Epicurean Eco Lodge

Imagine...

A stunning, secluded, 243 acre nature preserve where you can enjoy a bespoke epicurean experience, unencumbered by the restrictions or distractions of the outside world.

Imagine...

Awaking in the luxurious comfort of your sumptuously appointed private cabin as the rays of the morning’s first light cascade through the forest canopy.  

Imagine...

Being immersed in the temperate rainforests of California’s Northern Coast as you explore trails, creeks, and waterfalls.  

Imagine...

Your very own private chef crafting all of your meals from 100% organic, locally sourced, and seasonally fresh gustatory delights.

Imagine...

Dipping into the emerald waters of our Salmon Creek swimming hole and then relaxing in the sun on our private beach… or perhaps enjoying a seasonal cold plunge and retreating to our 12 person, cedar lined sauna to recharge your soul.

Imagine...

A uniquely memorable adventure that has been personally tailored to fulfill your dreams, desires, and budget.

"I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived."

- Henry David Thoreau

There truly is no place like it on Earth!​

Located on 243 private acres in the legendary Salmon Creek area of Southern Humboldt County and once the home of world renowned Qigong Master Dr. Jwing-Ming Yang, the Ho Kepos property was specifically selected based on its distinctive geographical and meta-physical qualities including:  North – South orientation, creeks on both the North and South borders, proximity to Bear Butte (a dormant, yet thermally active volcano), the peak of the property is encircled by higher peaks on all sides creating an “energy sink”.

The location and placement of each of the outbuildings were mindfully and expertly executed by Dr. Yang to further harness and enhance the abundantly occurring natural “Chi” of the property according to the principles of Feng Shui.

Ho Kepos features a total of SIX private cabins in addition to FOUR private bedrooms in the “Feng Shui” Round House, providing comfortable lodging for groups of up to twenty (20) guests.

Rave Reviews for Ho Kepos!

"This was honestly the most memorable three days of my life. The magical energy of this place is beyond words!"
Hannah H.
Ho Kepos guest
"I'm not usually one for hyperbole, but I can't resist applying it here because it's genuinely accurate. After approximately 10 years immersed in brewing, beer, and even some cannabis drinks, that experience was by far the coolest professional learning event I've ever participated in. I suspect it will hold that title for quite some time. Thank you once again for your wonderful hospitality, outstanding programming, and fantastic content last week. I believe I speak for the entire group when I say that it had a profound impact on us, and it's an experience we'll carry with us throughout our careers."

I can confidently say that the sentiment is echoed amongst our group at large, and on behalf of all of us, we want to say THANKS."
