Located in the Sierra Nevada Foothills in Gold Country~ 15 min from Grass Valley, Nevada City or Colfax. Frolic has been an adventure for me in Saying Yes to life and the rewarding challenges it brings. I fell in love with the big oak, the pristine pond and the feral overgrown everything. It has been a workin' progress and lots of time to pause and listen. Frolic has been a great teacher in reminding me to PLAY, relax and go with the flow. I hope you can find the same joy and rejuvenation here.Stay in the most precious mini cabin on a huge pond with another smaller one right above it. It has a wood~burning stove, that heats the place, like a sauna should. It is used as both a sauna and sweet bunkhouse-summer cabin. Bring your own bedding but you have access to a comfy, dbl mattress that can be up in the little loft or on the benches down low. There is no power, so bring your headlamps, and solar or battery operated twinkle lights for the best glamping experience. It easily sleeps 2 and any extra guests would need to bring all tents and gear. There is a gorgeous new dock for lounging, swimming and accessing the more adventurous floating dock & boats. I need to update the photos to reflect the added bonus and lounge spaces! Expect to hear frogs, birdsong and animals. Depending on when you visit there may be blackberries, apples, cherry plums or pears to fill your belly with. You can also swim, lounge or fish on the pond and maybe catch dinner. This is a rustic retreat, made with many creative hands and lots of love over time. There can also be dangerous aspects of it all and is best for adventurous, fearless, and agile humans. (Use at your own risk) An example is the boat could use new Oars and wooden seats but usually i just put a towel under my bum. There could be slivers on the dock, even with seasonal sanding. There will likely be some spiders or possible ants in and around the cabin. I've never been hurt by them but often sweep them out, if they are bothering me. (I have a handy dandy spider catcher device;) I want to welcome that the animals live here also and we get to visit and play nicely. There are many colors of dragonflies dancing all over the water, hummingbirds flitting about and cattails growing abundantly around the edge. There is also some water grasses that can tickle you as you swim. The pond gets really deep and cold out in the middle. The top layer of water gets comfortable warm and just dive down a bit to get even cooler in the hot summer days. This water is spring fed and stays colder than the Yuba river, by the end of summer. The cabin has a porch for relaxing, reading and unwinding from the spin of the world. There is a constant sound of falling water, as it tumbles into the pond nearby. You may hear the neighbors who have their house across the pond thru the trees but you wont likely see them. Your friendly dog(s) welcome and please have them on a leash or voice commanded. If your dog likes to attack and chase things, this isn't the place for you. Overall this Frolic land is nourishing, playful and peaceful. All the magic is available to slow your pace and be in awe!
