Fantastic cabin in a fantastic place

We thoroughly enjoyed the trip. The accommodations were perfect, and the owners were lovely people. There is plenty of hiking nearby, and it is a 40 minute drive to historic Nevada City. Yuba River is full of swimming holes, which are the perfect respite on a hot summer day. We were told that the cabins are open through the winter, so we are thinking of returning in the fall. Already looking forward to it!

Peaceful Tranquility

Adam, the host was very friendly & responsive. The property is off the grid & off the beaten path, but if you take the time to walk around on the trails, it is beautiful & peaceful. We happened be there on a rainy weekend, so we were able to unwind by the wood stove & read a good book. The cabin we were in could have used some spring cleaning. We spent some time in the first hour sweeping & cleaning surfaces, but we like it clean, even though we love to camp. Some may not care. Overall, it was lovely & we enjoyed the beautiful meadows.

A Hidden Gem!

This is truly a beautiful property! The forest and hiking are so majestic. It's very peaceful and quiet. It's a great place for meditation, reading, yoga and just being amongst those beautiful trees. I stayed for two weeks working on a book and it was just perfect. It's really glamping at its best. All the cabins are really sweet. The fires are perfect for the winter. I would describe the owner as acentric with a huge heart. I am definitely coming back here again.

Lovely place but very dirty

It's a nice rustic cabin in a great location and I did enjoy my stay here but I was very disappointed with how dirty everything was. We had to spend about an hour wiping the dirt and ash off all the tables, chairs, and counters, washing dishes that had mouse droppings in them, sweeping the floors, etc. The guest shower was also quite dingy. The water dispenser inside the cabin must not have been washed in years and was full of scum and mold which was coming out in the water. We had to take the jug out and scrub down the inside. At least it's clean now, so... enjoy! The decor of the cabin seems like an afterthought and the lighting is harsh with bare light bulbs all around. The bed was also not very comfortable. So much about this place is great, I just ended up feeling that the nightly price or cleaning fee should be significantly lower since the cabin is a lot cleaner now than when we arrived and there's a lot of room for improvement in general.

Longing to return to this beautiful space

I knew I was going to a cabin in the mountains. What I didn’t know was the amount of energy that was going to be in this gorgeous space. From the grounds themselves, to the inside of our cabin, walking along the various trails, meeting other beautiful people, all so very uplifting. Collectively every breath there was healing and fulfilling. I’ve stayed in several cabins and have attended endless retreats. But this particular one settled right into my soul. I’m already looking at when I can return. So much gratitude to all who’ve made it possible.

The perfect getaway! Clean, peaceful, just beautiful

The cabin was perfect for those looking for a getaway. We stayed at the Trinity cabin and it exceeded our expectation. Waking up to everything just so alive while trying to get away from our busy 9-5 lifestyle was just what we needed. We will definitely be coming back real soon.

Forest Bliss

I fell in love with this land. Loved the deep rest and peace of the place. It was beautiful, clean, well-cared for. The cabin was so cozy and enjoyable, very simple, but just the right woodsy feel...very natural and conducive to rest and rejuvenation. The bed was very comfortable - it was hard to get up out of it. The host was great and very accommodating. I would definitely stay here again.

This place is fabulous if you're looking for peace and quiet, solitude and nature. There were few people around, but all were friendly and courteous. The Trinity cabin is definitely as rustic as they describe, but everything was neat and clean and functional. I'd definitely visit again.

Secluded place to unplug

We loved the wilderness and vibe of the cabin. Great place to unplug and unwind. WiFi is available at main house if needed. This place is off the beaten path on a dirt road in the middle of the woods. Not a mechanical noise to be heard. Just the peaceful sounds of nature, birds, and wind through the leaves. Great wildflowers everywhere. Truly a gem. Take all your food supplies with you not convenient to run out for that forgotten item. However well worth it!! Highly recommend you take a flashlight, boardgames or good book. Great hiking trails . Bathroom is a short walk from cabin however nothing unusual if you ever gone camping. Very comfortable bed. Loved the wooden beams and cabin construction. I would highly recommend this place. Very dog friendly!!! Minimum interaction with host, Just enough to check in. We loved the place . Other than having to wash my car when we returned, no downsides. Just what we were looking for. Thank you Adam and your Staff.

Cozy Cabin in lovely setting

We enjoyed our stay. Very peaceful. The bathroom and outhouse were further away than I thought they were from the listing. The Bathroom and shower room were not heated and the "hot" shower was lukewarm at best. It was a little chilly so the woodstove was lovely.
