The overlook deck spans 60 feet and provides stunning views of the Potomac and a quiet screen room with fans and lights where you can read or rest. Best of all, we have a clean bathhouse with 4 full, private baths. Finally, Three Otters has a level two-acre field for ball games and stargazing and a large organic garden so you can enjoy fresh produce.
