About this property

The Most Romantic Creekside Cabin - with Hot Tub and Privacy

Tara is a romantic and elegant cabin on 30 private acres of woodland.

The luxurious one room cabin has wooden beam ceilings and floors, surrounded by windows with green tree-filled views and creek frontage. It boasts a fully equipped kitchen and everything needed to cook a gourmet meal. Down bedding with 100% cotton linens. French doors open onto multi-leveled decks (hot tub) overlooking the creek. It is THE place to relax and recharge in serene beauty and comfort.

The creek below the deck has private swimming holes, waterfalls, and large granite flat rocks for sunbathing. This is a “too good to be true” place to get away from it all.

Sit by the cozy wood stove in winter
Relax on the sunny deck in spring.
Float in private swimming holes in summer.

Enjoy the camp at Lover's Pool, with chairs, floats, chaise lounges, and an umbrella. Bring the picnic tote, a towel, reading material, and stay for hours in Heaven. The creek is completely PRIVATE for cabin guests only.

Historic Nevada City is just a 10 minute drive. Dine, shop, hike and explore the area. Or just enjoy a slow and peaceful day at the cabin, lying in the sun, sitting near and floating in the creek, reading or napping by the fire or on chaise lounges. Evenings and sunsets are sweet in the fading light of the day - while enjoying a glass of wine on the deck or soaking in the hot tub.

Sierra Nevada mountains, LakeTahoe, Donner Lake and the historic town of Truckee are an easy hour away.

An outdoor motion-activated Security Camera is mounted on a PG&E pole adjacent to the driveway. (It monitors only the road and cabin driveway. Not the cabin itself)

Cute cabin with privacy! Nice location with wild turkeys to watch. Cabin had everything we needed, except a microwave and a tv. The tv was in a closet, which needed to be set up. Definitely, a cabin for tree huggers. With that being said, we had a wonderful time.

Entire place was great, even in the August heat of 80 degrees, it was so nice to spend time down by the creek, a quick jump in and out of the water was plenty. We thought we'd go into town for meals, but ended up cooking and staying in–eating lunch at the creek and dinner up on the deck. Can't wait to visit again!

I think having the hot tub operate at a higher temperature would have been nice. The kitchen did not have a microwave or air fryer, so it was difficult to reheat food.

As John Muir put it. "I went into the forest to lose my mind and find my soul." This magical place has become one of our favorite stays. If you want to unwind, relax, find yourself and hust revonnect with nature this is an absolutely beautiful accomodation. It's everything described in the listing if not more. Linda is an amazing hostess. The home is immaculate and stocked with everything you would need. Now for the surrounding grounds...photos do not do it justice. Stunning!!

I have never taken the time to leave a review, but our stay at Tara cabin was so special that I couldn't wait to tell all of you about it! Absolutely everything was perfect! As soon as you drive up you realize how special the place is. The cabin is absolutely adorable with cozy furnishings, a stocked kitchen and a gorgeous bathroom. The deck wraps around the cabin and leads to the back where you can enjoy a two-person hot tub with breathtaking views! The entire property is completely private and you truly feel disconnected from the loud world. From the deck you can walk down a maintained path all the way to Rock Creek. The creek has endless waterfalls, pools to swim in, and of course fishing. Although we didn't catch anything, reports say there are some big fish in it. We booked our next stay already and plan on having many many more! It might be a little pricey, but I would say to all of you... SPLURGE! You won't be disappointed!! Thank you to the owners for sharing such an enchanting place!
Perfect spot to sun bath or pan for gold!
Little fishing holes all over!

Dream cabin

The Perfect Romantic Getaway!This cabin was everything we hoped for and more. The views were absolutely breathtaking — waking up to the sound of the river every morning felt like a dream. The space was cozy, clean, and beautifully decorated, with so many thoughtful touches that made it feel extra special. We especially appreciated the peace and privacy — it felt like we had our own little world tucked away in nature. The host was incredibly responsive and thoughtful throughout our stay, which made everything even more seamless. Truly the perfect romantic escape for couples looking to disconnect and relax. We can’t wait to come back!

And the warm and inviting cabin is the perfect place to relax in the midst of such a setting. It is heaven on earth.
