Humboldt hideaway is a small intimate SHARED territory with residents. The outdoor kitchen, deck with a view, and campfire bell are all connected to the main resident residence. There are places of seclusion, but much of it is shared outdoor space. Humboldt Hideaway is a small off-the-grid Gay queer land project in Northern California. It is set on 12 acres of hilly terrain in the mixed fir and oak woods of Humboldt County, a half-hour east of Arcata. Back in 2001, when it was established, it was undeveloped with nothing on it. It has since been built up with the scrappy efforts of amateur creative dreamers. It is a home and resource to extended LGBTQ+ communities by being a small-scale rural resource for education and sharing useful rural living skills and organism a destination for visits, artist and activist retreats, and host to miniature groups and events.
