Mountain Valley Retreat

History

Mountain Valley Retreat is the realization of my vision of a safe haven for travelers and hikers on the Pacific Crest Trail. I am a manual therapist and a yoga instructor for twenty years. In my quest to keep accommodations simple and affordable as well as close to nature, my Guests stay in Lakota style tipis which are beautifully furnished as bedrooms and sitting spaces. The Common House has a shower room, toilets, kitchenette, laundry, writing desk and sitting area shared by all Guests. The grounds are landscaping co-creatively with Nature and include hammocks under the live oaks, gardens, decks and patios. Two yurts create unique spaces for classrooms and an indoor Watsu Therapy Pool. Mountain Valley Retreat is a place to retreat from ordinary life and take the time and the space to release tension as you breathe cool mountain air, gaze at a star filled sky, feel the breeze, drink pristine, alkaline well water from deep in the earth and let yourself heal.
