Tucked away in a creekside valley this historic resort has been frequented by people for the healing waters since the mid 1800s. Before that, the indigenous people used these Springs for thousands of years. Anyone know the Pomona name for these sorings? Tranquil and Magical, it has been one of my favorite hangouts for over four decades.Reservations only. Call first.

Spent a magical birthday here.What a beautiful, serene place. Lots of friendly people and rejuvenating tub time.I was here early in the week and was told it can get kinda crowded on the weekends.The yurt was lovely, quiet and secluded. Curious to try the campsites once it gets warmer.Staff was warm and welcoming - they let me use some tools to break into my car after I accidentally locked my keys inside upon a very excited arrival!Thank you for a lovely time and many more to come.p.s. Montgomery Woods is a nice stop just up along the road. Gentle trails and beautiful trees.

Let me start by saying this is not a bad review of the place. But it is a bad review of the lack of communication I received while trying to stay here. I called this place back in March knowing full well the uncertainty of Covid and what that might do. I spoke to a friendly woman who went as far as booking me into a specific room for one night on a Thursday. I was told I would be called the closer it got to my arrival date (mid-Sept) to take payment given the uncertainty of Covid. I hadnt heard anything from them at all and decided to email them yesterday to see if I could pay for my reservation. Was told at that point that they completely changed the reservation policy and no longer would honor my stay as the minimum stay changed to three nights and they would only allow overnights on the weekend. This is extremely aggravating as this was a highlight of our week long trip to the area and everything else was scheduled and booked around it! I explained the situation and tried to give them a chance to make the situation right and they wouldnt do that. They didnt even apologize for not honoring my stay or not contacting me to inform me of the changes. I found out they opened again in the beginning of July! But no follow up call or email in that entire time! I wish no ill will of this place, but I would have expected at least a sincere apology for not contacting me and forcing me to have to find lodging at the last minute and ruining a night for my wifes b-day that we have been looking forward to for months!

Ive been here 5 times in the last 20 years. It is small, slightly primitive, and absolutely wonderful. And dont miss the Redwood Reserve 5 minutes down the road.

A center for healing and meditation. I love the vibe here. Ive had a tent spot here, done the big cabins, done the day trip... however you get into Orr its worth it.

Its been 30 years since I stayed here. I used to come up from Silicon Valley for an occasional weekend. I would camp out, and do a work exchange. I would do things like clean cabins, weed the garden, and haul wood.Looking over the website, it looks like theyve made a lot of changes. I would love to visit someday, when I can return to California.

Beautiful oasis of tranquility in the lush Mendocino forests. Lovely drive there too. Amazing setting and very welcoming staff. The concept of bring and cook your own food was a bit odd though - almost like a hostel.

Orr Hotsprings is a hidden treasure in the not so distant woods. The relaxed atmosphere, amazing accommodations, and healing waters keep me coming back. Whether you want to be social or reclusive, these springs have exactly what you need.

Serene and peaceful! Some parents do bring their kids :/ but nonetheless its quite and full of fruit trees surrounding the vicinity.

So worth the drive. I drove all the way from Alberta, Canada and am glad I didnt miss visiting Orr. Very nice quiet atmosphere. The Kitchen! Go and youll know. Great garden also in addition to the tubs, swimming. I enjoyed hot tubbing under the stars in the middle of the night.

Love ORR Hot Springs! They have cabins,places to pitch your tent and yurts. No internet, no TV very calm,Zen atmosphere , friendly informative staff and very clean. Bring your own food and cook up an amazing meal in there huge kitchen equipped with everything you will ever need. After dinner play the upright piano,acoustic guitars in the dinning area or board games in the game room or relax in one of the many Hot Springs here. For a relaxing romantic evening go to the top deck and relax while soaking in there star gazing claw tubs filled with Natural Hot Springs as you gaze upon shooting stars on a clear night.

Cool place, nice folks that run it. We camped in a tent which is fine but the lot we picked was smaller and on he side of a hill so stay away from site no.3. (Disclaimer - lots of nudity. If this makes you uncomfortable do not go.) Next time we will get a cabin or one of the other sites.

Would love to go back again! Great place and friendly feeling. Hot spring and Sunna very good.

I love this Hot spring resort.. Been maybe 5- 6 times its always clean and relaxing..

Camped in camping spot three for one night. The springs were beautiful and relaxing. No cell service, so be ready to disconnect for your stay and be present in the beauty of the place. Amazing communal kitchen to cook meals, culinary herbs avalible to be used growing in the garden and lovely dining area. The springs are clean and well maintained. The saunas are beautiful. This is a must visit location and the staff are amazing people. Will visit again.

Amazing place! Need to get back there

Wonderfully warm tubs, quiet atmosphere, amazing kitchen, and cozy rooms. I also recommend checking out Montgomery woods while youre there!

Pros- Incredible canyon location with trees and well kept gardens.Shared kitchen and relaxing rooms. Good feeling hot springs. Clean well designed spa area.Cons- there is not a HOT pool. Car camping is small and more like a parking spot.

I used to go there as a young adult probably 40 years ago. The new owners have modernized it which I’m not so happy about. I haven’t been since the new tubs were added but all in all it’s a beautiful area beautiful place and I’d love to go again sometime in the future.

Love is how i would describe this place. A unique experience nestled directly over a river and about a mile hike away from Montgomery state reserve and some majestic redwoods. Orr hot springs offers public and private soaking options with clawfoot tubs or communal soaks with hot, warm or choose your adventure temperatures. Steam room, Sauna and star gazing tubs are very relaxing. A full communal kitchen and dinning area, you pack it in you pack it out. This springs is located gracefully off of the beaten path so come prepared and Enjoyo

A feeling of appreciation for the hot bath that must have been one of the cornerstones of civilization can be realized at this beautifully maintained old resort.

Super relaxed clothing optional hot springs out in the middle of the woods. Great for a romantic weekend getaway. Hot, cold springs, sauna and steam room all available. Outdoor and private tubs both available. No food on site, but a huge communal kitchen for all to share.

No better way to spend a birthday than soaking in the tubs under the stars at Orr. Thanks for a great relaxing time, as always!

Incredibly beautiful. An oasis of peace and serenity!

Beautiful onsen inspired space in the mountains! Very overpriced for the rooms considering you have to haul your own luggage up the hill.

Aside from the road in....its amazing. Has a wonderful relaxing enviornment to unplug from the modern world woes. No cell phones or computers to distract from Being in the Moment , just Breathe!!!

The only reason it doesnt get a 5star is there can always be improvement. It was last year when we went. The night watchman was quite rude and not very personable. I have a service dog which they would not allow me to leave in the room alone. Of course I was NOT going to bring her in the sauna with me so I had her tied outside the door. Because she was unable to check on me, she barked disturbing other guests. Had she been allowed to stay in the room by herself she would have known she was off duty and just gone to sleep.The bathrooms were quite cold and could have definitely used a heater. Other than that, the place is beautiful and relaxing.

Beautiful grounds and friendly service. Awesome pools and tubs

This place was a real surprise treat. It had a few more amenities than other hot springs in the vicinity, such as power outlets and climate control in the guest rooms! The staff was really wonderful, and the hot springs were soothing.

Super moms night outLovely facility

One of my favorite retreats. Remote and rustic.

One of my favorite places in the world. Have been here multiple times over the years to soak in their hot tubs, swim in their pool and camp in their grounds.

I love Orr Springs! Orr is a pocket of peace, away from the mundane world. The people who work there are sweet, the people who visit are wonderful. The spirit of Orr is like being in Mothers arms. Go to Orr Springs, and leave the world behind. Turn off the TV, turn off the cell phone, and find a special healing serenity at Orr Springs!

Love the water. Reservations only, even for day use. Theres a limit on how many guests they let in per day, so it is a very peaceful and uncrowded place, even on a Sunday. I wish they would make it easier to unload the car especially for someone with physical limitations.

Love the water for sure, 5stars for the water and 3 stars for the rooms, they are mediocre for the price, camp youll feel better about your money spent.

Very relaxing, therapeutic, communal, and respectful experience

Because they make you loved!

Absolutely wonderful. Very peaceful. Hard to get to though with bad roads.

My friends and I drove up here from SF for a wonderful retreat weekend. The facilities are fantastic, with multiple warm and cold pools, claw foot tubs, a sauna, and a steam room.A few tips:1. Bring a bathrobe!2. They have plenty of cooking / baking equipment (pots, pans, etc)3. Make sure you bring spices and all your food! The only spices we could find were salt and pepper.4. If youre looking for a day hike check out Montgomery Woods, it is only about a mile down the road.5. Try to do the drive up there or back during daylight hours, it is beautiful!

This place is a dream. Deep in the redwoods, out of cell phone range. They limit how many people can stay over and come for day use so its never too crowded. Cooking in the communal kitchen can be hectic at peak hours but everyones good natured and it works out one way or another.Soaking in the hot tubs under the stars and sweating it out in the steam room just feel so good. Facilities are super well maintained and clean. It feels like freedom.

Peaceful, naked, sulfury, hot, perfect.

I was a bit disappointed by these Mineral Springs... We were super hyped up about our visit and were expecting them to be more diverse, more zen, cozier and more intimate... There were only two (super tiny) hot pools right next to each other to enjoy, which were shared, plus a steam bath and a sauna. The large cold swimming pool was not accessible at the time of our visit, and a third hot pool the size of a home jacuzzi tub was filled each time by only one person sitting/laying in it. We did enjoy the communal kitchen afterwards and made our own meal.

Serene, relaxing atmosphere with complete distancing from the world. No internet, wifi, or television services are provided on the premises. Hot sulphur baths make your skin softer than a babys... great place to unwind and recharge. Montgomery Redwood grove is in a few miles for walking, easy hiking, and enjoying fantastic trees. Reservation is required to enjoy the healing waters.

Orr is amazing. They limit how many people can enjoy their springs, so its not crowded, but you must reserve in advance, even for a day pass. Amazing water, great kitchen.

If youre looking for a relaxing atmosphere, natural setting, friendly staff, and patrons who are willing to engage and chat as well as give you personal space this is the place for you. I went camping (tent) here and found it great. The Hot Springs are a perfect temperature and purely relaxing... not as bad a sulfur smell as I expected. The communal kitchen is industrial and offers everything you would need… Except for a sharp knife. Do come if you like no clothing Hot Springs in the outdoors.

A quiet retreat experience. Bring your own food! A rustic, relaxing, clothes optional place

A little slice of heaven. This is my happy place.

This place is magic.Also your phone doesnt work here so if you go on a hike in the woods with randos, your spouse might be worried.Source: personal experience. Oops.

This place is zen magic. You have to book a few weeks in advanced and is well worth the investment. The staff at Orr Hot Springs is super helpful, friendly, and excited to share with you. My partner and I traveled there on a Thursday afternoon, the patrons were minimal, quiet, and respectful. It is a mixture of old energy in a modern world. No WIFI, which was welcomed.We camped in lot #6. Recommended if you want minimal traffic walking by your tent. It is the only lot on the other side of the creek, that runs through the property.All the pools, tubs, were up to temperature and ready for use. My personal favorite was the cold pool at 62 degrees and contrasting back and forth.A fantastic retreat outside of Ukiah. Much appreciated to have had the opportunity to experience Orr Hot Springs.

Amazing place. Campsites 1-3 have a raised platform which is nice. The pool gets a lot of sun during the day.

What a gem! Being at Orr felt like hanging out at someones house or on their land....albeit with sulphur springs and sans-clothes. The communal kitchen has lots of great utensils -- electric beaters, blender, coffee makers up the wazoo -- and you can cook meat and bring alcohol (unlike Harbin). The lodge is cozy and filled with the few other folks that are staying there, instruments and games, two cats, a fireplace, and comfortable couches. If youre lucky enough to be there when Sid is working, youll hopefully get to hear the beautiful music coming off his guitar. The rooms are simple, clean and warm. The pools are all shallow, and range from pretty hot to pretty cold (none as extreme as Harbin). The steam room is steamy. The grounds are beautiful. Apparently theres hiking nearby, off the property -- the person at the desk can direct you there. It never feels crowded -- which means you should book it right now!

This is the best place for total relaxation! Beautiful surroundings, friendly helpful staff, and everything you need to just soak and relax. My favorite Hot Springs by far!

A bit of a drive out but the drive is spectacular. I would recommend just going for the day 30 bucks. Camping is 70 dollars each and up. Plan ahead they have a very nice kitchen. Call ahead tk see whats up

Wonderful hot springs! We didnt stay at the resort - just got a day pass for the pools. Very enjoyable, very relaxing.

Terrible. They booked our reservation, then, after we already loaded up and headed south, canceled it for having three children. Their own policy page states they allow three children in one place and no more than two in another place. Not family friendly and feels a bit ageist. Our kids are quiet, respectful and have been in hot spring environments before. Terribly disappointed.

Great place to relax and unplug. Nearby redwood Grove is a good short hike or trail run. Rooms arent the fanciest but you spend most of your time in the pools. A few rough patches on the winding road to get there.

I definitely wouldnt return or recommend this place. The staff (and most of the guests) were snarky and the energy was tense. Especially in the common areas. Not what I had expected considering we were in the middle of nature, disconnected from the real world. The hot spring baths were tiny and seating was very limited. Not to mention, all of the bathing areas were filthy. If you want a beautiful hot springs experience, in a warm and peaceful environment, I would recommend Esalen in Big Sur.

Excellent. It is a sanctuary. Amazing steam room. LOVED the well maintained gardens and all the butterflies!! Also hiked the Montgomery Reserve Trail in the morning. One word of warning, drive careful on the little winding road.

Nice, clean and relaxing

Great for a day soak, awful to camp. 7am to 10am they run insanely loud cleaning equipment, and have no cares for how it effects their patrons. Rude as could be, and no apologies. 115$ to camp, and not a chance of sleeping past seven. Would give a 1, but their facilities are nice, and cabin rentals are apparently quieter

I always enjoy Orr. Grace & I have been visiting for some 15 years, perhaps once or twice a year. Weve been in summer, spring, late fall and winter & we always enjoy it. This past time with snow on the ground and some pipes frozen was delightful...My troubles seem to get lost in the many turns up Orr Springs Road, and I find time for reflection, rest and often an excellent massage. I love the flowers in spring and summer. The community kitchen is fun and the dining room can get kind of lively on the weekends, but theres always the private tubs for quiet.

Relaxing, beautiful, rustic, warm water surrounded by magnificent trees.

Great place to slow down and recharge with beautiful gardens, nice clean spring fed tubs and large well stocked communal kitchen

Oh so good. Its a really pretty, cozy space with nice gardens and a great hot cold plunge. And there are always lots of friendly faces and energies here. While youre here dont miss out on a great hike in the redwoods down the road at Montgomery state park.

Love this place. Replenish the soul.

Absolutely terrific ! The service was kind and efficient, the place is clean and very quiet, and the facilities are all in good shapeIts very expensive though so I wouldnt be able to afford it if it hadnt been for the music trade off they offer- an hour and a half show in the dining room at dinner time- flamenco guitar in my case- but this is just to say that you can encounter yourself dining to some good chilled musical performance.I very much appreciated the good safe space policy and atmosphere regarding behavior in the clothing optional area

Pretty nice overall... there was some suprising overt sexual activity going on, I am used to places where all touching is pretty much prohibited, here it seems you are only prohibited against touching people you dont know.

My boyfriend and I stopped by with another couple this last weekend. Although the day use was already full, the staff was so helpful and kind. They answered all of our questions and let us walk around and check the place out. We will be back to soak next time!

Orr hot springs is a very relaxing place with great emplyees. There are hot springs, a cold pool and cabins available.

Had an amazing time. Grounds are beautiful. Only complaint is the hot sauna wasnt very hot and the male overnight guy (name began w/J) was not very hospitable.

Oh, absolutely the best in the area of NorCal. Much more peaceful and sophisticated than Harbin (too many scenes). Love this place and always looking to spare some time to visit regularly. Great kitchen and dining area, clean and well mannered!

I went here last year with my boyfriend and honestly it was beyond both of our expectations! The kitchen was amazing and had everything we needed to cook for ourselves. The only thing I would have changed was I would have brought more tastey food to cook.The option for private tubs was really nice too. Also the fact that everything was so open and aware of the natural environment around us made it amazing and so peaceful. It was everything my boyfriend and I could hope for as a renewing vacation stop.

Amazing experience. Super friendly staff. Will return and recommend.

This place is the BEST!!!

Love this place!!

The water was amazing as was the grounds and accommodations. HOWEVER The staff (and some guests) attitudes were quite unpleasant. In the communal kitchen I felt like I was breaking some unwritten rules. Being a novice hot springer I felt lost and a bit intimidated. The cabins were cute and the couple staying next to us friendly. Overall though, Inviting and welcoming are not adjectives I would use. The deal breaker for the stay was the loss of my 4 month old galaxy tab I accidentally left in my room. I called and emailed within 4 hours of leaving and got no return call or email. Not ever. Thats hardly good karma for whoever found and did not return what was not theirs. Shame on you phony new age hippie types. SHAME ON YOU. Water was awesome though, Cant knock that!

Secluded, quiet, and sulfurous, Orr Springs has tubs for an individual private soak, and communal, clothing-optional pools with the hottest water, as well as an unheated swimming pool. Steam and dry saunas help to mix up the ways your body can relax. A community kitchen and dining area offer a place to get fed, complete with frequent local musicians that pass through. Private cabins are available for those not just looking for a day-pass to the springs.

So refreshing, love the cooling pool

Beautiful and restorative. Bring your food and enjoy the professional kitchen!

Nice and shanty place

The chillest of the chill, even though the water is 106 degrees. Remarkable place in nature. No photos though - verboten in clothing optional spots.

Welcoming staff, very comfortable community they create.

This place is amazing , so peaceful and restorative! The yurts are the way to go

Wonderful place

This place is a joke.. The cold pool is stagnating and the water is green. You are NOT allowed to play music at any level in your cabin and the people that patronize the place are little cupcakes that cry to management if you talk too loud or if they think you are intruding on their space. NEVER GO HERE. We were there for less than two hours with a cottage rental and checked out without staying the night and demanded a full refund because of their feelings where getting hurt from music from my iPad. The Child at the front desk was demanding and rude telling me that NO MUSIC WAS ALLOWED.BULLSQUAT... If I am going to relax I want to listen to music.. We checked out and demanded a refund.. Not to mention the garbage cans in the room where full and they stank like a dead cat..

Really beautiful place, can’t beat the price!

Resort includes outdoor pools and campgrounds. Campground prices are a little high but very scenic.

Arrived there on our honeymoon, quiet, peaceful, healing, love inspiring, wonderful guests and employees, we woke at 4AM and watched shooting stars from the hot spring pool (which is concrete like most hot springs in california)I really enjoyed the large cold pool, sauna and steam was good but needed more steam..at night we cooked healthy vegetarian food and drank wine and enjoyed 420 things (at designated smoking area only)We are going back very soon

Almost always perfect experience!! I love this little gem.

As free from stress as one can get! Such a beautiful peaceful place of utter tranquility!

Best place to relax in Mendocino.

Beautiful. This place was amazing.

Love this place love this place peaceful quiet it’s awesome

Wet steamroom is very nice

Perfect place to relax and be more open minded!

Me and tree other friends had our coats, jackets and small blankets stolen from our car parked on their parking lot. Not a safe place and the attendance very unkind.

Top 10 in the world. simply simple and fun

I reccomend reservations,..always booked for all the right reasons.

AAAAA++++ and some more AAAA+++ Than You :)

I like the environment here, hot springs is the best！
