique, look it up) that survived a fire with the scars to prove it. The plaques throughout the forest will inform you of its history and the people who influenced its preservation. After a good long hike around the forest, the bathhouse is the best next destination. Disrobe to your comfort level (it’s clothing optional), rinse off at the communal showers, then step into one of the many pools or amenities. The hottest pool has the water fall and is closest to the showers, the second pool is cooler for those who need to gradually enter hot water or cool off from the hot pool. The swimming pool is cooler and refreshing. The single pool connected to it is comfortable and warm. The steam room and dry sauna are in the back and have special hours, are clean, and well maintained. The personal tubs scattered around the bathhouse are nice and hot, perfect for night time soaks. NOTE: you can soak alllll night if your choose. They close the doors from 10am to 12pm everyday so a 3:14am soak isn’t unheard of. The view of the starts at night is breathtaking, especially in a mineral hot spring personal tub on the observation deck. I count the satellites and shooting stars I can see when I’m soaking and you should give it the old try too. Overall, this is a true natural gem”

“Lovely get away to relax. Family owned and extremely comfortable you won't want to leave so plan to stay a couple of days. They do have an all day pass for $50 per person 12pm to 9pm.”

“Magical experience. 4 night, 3 day stay in Room 12 (twin bed for a single guest). Highly recommend for solo guests wanting creature comfort. The room was cozy, cool, and super comfortable. Loved the proximity to the bathhouse and the creek — falling asleep to the gentle flow of the creek was a highlight of the trip. The grounds, greenery, tubs and pools, and kitchen are tended with care. The office hosts, Jaimie and Syd, are lovely and helpful. Couldn’t have asked for a more joyful experience.”

“We appreciated the deep relaxing sleep we got both nights. The sauna and Hot springs were wonderful.”

“This place grew on us over the two days. The check in isn’t the best experience to leave a good first impression. It was a bit too military style; the not so warm lady sits you down and reels off in rapid pace a long spiel of what’s what with rules of which we remembered nada and were a little scared to ask for a repetition. The setting really is beautiful and the most attractive part. It’s surrounded by redwoods and has a lovely trail a mile up the road. The cottages are basic but the beds are comfy and we liked having our own toilet. We were not so in love with the communal kitchen, it was too small (if you have been to Wilbur this kitchen pales in comparison). I guess the thing that frustrated us the most was that the baths are closed for cleaning at 10am-12, Especially since on check out day you have to be out by noon. I love that there are no electronics and no one is on their phones , but found it a little much when the lady said no kindles at the pools when it’s just reading. We did love the single bath experience and found it very private and relaxing before bed. We wished the bigger pool was the more heated one as the other two pools that were hot could get kinda cramped. All in all we would go back, maybe the lady will be a little more mellow.”
