About Rene and Drue
We have lived in this wonderful community of Nevada City for over 20 years now, and find that our guests love the area as much as we do. Papa Bear's Lodge was our family home until our son went away to college. We now live in town, right next to Rene's studio, just a short distance from the lodge and cabins. We personally attend to the upkeep and management of the property. Our cabins reflect our love for the arts, and you'll find Rene's handmade pottery there too. If you hit it just right, you may be able to catch one of us in a local play.
Rene and Drue purchased this cabin in 2000
Why Rene and Drue chose Gold Country & High Sierra
We stumbled upon the jewel of Nevada city in 1989 and, impressed with the local theater scene and the wholesome, friendly atmosphere, decided this was the place to live and raise our young son. Now, having raised along with him, goats, horses and veggie gardens, we decided to move several years ago from Papa Bear's Lodge to our home in town, which is conveniently located next to Rene's pottery studio. We love the friendly people, history, culture and ambiance of Nevada City, as well as the beauty of the surrounding foothills. We consider it a gift to be able to share our lodge and cabins with visitors to this area.
What makes this cabin unique
Though you feel like you are out in the woods, you are only 2.5 miles from the energy of downtown, with it's many shops, live theater, fine dining, city park and pool, and night life. Go the other direction, and you are just 3.5 miles from our magical Yuba River with its huge boulders and big swimming holes as well as fine hiking paths. If you want to just stay cozy in one of the log cabins, you will not be disappointed. The feeling there is so serene, even we feel like we are on vacation when we are there. In the summer time, the children's camps are in session all around Lake Vera. We are located next to Camp Augusta.
Guestbook comments from the owner
Tis was such a great place to host a family reunion. We loved the space, great kitchen (although I suggested adding a garlic press) and nature setting. Thank you for opening up hour home and making it available to rent! Our family enjoyed it so much! We had a Marry Merry Christmas!

Fabulous three bears property!
We rented all three cabins on this property for our family to stay over a long weekend when my son got married nearby. The houses are comfortable, well stocked, plenty of dishes, games, furniture, etc., for a large group.
We all found the web site/app a little difficult to navigate. I would recommend putting all of the check out instructions in one spot under check out. The check out instructions seem to be scattered throughout the information & I hope we didn't forget anything!
A great spot for a large group to gather comfortably.
The houses are log cabin style. Cozy, comfortable, mismatched, lived-in, well-equipped. The best feature is a huge great room, with several different seating areas, including a large dining room table. Our group gathered comfortably there, and on the comfy front and back porches, over a long weekend. The location feels "in the woods." There is a children's camp next door, which is occupied during the summer, but otherwise quiet and peaceful. The owners are responsive and friendly. We would stay here again.
Wonderful, quiet, convenient
Very spacious, and well equipped! Room for our family to spread out. House cool in the hot weather!
AMAZING RETREATß
A group of friends for over 30 years, The Knight Crew, has had our last two reunions here and they are always the best, in large part due to the fantastic accommodations. We all look forward to our next stay.
Amazing
Papa bear is incredible, confortable, sweet and it does feel like home
We will be back every year for our anniversary
Thank you
love the bears and the state
We have memories that will last a lifetime
Map
If you like history, there is plenty here. Originally built in the 1850's, Nevada City and it's neighboring town, Grass Valley, are historically preserved, with the streets looking very much as they did back in the days of the gold rush era. You will find beautiful old victorian homes, gold mining museums, fine restaurants and live theater. Pioneer Park is a great place for the family with younger children wanting a playground, ball parks tennis courts, and a swimming pool.
You can try your hand at gold panning along the Yuba River or Deer Creek. For a great day trip Lake Tahoe and the surrounding area beckons.
Our three cabins are located on 5 acres, next to Camp Augusta, and 80 acre children's summer camp. In the summer months you can hear 'happy camp sounds' as children enjoy swimming, zip lining and singing around the camp fire.
