On the outskirts of the first gold mining claim in California, nestled in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada's, our property has treasures in it's own right for the crystal and mineral aficionado. Don't be surprised if you stumble upon naturally occurring quartz crystals along the creek that runs on our land, just below the cabin. Or maybe woodland creatures are more your thing. The Tahoe National Forest sits about 1/3 a mile away so many beautiful wildlife species call our place home, too.

My boyfriend and I had a great stay at Forest Serenity Retreat! The place is beautiful, the cabin has everything you need and Vanessa is a super helpful and lovely host! She helped us out with great recommendations for things do to and restaurants/bars, highly appreciated!

Great location. Close to Yuba River and Scott’s flat. Private location with all the amenities you might need (cookware, blankets, pillows, etc.) and plenty of space for our family of four!

Incredible place! The mosquitoes aren't as bad as other reviewers made them out to be. You can tell Vanessa and her family love the cabin and that makes it feel really comfortable. The creek is a little tricky to get into, but it's really nice having a little pool to cool off in.

Hipcamp is fun. The Cabin reflects the owners desire to provide what you need to have a fun experience. We met Vanessa and her two boys and they couldn't have been friendlier. It's a quiet location so a little noise , if your so inclined, won't bother the neighbors. Just arriving at the camp is an adventure in itself., don't forget the Red Fence.

The mosquitos were terrible. We booked 3 nights but only stayed one because we got eaten alive. Even just opening door to go in and out of cabin to get our dinner they would get in. There was no escaping. I had hopes in morning that I could enjoy being outside but it didn’t get any better even in the morning. We couldn’t have a fire which I knew was seasonal but that is one camping thing we look forward to. The cabin itself looks nicer in pics posted than it actually is. It’s very small and we squeezed in 4. I would even try 5. . The cabin actually looks glued together in places. The kitchen set is great, Outhouse clean, and shower is on their property up hill. The dirt road is a little rough if you have a low clearance vehicle. However, Vanessa reassured me that a lot of low clearance cars have made it. She is a nice host that communicates well it just didn’t work for us! Maybe it would fit others with lots of mosquito repellent and a nice campfire.
