Summary: We stayed at 3 Otters for a family reunion and it was absolutely gorgeous. Located on the Potomac river, if you're looking for a getaway from everyday life and your 9 to 5, definitely look here. Several Yurts to sleep in, a wonderful linai, a grill patio, beautiful garden with vegetables to pick, vintage campers and a great grill patio with screens to protect against bugs. This huge property is great for gathering and at the same time offers many spots to simply "get away" from the group for those who are a little overwhelmed with large parties. Def recommend, 5 out of 5 stars!

Summary: Amazing place, perfect place for family reunion.

Summary: We had an incredibly memorable stay at 3 Otters for our family reunion. Rich was very responsive to questions and needs before and during our stay. While we had some rain, it did not dampen our experience:) 3 Otters is truly as described in the listing and allowed all of us to have a great weekend! There is variability in mattresses, so with older adults being flexible and finding a good spot for them to stay where they’re comfortable is helpful. We’ll equipped with cooking and baking supplies and you can’t beat the access to the river!

Summary: We had a 3-generation family reunion here - it was perfect. Each family unit had their own accommodations. The kitchen and grill pavilion were well-provisioned. The grounds are beautiful. There were many nice and thoughtful touches. Rich met us upon arrival and came around checkout to help us. There was a power outage after a big storm, and Rich called the utility company and brought us a backup generator. The river area is spectacular, and there were chairs, kayaks, and tubes enough for our large crew to play all day. We look forward to our next visit!

Summary: I can't even put into words how perfect this property is. Photos and descriptions will never do it the justice it deserves. We had a non-traditional bachelorette party for sister at Three Otters Eco Retreat. The only request my sister had before booking our trip was that she wanted to roll out of bed and float all day. This property provided that and so much more. We had a few people in our party that were a little worried when I mentioned camping/glamping. For some of our guests, it was their first time ever going to a retreat like this. We just wanted to make sure everyone felt comfortable. All of that worry went away the minute we arrived. We also had a few people that were worried about not having cell phone service. It actually worked out for the best. It was so nice to connect with your friends and family and look around and see that everyone is talking and no one is scrolling on their phones. The landline worked out perfectly for people to check in with their family at home and it was never an issue. The cabin was perfect for our older guests who wanted easy access to the bathroom. It was so clean and very well kept! Our favorite were the Yurts. They were huge and so comfortable. The luxury tents and vintage campers were also perfect! Our party only occupied the properties that lined the river. The other sleeping options looked awesome as well, but we did not need to use them. The indoor kitchen was amazing and had everything we needed! The outdoor pavilion was perfect for hanging out at night. The bath house was so clean and in perfect condition. If I were to give a recommendation to a potential visitor: If you are on the fence for booking this retreat, their website is very helpful and has a lot more photos (Google Three Otters Eco Resort) I have to also mention how wonderful Rich and Theresa were. They were incredibly kind and helpful throughout the entire process. I did as a lot of questions and I never felt I was never an annoyance. We can't wait to return one day! Such a perfect trip!

Summary: We had parents, children, grandchildren & great grandchildren stay at Three Otters. Everyone enjoyed the seclusion.... it was peaceful with a variety of places to sleep, great kitchen space, nice screened pavilion where we shared all our family meals & played games, a large open field where we played kick ball, capture the flag, corn hole, etc. The screened porch overlook was comfy to relax & read in, watch others in the water. The river water was a little high since there had been a lot of rain prior to our trip (and some on the weekend) making it a little challenging for the small ones to play in but we managed to tube down the river and get some kayaking in. A few of the guys enjoyed fishing even though only one caught any fish. The property was well maintained. The mulch on the walking paths between the trailers/tents & yurts were really nice especially with the rain/mud. The variety of sleeping accommodations were fun too. My favorite was the yurts!! The bathrooms were nice & clean and easily accommodated our entire family (35 +). The final stretch of road & gravel after leaving the Berkley Springs area required careful driving on the winding roads but worth the trip. The owners Rich & Teresa were very nice. They answered questions promptly prior to the trip and were there to greet us. I would highly recommend this place for some outdoor fun with family & friends!!

Summary: Areas like 3 Otters are rare. No technology area promotes the enjoyment of natutr and each other against the backdeop of scenic beauty and total silence. The hosts were excellent to work with.
Karri A. Dec 24, 2018 01:09:44 PM
Summary: Everything about our weekend at Three Otters was wonderful - the place is beautiful and thoughtfully designed, it has everything you need to relax or try new adventures, and the owners and staff were a delight. With a group of around 25 friends and family, everyone loved the housing options, found plenty to do, and left refreshed. We can't wait to return!

Summary: Our sorority came up for Labor Day weekend for our sisterhood retreat. The goal was relaxation and bonding, and this was surpassed! Three Otters is BEAUTIFUL & so peaceful. Love the location right along the river, and it provided us with tubes, canoeing, etc. The kitchen and pavilion were perfect places for our group of 20 to meet, eat, and socialize together. The yurts were my absolute favorite lodging option!! And the owners are so incredibly nice, helpful, and welcoming. Highly recommend!!!
