About this cabin rental

Whether you enjoy outdoor activities or just want to relax on our deck overlooking the river, you will love this place. Hike the trails nearby, swim, kayak, and picnic at one of many beautiful mountain lakes, gaze at the Sierra Buttes, fish and enjoy the local swimming holes on the Yuba River, or just relax with a view of the river and the Tahoe National Forest. Perfect for a family vacation or group of friends. Great for tele-commuting with a view -- if your boss will let you!

During winter it's a great location to avoid the crowds of the Tahoe area and is great for cross country skiing, snow shoeing, snowmobiling, or sledding with the family. Or just relax by the cozy fire. Borrow our snowshoes and poles or our sled and have some fun.

Enjoy time on the riverside deck, fish on the river below, and sleep to the relaxing sound of the river. Enjoy the restaurants in the picturesque mining town of Sierra City or Downieville or buy groceries at the local Country Store and cook or barbecue at the cabin. Ride your bikes around town, ride the single tracks on your mountain bike, or ride your road bike up Gold Lake Road along many gorgeous lakes.

New: Electric Vehicle charging available if arranged in advance.

Check out our low weekly pricing - may be better to spend a week - there is lots of see and do in the area. Telecommute from the cabin for a few days while the rest of your family enjoys a longer vacation.

There are two bedrooms and two full bathrooms. One king bed, one queen bed, and a queen size air mattress that can go in either room or the living room. One bathroom has a shower, the other has a bathtub with a shower head. The second bedroom has a private entrance to the hall bathroom. There is access to the entire house, except the garage. Living space is about 1200 square feet.

The TV is an old 35 inch model but it is set up with a ROKU box and both Netflix and Amazon Prime Video subscriptions so you can enjoy great movies, TV shows, news, weather, and music. Although there is no cable TV, most broadcast networks (ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, ESPN, etc.) have apps on the ROKU so you can watch those networks live if you have a cable subscription at home. Plug your music player to the stereo system (bring adaptor if required). VHS, CD, and Cassette players are also available.

You are welcome to use the gas barbecue on the back deck facing the river and the washer and dryer in the hall bath. Connect your phones and laptops to our WiFi network for fast internet connectivity.

You may borrow our kayak to enjoy on the lakes nearby (not the river). Fits two adults and a child or dog. Please arrange for kayak ahead of time if interested.

Guests have access to the whole cabin, except the garage.

Notes
For holidays or weekends from June to October we have a 3 night minimum (except with short notice if the dates are still available or if only 2 nights are available on the calendar)

In cases where we have another guest checking in or out on the same day, I need to check our housekeeper's schedule before confirming your reservation request. If our housekeeper's schedule requires a later check-in time or earlier checkout time, I will check with you before confirming your booking. Sorry for this inconvenience. On the positive side, we often have flexible checkin/checkout times if our housekeeper's schedule allows it.

Note: During busy times of the year, if you check in or check out on a Sunday, we may require checkout by 11 am or check in at 6 pm due to availability of the cleaner.

The cabin, including its decor, is from the 60s. Most of our guests appreciate the "vintage" look. Just note it's not a modern home and it is rustic. We have formica and linoleum. We don't have a dishwasher or a garbage disposal. Also, our heaters sometimes make noise when they expand and contract (but we have electric heaters as back up if that bothers you).

There is no big grocery store nearby. It's part of the appeal of the small town. We recommend you shop for groceries at home or on the way up in Auburn, Grass Valley, or Marysville.

If you are coming for snow in the winter please check the weather and snow levels or ask Francisco ahead of time. We sometimes don't have snow at cabin level - depending on the weather and time of the year but you can usually find snow a short drive away. The cabin is at 4200 Feet. Bassetts Station and Gold Lake Road (5500 feet) are 5 miles away and the Yuba Pass SNO Park (6700 feet) is 11 miles away.

Not updated but very well maintained. Great location. Quiet. Great for pets. Very central to town and lakes. I like to make it easy on housekeeping when I leave and that’s problematic with no dishwasher and 10 am checkout. But owner was very nice about a later checkout. Overall very positive experience.

Stay was just as described with pictures and owner descriptions. The house was super comfy , clean and spacious for family time. The master bedroom was huge and bed was incredibly comfortable. Kitchen had ample appliances and anything you’d need for cooking. Refrigerator was clean and great size for all the food we brought for our hungry family. Thank you for an amazing stay.

We enjoyed our stay. The house had everything we needed. It was as described in listing. I loved being close to the river and listening to it’s soothing sounds while relaxing. The only issue was one in our party has allergies and had an issue with the down pillows. It was a great place to come back to after day outings up the Gold Lake Highway.

This cabin provided all we needed. It is very retro and brought back many memories. The king size bed was very comfortable. We would stay there again.
