Rustic mountain retreat - escape to a hand-built cabin in the woods | Cottage in Nevada City
1 Bedroom Cottage in Nevada City
Serenity Cabin (sleeps 2-4) is a 2-bedroom, handcrafted log cabin on a 200-acre developing eco-preserve in the heart of the Sierra Nevadas. Offering more privacy than our other cabins, Serenity Cabin is the perfect glamping-style getaway for those seeking to restore body, mind and spirit at a rustic mountain retreat center.
PLEASE NOTE BEFORE REQUESTING TO BOOK: Serenity Cabin does not have its own bathroom or running water inside the cabin, though a 5-gallon jug of water for washing and tea, coffee etc. is provided. There is a guest bathroom a short walk away at the main house with a hot shower, sink, and flush toilet, as well as clean outhouses across the meadow by the other cabins.
Serenity Cabin is equipped with a 2-burner propane camp stove (propane provided), mini fridge, outdoor sink, dining table with log benches, slab countertop, and numerous cookware and utensils. Each bedroom has a queen-sized bed. Outside there is a picnic table with charcoal BBQ, fire pit, and chairs for gathering. Please read ‘fire safety’ section below.
There is also a wood stove for heating with firewood and kindling provided. Directions for how to operate the wood stove are posted in the cabins, but if you would like assistance please let us know.
Please note the fee listed is for two people. For each additional guest there is a charge of $25.
Other things to note:
PET POLICY: Your well-behaved pets are welcome for a fee of $10 per pet, per night. Please note there may be other guests with pets on the property, so any pets you bring must get along with other animals and people.
CELL RECEPTION/INTERNET ACCESS: There is little to no cell reception on the entire property. Consider your stay an opportunity to disconnect from the virtual world and unwind. However, there is wifi available outside the main house if you need (a short walk away from the cabins).
VEHICLE ACCESS: Approximately 24 miles from Nevada City, California, the property is located about a mile down a gravel road. 4-wheel drive is required in wintertime (we are at higher elevation and frequently get snow), but the roads are accessible to any car in the warmer months.
SHARED SPACES: Geronimo, Shamballa, and Trinity Cabin are in close proximity, with communal fire pits, large charcoal BBQ (bring your own charcoal), a 16-foot slab picnic table and chairs nearby. If there are guests in the other cabins, please be mindful of sharing these spaces and keeping noise to a minimum. Serenity and Radiance cabins offer more privacy.
SMOKING/FIRE SAFETY: During high fire season (summer and early fall) we must be extremely careful with fires and smoking. Smoking is allowed on the cabin decks, fire pit and picnic areas, and in your vehicle but not in the outback on trails as it is prohibited by the local forest service.
OUTDOOR FIRE PITS: If you would like to build a fire in the outdoor pit there is a firewood fee of $20 per hour. **Please check in with us at the main house before you use the outdoor pit.***
Come see us at the main house for any questions between 8am and 9PM.
