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)
- "This cabin is one of a kind! Nestled in amongst the trees with private swimming holes, it is a perfect location to relax and unwind. My husband and I spent our 30th anniversary at Tara and we will definitely go back! The property manager made the trip so easy. Very responsive! 100% recommend booking this property!" - "Just the rushing creek & birds singing, very private & relaxing…the swimming holes make this a beautiful sanctuary." - "We spent our anniversary weekend here. The photos don’t do this place justice. Private, secluded, beautiful and well appointed. Do yourself a favor and book this."

Nevada City: The Spring and Fall in Nevada City are not to be missed, this small Gold Mining town is a definite destination for a week (or weekend) of fun.

- "We had a great time! Cabin was cute and had all the amenities we needed. Close to great spots on the Yuba, with kayaks and assorted watercraft to use on the pond. Great,quick getaway!" - "My family had a wonderful 3 nights here and we are already talking about our next visit!!" - "Cute cabin with nice space outside for kids to run around. Very comfortable." - "Wonderful quiet place. Kathryn communicated very clearly there was no water in the lake when I was there, and it was still very beautiful and quiet! I didn't realize when I rented the cabin there was no cel service or internet at the cabin, and the two tv's there were not hooked up. But that turned out to be a great opportunity to unplug completely. The cabin is charming, with nice details and beautiful surroundings, only 10 minutes to town. They clearly know what they're doing in organizing things perfectly for a place like this, and I really enjoyed the stay. I supposed one suggestion might be that the full carpeting in the bedroom seems to hold pet smell a lot, maybe a throw-rug would work as well and keep the air a bit better? But overall, the place was comfortable, quiet, beautiful, and well cared for. What a great little retreat space -- very quiet and close to town!"

Just 2.5 miles from downtown Nevada City you'll find Baby Bear's Cottage, a one bedroom, one bath, with your own private hot tub that has a view of the waterfall and pond, on 5 wooded acres adjacent to Papa Bear's Timber Lodge (listing # 46584). This cozy log cottage can be rented alone or for additional space when renting Papa Bear's Lodge. It is an ideal location for relaxing or exploring Nevada City , Grass Valley, or the South Yuba River, both only minutes away by car.
Please note that we are in an area that cannot receive a fast iternet signal. There is wifi calling, and you can check emails etc but streaming will be pretty impossible. There is a TV with satalite reception. The kitchen features a small stove with oven, microwave, and 3/4 size refrigerator. The bedroom boasts a comfortable king bed and the sounds of the waterfall directly outside. The air is fresh with pine and cedar scent. You are invited to hike their trails if it is the off season, (Camp is is session from May -August) by stopping in at their office and asking permission.
A $55 cleaning fee and 10% bed tax is charged in addition to the room rate. Extra guest charge for third guest is $15/nt. No pets are allowed in Baby Bear's Cottage for the benefit of our guests who have allergies. Sorry, no exceptions. In the heart of downtown Nevada City (2.5 miles) and Grass Valley (5 miles) you'll find great food, outstanding live theater and wonderful galleries and shops. Travel by car to skiing, river or lake kayaking and swimming. There are many bicycle trails through the surrounding hills and plenty of hiking triails. Local and out-of-town musicians can be heard almost any night of the week at several of the theater venues and restaurants. Check the Chamber of Commerce web site at the bottom of this page for information on the many special events happening in the area.Try your hand at gold panning at the Yuba River, and visit the Historic Empire Mine. This area is ideal for mountain bikers, kayakers and hikers, and, for those looking for a romantic getaway. Lake Vera is a small lake surrounded by summer camps and used exclusively by them. ( Our guests have no access.) Our 3 cabins are located on 5 acres next to Camp Augusta. In the summer months (late May to mid August) you can hear 'happy camp sounds' as children enjoy swimming, zip lining and singing around the camp fire, then off to bed by 9:30, quiet hour. You are invited to hike their trails if it is the off season, (Camp is is session from May -August) by stopping in at their office and asking permission. This is the perfect spot to unwind, and although Papa Bear's Lodge is next door, their activities and outdoor area and porch are away from Baby Bear's Cottage. The waterfall goes 24 hours so if you are sensitive to water sounds at night, this may not be the place for you. On a dark night you can see the milky way. You may see a deer or two wander through the yard. this is definitely a special place.

- "My partner and stayed for 2 nights and really enjoyed our stay! We LOVED the waterfall and tiered ponds! The hot tub was great to relax in at night. The property is located close to the historic town Nevada City. We were able to explore different things near us. We plan to rent the cabin again in the future, maybe even rent all 3 for our family as a group." - "This cabin is the cutest and most perfect getaway ever. It’s so clean, cozy, and completely stocked with anything and everything you could ever need and the bed is huge and soft. Everything is extremely thoughtful and done with the customer experience in mind. There’s a tv with dish and even different games and books and activities. The hot tub is nice and private and the private pond is so beautiful and serene. It was fairly easy to find, the check in was perfect because we didn’t even have to do anything, it was just ready for us without anyone. It was also private and quiet. Everything was so perfect and comfortable and cozy that I didn’t want to leave! It had the ultimate cozy cabin vibe. We will be back for sure."

- "Our recent stay was an absolute dream for our work team + our 1.5 year old & doggy. This was our first getaway as a company and Geeta truly made it special. Traveling with a baby and a dog can be stressful but Geeta’s place was completely baby proofed and very dog friendly, equipped with a baby gate, a baby carrier, a doggy waste station, a leash and dog bowl! We really appreciated the highchair and the baby utensils. We also found two tricycles in the garage which were an instant hit with the baby. You definitely won’t have to bring your own baby toys with, as this house included children’s books, toys, games, and even an electronic activity/learning station. The kitchen was a huge highlight of our stay. It had any appliance you would need. Every night we made elaborate meals that wouldn’t have been possible in a smaller kitchen. We appreciated the wide variety of spices on the rack and the breakfast corner with complementary snacks and cereals. We made use of the bbq grill as well! We also appreciated the beautifully set table upon our arrival. Thank you, Geeta for making our first work trip one for the books. We would 100% recommend anyone stay here and will tell our friends about it."

Guests have access to the entire house, including the garage. The home is three stories, including the lower garage/media room level, so it is a requirement to be able to go up and down stairs. Additionally, the house is located on a slight slope with gravel paths and stairs for access to the front door. Being able to navigate slightly loose, uneven terrain is also a necessity.
A local property manager is available for any onsite needs or questions.
Other things to note:
PG&E Public Safety Power Shutoff Potential - Much of Northern California, Nevada City included, is subject to power shut offs from the local utility, PG&E, when it is determined that weather conditions are creating a high fire danger (typically, high winds, low humidity and warm). The cabin is equipped with a Tesla PowerWall battery back-up, so power should not be interrupted at the house, HOWEVER, when running on back-up battery, the air conditioning will not work and major appliances (washer/dryer & dishwasher) should not be used to conserve battery energy. By booking the cabin you acknowledge that there is the potential for loss of power in the area and at the house during your stay. Refunds will not be given if a power shutoff in the area is predicted or occurs.
Winter Conditions - While rare, it can snow in Nevada City in the winter and our Cabin is at a slightly higher elevation than town, meaning more snow. The gravel driveway is on a slope leading up to the house and is not easily plowed. If there is snow forecast, it's highly recommended to have a 4WD car with chains and/or have enough food and wood provisions for a cozy weekend snowed in. If enough snow falls and your car cannot make it up, you may be required to park at the bottom of the driveway and walk the short distance up to the house. Snow shovels and sleds provided.
Early Check-In/Late Check-Out: If it can be accommodated (no one else is checking in or out on your arrival or departure day), we can sometimes offer either early or late check out, outside of the typical hours of 4 p.m. check-in/11 a.m. check out, at a rate of $10 per hour. However, we typically will not know if the request will be possible more than 1-2 days prior to check-in. If you know that you'll need an early check-in/late check-out, consider booking another night!
Potential for noise - The house is a log cabin and the floors upstairs are the ceilings for downstairs without any insulation. Noise travels easily between the two floors.
No Smoking - This is a no smoking house and property. If it is found that any substance has been smoked anywhere on the property (particularly inside the house anywhere - including basement/garage), you will be charged $250 for smoke remediation.
- "Casi’s home will quickly become your home during your stay. It really has all you could possibly expect, super well provisioned kitchen, comfortable beds, linens, lots of room for e everyone. Make sure you make use of the lovely deck out front. It’s a great spot to regroup after the day’s activities and the front porch is so nice for watching the stars and chatting before bed. Don’t miss the chance to stay here." - "My daughter lives in Nevada City and planned her wedding there. I wanted to be close to her, downtown and the wedding venue and this house was ideal. My one question was answered promptly, otherwise all details were apparent (it helps to look at the book!). We didn’t cook much due to the excellence of local restaurants—South Pine always for breakfast, New Moon and Lefty’s for dinner, but in normal circumstances the kitchen would have been a delight for family meals. Consider this our family destination when we visit the newlyweds!"

Thanks for the hospitality!" - "Absolutely beautiful mountain cabin with a gorgeous meadow and stream plus wonderful trails. We're definitely going to stay again." - "If you like seclusion, this is the place to go. A short 30 minute drive to Yuba River access. Adam was great and very helpful."

The best vacation rental in Nevada City! Snippets from our reviews:
"Wow. This was by far the best VRBO I've ever stayed at, and I've stayed at dozens." -Michael
"I don’t know how many times our group kept commenting on how amazing the place was." -Crystal
Kindly read through the entire description before booking. Thank you :)
Creekfront designer cabin on 8 acres with hot tub. The private creek is year-round and perfect for dipping on a hot day. There is a large fire pit, horseshoes, and a hammock by the creek. Seclusion and quietude in nature yet 4 minutes to downtown Nevada City, 15 min to rivers & lakes, and 45 min to ski resorts. This is the place for people who are tired of rentals that lack amenities or aesthetic quality. This is also a non-toxic, eco-friendly sanctuary.
There are four bedrooms in the main house and an optional separate studio to rent. (Note the description says this is 5 bedrooms-- so if only renting the main house you are renting 4 bedrooms, or you can optionally add the studio for a fifth bedroom.) The main house has two bedrooms with king beds, one bedroom with a twin bed and a twin air mattress (if needed but please request ahead of time), and an enclosed den with a queen murphy bed. This allows 8 people to sleep comfortably in the main house (more with the studio if needed-- see below). There are 3 bathrooms in the main house, one with a lux freestanding soaking tub with forest views.
For 9-11 guests, or if you just want extra space for a smaller party, you can rent the separate studio for $125/night plus $125 cleaning fee. This is discounted from our regular rates. The studio is beautifully renovated with a queen bed, full kitchen, bathroom, and living area with sofa for a child or young adult to sleep on. Photos for the studio are in this listing photo set. To rent the studio, please check with me about its availability before booking, and then make your booking here with the total amount of people staying in the main house *and* the studio.
The kitchen is fully equipped-- this is not like other rentals that lack wine glasses or cooking pans! We have a Ninja blender, instant pot/slow cooker, toaster, French press coffee maker, coffee grinder, lots of dishes and utensils, state of the art drinking water filtration system, gas oven and stove, baking dishes and pans, and more. You'll also be provided with organic cooking oil and organic spices.
The owner specializes in non-toxic home design so everything from the mattresses and bedding to the soap & shampoo are non-toxic, eco-friendly, and/or organic.
You have complete reign of the 8 acre property, including the hot tub, and private creekfront park with gazebo, fire pit, and horseshoe pit. Sometimes we rent out a studio on the property (or you can rent it-- see details above), but studio guests do not have access to acres of the property that are just for you, so the hot tub, fire pit, gazebo, horse shoe pit, and more is yours. If you want total privacy, we can block out the studio from being rented for an additional $75/night, or you can rent it for $125/night plus $125 cleaning fee (see details above).
Pack and play, bassinet, and dining table booster seat with tray are available! Please just bring your own sheet for the pack and play or bassinet. We also have a twin air bed, which is usually needed if 8 guests are staying in the main home (if the studio is not rented). Please request the air bed in advance of your arrival so we can set it up for you.
It can occasionally snow in Nevada City in the winter (December or January - March). If staying here when it snows, you will need snow chains and/or a 4WD vehicle to access the home. (Alternatively, you could park on the snow-plowed street but the driveway is quite long and steep so would be a trek to carry luggage.)
No parties or events, and please ask if you want to invite anyone to the home who is not in the guest count at booking.
We love dogs and do not discriminate against breeds! Please just confirm at time of booking that your pup will not go to the bathroom in the house or chew any items in the house.
- "The property is very comfortable and with the stream and horseshoes near the stream it is an enjoyable area to spend the day. The property has everything you need to relax and getaway from it all." - "My Husband & I loved this property!!! We were impressed by the private driveway, complete privacy, beautiful home & gorgeous property! We were minutes from downtown Nevada City, yet felt miles away. We loved the quality built home, large windows, views, deck, spa, walking trails, gently flowing river, horseshoe pits, gazebo and the several areas to sit and take it all in and enjoy! Every direction you looked was beautiful!!!The home has a large family room, dinning area, well appointed kitchen and very comfortable bedding and bed. If you are looking for a restful retreat as a couple, family or friends you won't be disappointed! The pictures are nice but they don't really do the property justice. For us this home was a 10.Our only regret was having to pull away and leave this peaceful mountain home!"

Experience the Beauty of the Sierra foothills and the Yuba River in our Yurt tucked into the forest just 2 miles from downtown Nevada City. Country Living magazine listed Nevada City as one of the top 10 small cities. Grass Valley is 10 minutes away as well and has more food, shopping, and entertainment for you. Access to the Yuba River is as close as 20 mins to Edwards Crossing and 20 mins to Hoyts Crossing on Highway 49.
Come and relax! We have an outdoor (and indoor) shower, a claw foot bath tub, fire pit, and large deck to chill on. Surrounded by Ferns, Madrones, Incense Cedars, and Doug Firs, you will never know you are only two miles from town. We have hours of hiking right outside the yurt. Our property connects to the Woodpecker Preserve and the Gracie Trail if you hike up the mountain.
We absolutely recommend trying to stay for two or more nights so that you can get accustomed to the space, learn the property, settle in, and relax.
Things you might like to bring: headlamps, robe, flip flops, slippers, hiking shoes.
There is a wood-fired stove inside with plenty of wood stacked to keep you warm and there is a wood-fired hot tub that is dedicated to this yurt only. Both require a fire to be lit and maintained to keep it hot.
The kitchen is fully equipped with a hot plate, toaster oven, microwave, refrigerator, cutlery, pots and pans, grill, etc .There should be charcoal available, but if not, please plan to bring your own or go to the store..
Water: we are on a well and provide fresh drinking water in a container for you. It’s fine to drink, cook, and bathe with the water from the tap but it can have a minerally quality to it. We test the well annually. We provide filtered water but if it runs out, the water out of the tap is safe and delicious.
Sleep: we have a heating blanket for cold nights, It’s about 10 degrees cooler on our land than in town. This is a real treat during our hot summers. There will be a fan for you as well during the warm season.
Pets: We love them. Please clean up after them. Please put the protective striped sheets on the furniture to keep it hair-free if your pets jump up on the furniture.
If they do not get along with chickens, dogs, and cats please keep them on a leash. We have many animals on the property that roam freely. Most likely you won’t see them but I can’t guarantee it.
The hot tub: it’s wood-fired. This means you have to heat it with a fire to get it hot. This can take many hours to get to the right temperature. It’s a good idea to start a fire right when you get there! This tub may have leaves in it (they fall from above) and cloudy water. The water should NOT smell, the cloudiness is a part of the cedar tubs charm- ash from the fire and particulate from the cedar mix together. We treat it between guests with natural products that maintain the wood (you can’t use chlorine in these tubs). We clean it regularly. Please shower before using it to wash off any oils and sweat off your body. The outdoor shower is lovely :)

- "The yurt is wonderfully designed. The property is gorgeous, and the work they are doing to improve it even more is inspiring. The location feels very remote and tranquil. We will definitely come back again sometime. Thanks so much for your hospitality." - "Loved the simplicity of the yurt, and even without AC the fans and shade trees kept it comfortable. A beautiful and secluded location. Something about firing up and tending the hotub was deeply satisfying."

- "Fantastic week of swimming and relaxing." - "We had such an amazing time this past week for spring break. Pictures don't do it justice, lodge was very well appointed, beds were amazingly comfortable and the property was just beautiful. Can't beat a fire by the lake. It was fun because we were there the week the lake was filling up so everyday our paddling experience on the lake was different! Loved the wildlife - saw several types of birds, a couple of turtles, and heard the frogs. Great hikes in the area, we easily found a few that worked for our 4 year old and dog. We liked to go for a hike in the am and then come back to the lake to relax in the pm. Kathyn's communication was top notch - responsive and proactive. We hope to come again."

A magical three-bedroom A-frame retreat on ten wooded acres with private pond, Victorian-style tiny house, creek access, and miles of hiking trails. We are a family of four (an artist, a film-maker and two school-aged kids) who live here part-time. We are excited to share this epic off-the-grid compoundwith our guests and protect it for future generations. Dog friendly :) There is also a 30’ Pacific Yurt that can be added to this rental for an additional fee of $150/stay.
Because we are off-the-grid, we are not affected by power outages :)
We also have a 3-season outside full bathroom with shower which is great as a daytime backup. It is right outside the house.
This place is a wildlife paradise, and a dream for those wanting to get away from it all. The main cabin has everything you need, with an open-concept floor plan that is great for gatherings. We have an expandable dining table, a spacious light-filled living room, and a giant wrap-around deck with serene and inspiring forest views.
Master bedroom: a peaceful, spacious room on the ground floor (next to the bathroom) with a new king bed, reading and desk areas plus a separate door to the outside
Balcony Room: Upstairs, zen-like, with a memory-foam queen bed, lots of windows, and private small balcony overlooking the deck and forest
Triangle Room: Two stacked twin beds and lots of built-ins. This cozy room upstairs has a big beautiful window and lots of character.
Living Room: Our couch unfolds to sleep two guests.
In addition to the above, we have a thin twin mattress stored with the blankets and additional sleeping space in the Tiny House (see below). Our home has a central staircase that is not appropriate for kids between the ages of 1 and 5. Babies are fine.
TINY HOUSE
We have a fabulous Craftsman tiny house on the property that shares a bath with the main cabin. It hasits own little porch and a fold-out daybed that comfortably sleeps two adults. This charming little house is just downhill from the main cabin, and a perfect place for writing or quiet contemplation. The tony house has no bathroom, no water but does have heat and electric.
THE YURT
Our property also has an epic 30’ pacific Yurt set in the trees. Amazing for gatherings and workshops, it can be added to your rental for an additional nightly fee of $75. Please text us to let us know if you'd like to add the yurt to your rental. Note: the yurt has no heat or electric but we provide lanterns and you can bring charged devices down for music etc
LOCATION
The woods set the tone in this beautiful place. The cabin is a truly a peaceful and magical spot with endless birds, butterflies, wildflowers and the occasional fence lizard in warmer months. Looks for deer, owls, and maybe even a bobcat in fall and winter.
The cabin is nestled in a secluded park-like setting, but is less than 15 minutes to both Historic Nevada City and Grass Valley with lots of options for restaurants, nightlife and events. Less than 30 minutes to some of the best swimming spots on the Yuba River and Scott’s Flat Lake. About 20 minutes to Tahoe National Forest and about an hour to the snow in the Lake Tahoe area. We are 1/2 mile from the Cascade Canal Trail for excellent hiking and mountain biking.
Enjoy access to beautiful Little Deer Creek just a few hundred feet down the hill, or hang out by the pond. Miles of hiking and mountain biking trails 1/2 mile away, or stay close to home on the deck surrounded by beautiful forest views. We are on the cool side of Banner Mountain, which is great in the hot Summer months.
Giant Old Growth Cedar, Madrone, Douglas fir, Dogwood, Big Leaf Maple and Pacific Yew trees provide sanctuary for a wide variety of birds and wildlife. This includeseverything from deer, bears and mountain lions, to spiders and poison oak. Please be aware, responsible, and respectful of the plants and animals that share the forest with our beautiful home.
SOME IMPORTANT DETAILS
We provide blankets and pillows for 10, and enough bath towels for your group.
Please bring your own swim towels if heading to the river or lake.
Due to some architectural details around the staircase and central wood stove, be careful on the stairs with little kids and elders.
The house sleeps 8 (or 10 with the tiny house), but we are open to hosting larger gatherings or retreat activities in the yurt.
Phone reception is solid for Verizon, and most other carriers
We are about a 1/2 mile down a pretty narrow, semi-private dirt and gravel road. It is easily drivable by any car. There is a large parking lot with plenty of parking for multiple vehicles.
Tobacco smoking is allowed outdoors only. Wildfire prevention is critical, so we ask you smoke only on the decks and driveway and be extra careful with sparks and butts. Absolutely no outdoor fires.
Our home is totally OFF THE GRID!
We’ve upgraded all the systems that make our home run efficiently and sustainably, so that you can barely notice the property is entirely off-the-grid. You can turn on lights and plug things in, use the WIFI, take a hot shower and stay warm with the central wood stove and propane wall heater or cool with the ceiling fan.
Because we are off-grid, we ask that you be energy-smart when in our home. Turn off lights when not in use and be mindful of high-energy appliances like blowdryers, vacuum and the toaster.
Our fresh mountain spring water comes from a private well.
Our friendly care-takers live in the barn right behind the main house. They will give you plenty of space but are available to help out with things if needed - just send them a text.
- "This was a bit of a last minute reservation as we had a change in plans and needed to travel into Nevada City for a few days. First - Paulina was beyond friendly and responsive - super easy to work with and quick to answer questions! The house was very clean, comfortable, and in an absolutely amazing location. Both my husband and I worked from the home while our kids were at camp. The internet was a bit tough - but Paulina had warned us and we had no trouble if we used our phone hotspots and were able to have video calls (with our own videos turned off). If you are planning to work from home up here - recommend having your own hot spot on your phone. While it is rural - directions were clear to get here and no trouble getting there with a minivan. Beds were very comfortable, kitchen well-appointed (note - no dishwasher or washer/dryer so prepare/pack accordingly), plenty of great places to work within and outside the house, games/puzzles our kids enjoyed, and even a large collection of movies. Our golden doodle loved it too! Highly recommend this house and if we ever find ourselves in Nevada City again would DEFINITELY rent from here."

Set back from the bustle of Broad Street, you’d be hard-pressed to find another luxury cabin in Nevada City that offers as many must-haves as The Antler. Steps to downtown, situated directly on little Deer Creek, with a private driveway and on-site parking. A private wrap-around deck with a sunk-in hot tub. High ceilings, w/natural wood beams, a Creekside fire pit in the evenings for s'mores and stories, and an overall quiet, calm, nurturing vibe. Love your life and times at the Antler!
You may want to curl up to the romantic wood stove in the living room w/ a good book or settle in with a movie on the large flat screen. Dine al fresco while taking in the best creek views in town. With luxury prioritized, The Antler provides organic mattresses, down blankets and pillows, high-end linens, towels, and robes. Every texture just right.
An echo of minimal Scandinavian design allows for much of the art and beauty to be supplied by nature herself. The Antler is both refined and soothing, modern, and stream-lined while somehow remaining a cozy and warm cabin.
Stroll to the famous Stone House for a delicious meal and then to Pioneer Park for Movies Under the Pines.
- "We loved our stay here, and would absolutely book it again. The house is so cute and charmingly decorated, with everything we needed for a comfortable home base. The view out the back windows is so pretty with all the trees and little creek, we saw lots of birds and butterflies, and even a couple of deer. It’s a very short walk to downtown with lots of nearby restaurants and shops. The owner was also very friendly and responsive, an overall great host."

Take it easy at this unique and tranquil getaway. Enjoy the feeling of sleeping in a log cabin near some of the most beautiful swimming holes the Yuba River and California have to offer. The cabin is 2.2 miles from Edward’s Crossing and 5.9 miles to downtown. It’s located on a fenced gated acre and has recently been remodeled with new floors, kitchen and bath. The king size bed and sheets are all organic in a small bedroom. Well behaved pets are welcome with an additional fee.

- "Enjoyed the property and house" - "The cottage was cozy but spacious for 4. The kitchen was well-equipped and the place was sparkling clean. The deck was huge and has a nice view of the mountains. It’s a relaxing place to stay yet just about 15 drive to Nevada City. We really enjoyed our stay." - "This is a very cute little place in the woods with beautiful views and a peaceful atmosphere. We were bummed that the hot tub was very dirty and unusable. We cooked in the kitchen and immediately noticed a strong gas smell. We turned off the oven and opened the windows but not before we got headaches and lightheaded. We did not see any co2 detectors but that doesn’t mean they weren’t there. The kitchen also had a substantial ant problem. My husband had an allergic reaction to something in the middle of the night and had to go to the emergency room. That could be unrelated to the home but he has no known allergies and as soon as we left the house the reaction got better. There is a lot of construction on the property which made it a bit challenging to walk around with small children. This could have been great but we won’t be back."

Experience the Beauty of the Sierra foothills and the Yuba River in our Yurt tucked into the forest just 2 miles from downtown Nevada City. Country Living magazine listed Nevada City as one of the top 10 small cities. Grass Valley is 10 minutes away as well and has more food, shopping, and entertainment for you. Access to the Yuba River is as close as 20 minutes to Edwards Crossing and 20 mins to Hoyts Crossing on Highway 49.
Come and relax! This unique and beautiful 18' yurt is tucked into a lush watershed area. Surrounded by Ferns, Madrones, Incense Cedars, and Doug Firs, you will never know you are only two miles from town. Country Living magazine listed Nevada City as one of the top 10 small cities. Our property connects to the Woodpecker Preserve and the Gracie Trail if you hike up the mountain. With a natural creek right outside your door and hiking trails right off the deck, this serene and beautiful yurt retreat awaits you.
We absolutely recommend trying to stay for two or more nights so that you can get accustomed to the space, learn the property, settle in, and relax.
Things you might like to bring: headlamps, robe, flip flops, slippers, hiking shoes.
There is a wood-fired stove inside with plenty of wood stacked to keep you warm and there is a wood-fired hot tub that is dedicated to this yurt only. Both require a fire to be lit and maintained to keep it hot.
The kitchen is fully equipped with a hot plate, toaster oven, microwave, refrigerator, cutlery, pots and pans, grill, etc. There should be charcoal available, but if not, please plan to bring your own or go to the store.
Water: we are on a well and provide fresh drinking water in a container for you. It’s fine to drink, cook, and bathe with the water from the tap but it can have a minerally quality to it. We test the well annually. We provide filtered water but if it runs out, the water out of the tap is safe and delicious.
Fireplace: We will leave you a bundle of wood that comes with the rental. If you need more wood you can purchase it from us or from the grocery store. We have lots of wood at the yurt and we ask you to pay $10 per bundle if you use more then we leave you inside. This is on the honor system. If you don’t know how to start a fire you may want to bring an instant log.
The hot tub: it’s wood-fired. This means you have to heat it with a fire to get it hot. This can take many hours to get to the right temperature. It’s a good idea to start a fire right when you get there!
Sleep: we have a heating blanket for cold nights. It’s about 10 degrees cooler on our land than in town. There will be a fan for you as well during the warm season.
It’s a beautiful time of year on the property. If you walk the trails around the property and keep going up, you will hit the irrigation streams, so beautiful right now! You can also walk up the street to access the same waterways. Please stay on the paths and do not allow dogs, kids, etc. to put unnecessary wear and tear on the environment.
We have 19 chickens and two baby goats (born 3/14/25). You're welcome to take fresh eggs out of the indoor coop. Feel free to go into the pen and interact with the goats; they love fresh branches, fresh leaves, chips, and crackers. They are currently bottle-fed fed so they like to suck on fingers as well. They love attention! The spotted one is Rocket, and the yellow one is Willow.
Checkout: Checkout time is 11 am. Here’s how to check out -Please do the dishes. Pile your used towels together so I don’t wash things that haven’t been used. Leave the door unlocked and leave the trash where it is, and we will take care of it. Just send me a text to 510-541-9416 that you’ve left if possible, so we can come and get it ready for the next person.
Land acknowledgment: We acknowledge that our property is located on unceded land. It is the traditional homeland of the Nisenan tribe. The Nisenan tribe is alive and active and continues to fight for federal recognition and compensation for land loss. We donate 10% of proceeds to CHIRP, which promotes the history and culture of the Nisenan tribe.https://chirpca.org
And the Bear Yuba Land Trust, which helps protect the fragile Yuba watershed. https://www.bylt.org
Thank you,
Enjoy your stay and be well!

- "My partner and I stayed here for an evening getaway and little birthday celebration, and it was absolutely magical! The property was beautiful and secluded, the hiking trails were fun to explore, and they provided everything we needed for a perfect stay. The cedar hot tub was fired up prior to our arrival, which is a highlight of this property! Along with the outdoor shower that was wonderful no matter what time of day. We’ll definitely be coming back! "

The Rhythm Cabin does not have an attached bathroom. There is an outhouse 30 ft behind the cabin with an indoor shower and outdoor shower for you to enjoy. The outhouse shared with myself and my roommate who live on the property as well!
We are in the early stages of actualizing a beautiful vision for this land.

**Cleaning protocols: We have always hired a terrific professional cleaning crew to clean between guests (see all of our reviews that mention how clean the house is). In addition to their regular thorough cleaning, our cleaners now also abide by Airbnb’s Covid-19 cleaning protocols including cleaning all high touch surfaces with antibacterial disinfectant after each guest (light switches, door handles, remotes, etc.).
In addition to the cleaning fee, 100% of which goes to our cleaning crew, we request that upon checkout guests wash their own dishes (in the dishwasher and wash and put away any oversized dishes or pots/pans) and start one load of any used towels in the washing machine with provided products prior to departure. We also ask that you treat any stained bedding - stains that cannot be removed by laundering will be charged to the guest.
Nevada County Transient Occupancy Tax Number: 01-137
Guest access
Guests have access to the entire house, including the garage. The home is three stories, including the lower garage/media room level, so it is a requirement to be able to go up and down stairs. Additionally, the house is located on a slight slope with gravel paths and stairs for access to the front door. Being able to navigate slightly loose, uneven terrain is also a necessity.
Other things to note
PG&E Public Safety Power Shutoff Potential - Much of Northern California, Nevada City included, is subject to power shut offs from the local utility, PG&E, when it is determined that weather conditions are creating a high fire danger (typically, high winds, low humidity and warm). The cabin is equipped with a Tesla PowerWall battery back-up, HOWEVER, when running on back-up battery, EXTREME energy conservation will be required - the air conditioning will not work, major appliances (washer/dryer & dishwasher) should not be used, hot water usage should be severely limited, and overall strict energy conservation will be needed. The battery life and ability to recharge also depends on the weather (how sunny it is at the time). By booking the cabin you acknowledge that there is the potential for loss of power in the area and at the house during your stay. Refunds will not be given if a power shutoff is predicted or occurs.
Wildfire/Smoke Risk - Fire danger is very high in Northern California and for the months typically between June and November, there is higher risk of local wildfires and poor air quality due to smoke conditions (although there is potential for fires all year round). Refunds will not be given/rescheduling not accommodated due to poor air quality or fires in the general area. If a voluntary evacuation warning is issued for our specific house address, a full refund will be issued if requested. If a mandatory evacuation order is issued for our address, your reservation will be cancelled and a full refund issued.
Winter Conditions - While rare, it can snow in Nevada City in the winter and our Cabin is at a slightly higher elevation than town, meaning more snow. The gravel driveway is on a slope leading up to the house and is not easily plowed. If there is snow forecast, it's highly recommended to have a 4WD car with chains and/or have enough food and wood provisions for a cozy weekend snowed in. If enough snow falls and your car cannot make it up, you may be required to park at the bottom of the driveway and walk the short distance up to the house. Snow shovels and sleds provided. Refunds will not be given for winter storm conditions.
Early Check-In/Late Check-Out: If it can be accommodated (no one else is checking in or out on your arrival or departure day), we can sometimes offer either early or late check out, outside of the typical hours of 4 p.m. check-in/11 a.m. check out, at a rate of $10 per hour. However, we typically will not know if the request will be possible more than 1-2 days prior to check-in. If you know that you'll need an early check-in/late check-out, consider booking another night!
Potential for noise - The house is a log cabin and the floors upstairs are the ceilings for downstairs without any insulation. Noise travels easily between the two floors.
No Smoking - This is a no smoking house and property. If it is found that any substance has been smoked anywhere on the property (particularly inside the house anywhere - including basement/garage), you will be charged $250 for smoke remediation.

Guests have complete and sole access to the house. We are nearby for questions, issues or suggestions but the property is all yours. The separate shop space will be unoccupied but closed to guests. All other amenities are open to the guests.
Other things to note
Spending the weekend here is a great opportunity to get away and unplug. That being said, wifi is powered by Starlink, fast and perfect for remote working, and a large desk overlooks the property for your projects or play. Settle in with the wood stove in the cold months and allow yourself to reset in this special sanctuary.
You could easily spend all your time here without leaving the property but we highly recommend adventuring to our beautiful rivers, nearby hikes and state parks. There are two grocery stores close by, Mother Truckers (a small natural foods market), Master's Market in Ananda (small market with lunch and coffee) and The Country Store (great for small tidbits). If you’re looking for a more complete grocery store, we recommend Nevada City or Grass Valley.

We're off-grid, so no issues with power outages or water shortages. We also allow pets for a small fee :) There is a 30’ Pacific Yurt that can also be added for an additional fee (sleeps 4+)
The space
This place is a forest paradise, and a dream for those wanting to get away from it all.
The main cabin has everything you need with an open-concept floor plan that is great for gatherings. We have an expandable dining table, a spacious light-filled living room, and a giant wrap-around deck with beautiful forest views that is excellent for entertaining and relaxing.
Sleeps 6 comfortably in the 3 bedrooms. There is also a queen-size fold-out couch in the living room and a single moveable folding mattress.
There is a three-season outside bathroom with a shower that guests can use from late March-November (or as long as temps stay above freezing). The deck is fully-enclosed and attached to a fully-fenced area for dogs.
In the summer months, 2 adventurous guests can sleep in the (super basic) tiny house too. This space is also great to use as a spot to write, think, and dream.
LOCATION
The woods set the tone in this peaceful and beautiful place. We have no visible neighbors, no traffic, just Nevada County magic.
The cabin is a magical spot with endless birds, butterflies, wildflowers and the occasional fence lizard in warmer months. When it's colder, look for deer, salamanders and maybe even a bobcat!
We are less than 15 minutes to both Historic Nevada City and Grass Valley with lots of options for restaurants, nightlife and events.
Less than 15 minutes to swimming at Scott’s Flat Lake, and less than 30 minutes to some of the best swimming spots on the Yuba River. We are also on the cool side of Banner Mountain, which is great in the hot Summer months!
1/2 mile from the gorgeous, flat Cascade Canal Trail for excellent easy walks, hiking, or mountain biking.
Our home is also totally OFF THE GRID!
This means we are not affected by power outages :)
We have updated all of the systems that make our home run efficiently and sustainably, so that you can barely notice the property is entirely off-the-grid (there is a very occasional light flicker, that's it). Our fresh, filtered mountain spring water comes from a private well.
We are open to hosting larger gatherings with retreat activities in the yurt for an additional fee of $150/stay, up to about 16 people max. There is a 2nd full bathroom outside in every season except winter. Get in touch if this is something you are interested in. Sorry no weddings or larger parties.
BEDROOMS DETAILS
Master bedroom: a peaceful, spacious room on the ground floor (next to the bathroom) with a super comfortable king bed, its own heater, a desk area and a separate door to the outside.
Balcony Room: Upstairs, zen-like, with a memory-foam queen bed, lots of windows, and small balcony overlooking the deck and forest.
Triangle Room: Twin bed with trundle bed and lots of built-ins. This cozy room upstairs has a big beautiful window and lots of character.
Living Room: Our couch unfolds to sleep two extra guests.
In addition to the above, we have a thin twin mattress stored with the blankets and additional sleeping space in the Tiny House (below). Our home has a central staircase that is potentially dangerous for kids between the ages of 1 and 5. So be aware of that and check pout the photos carefully to see if it works for your needs.
TINY HOUSE
We have a fabulous but barebones Craftsman tiny house (no bathroom) on the property that shares a bath with the main cabin. It has its own little porch and a fold-out daybed that comfortably sleeps two adults. It is a perfect place for writing or getting other thinking done, but has no electric or heat, so its more like glamping.
THE YURT
Our property also has an epic 30’ pacific Yurt set in the trees. Amazing for gatherings and workshops, it can be added to your rental for an additional fee of $150 per stay. No heat or electric in the yurt but we provide lanterns and you can use charged devices for music etc. There is a queen bed and 2 twin beds in the yurt. You can message us to add the yurt to your stay.
Phone reception is solid for Verizon and most other carriers.
We are about a 1/2 mile down a pretty narrow, semi-private dirt and gravel road. It is easily drivable by any car. We have a small parking lot by the cabin with parking for up to 7 vehicles.
Tobacco smoking is allowed outdoors only. Wildfire prevention is critical, so we ask you smoke only on the decks and driveway and be extra careful with sparks and butts.
We provide a selection of board games and books for all ages and there is a very unofficial badminton set up as well.
Guest access
You will have the property to yourself.
Our friendly care-takers live in the barn behind the main house. They can help you with any questions you may have during your stay., but will give you plenty of space.
Other things to note

SAFTEY: We happily welcome children and have small children of our own here often. We have taken some measures for child safety but the home is not 100% child proof. Additionally, please note that since our home is located in the woods there is some uneven terrain if you decide to go exploring. When using the Sauna we advise that you please read our safety recommendations next to the sauna. Please be advised that we are in the forest, and you may or may not encounter wildlife. Deer may sometimes approach the home and we ask that you please NOT feed them or approach them. Bears like to come out at night looking for food. If you encounter a bear during the day (which is rare but may or may not occur), please do NOT feed them or attempt to approach them. We are in the wild and kindly ask that you respect the wildlife, as the forest is their home too. We ask that you please keep all this in mind when you bring your pets. Your safety and that of your pets is our utmost concern, which is why we feel it is important that we make you aware of your natural surroundings. We can get snow and icy conditions here in the mountains. We urge you to be mindful of your safety. We have outdoor spaces which can become slippery with snow or ice as one would expect with these conditions. Please be mindful of your own saftey and your guests safety and proceed with caution when climbing stairs or using any outdoor spaces. Thank you.
ALLERGIES: We enjoy offering our guests a variety of snacks and cereals. If a food allergy or other allergies are a concern for you, we ask that you please reach out to us and we would be happy to accommodate you if possible.
SNOW STORMS/ELECTRICY: Time to time we get hit with snow storms up here as we are at 3,000 ft elevation. We also have times where the electricity goes out during a storm and even in the absence of a storm. We have a generator that will kick in automatically. There will be NO refund provided should this occur during your stay. We do advise four wheel drive with possible chains in case of heavy snow storms. We do not offer snow plowing at this time. If you arrive in a snow storm or are staying during a snow storm, please be mindful of your and your guests saftey. With snow comes slippery surfaces, please exercise caution with snow and sleet. We are NOT responsible for any damages to you, your guests or your property due to snow or falling debris or falling/fallen trees. This is out of our control and can happen in the woods during and after snow storms. You the Guest, acknowledge this and agree to this once you book with us.
QUIET TIME: Although our neighbors are at a distance, we ask that you please respect their privacy and peace. Quiet time begins at 9pm. Excessive noise is not allowed. Our neighbors are retired community members who deserve a quiet & peaceful space. We ask that you please respect this.
NO PARTIES: Our home caters to families and individuals looking for a peaceful yet fun, exciting and enriching get-a-away. If you are looking to party, then our home is not a good fit for you!!
