CedarSong Sanctuary Cabin on 2Ponds
Excellent site to get some much needed R&R. I would recommend this if you are looking for a homey retreat outside with mother nature. However there will be bugs in and around the cabin as expected since you are outside :) The site is pretty isolated just one neighbor but far enough that you cannot see them through the trees. There is a barky dog but she is super friendly and actually came by to say HI! One thing that would make the place even better is if some of the overgrown areas was tighten up to improve the amazing views! Overall great experience outdoors and I would highly recommend this if you want to relax outdoors

CedarSong Sanctuary Cabin on 2Ponds
After a beautiful drive down the mountain road I was promptly greeted by my host Matia. She was exceptionally helpful and super friendly! The property itself was precisely what the doctor ordered, sounds of the adjacent creek, huge pines and a stunning pond with ducks and fish! Some of the true highlights lie in the sauna and the outdoor tub that has cold creek water siphoned into it, a great combo back to back! Overall it’s a great place to write, take nature walks, meditate and have a cold beer in peace. I recommend for a solo trip (I had my dog) or a couples retreat. I enjoyed every minute and aim to return!

Cozy little cabin in the woods
The site was simple and remote just like we wanted. There are neighbors but they are far enough away and quiet so you dont really notice unless they drive down the main road. We did meet some curious pups that decided to investigate the strangers on our last morning (very nice, they just walked around sniffing everything).
The cabin was nice and cozy, we didn't have any issues with bugs on the inside either. The wood burning heater for the sauna building (the cabin is used for this as well) heats very effectively, make sure to crack a window though if you use it.
The road to get to the property is partially gravel/dirt so if it is rainy or snowing, be warned. There is a steep gravel hill that would need 4x4 if it was snowing or muddy. My Camry was able to do it no problem in the drier conditions.
It’s eerily quiet at night and the stars are nice and bright. It’s also incredibly dark since the nearby houses have minimal external lighting, definitely bring along some headlamps if you plan to walk around. There is a lovely little stream that drains into the pond that provides a nice ambient soundtrack at all times.
Matia was super friendly and came down to greet us after we arrived. She provided some extra firewood for the heater and brought down the fire pit for us to use (the area was cold and wet so fire risk was super low ymmv depending on time of year). She described the property and gave us a little tour, answering any questions we had. The restroom consists of nature for #1 and a seat and compost bucket for #2. This property is more for those that want to disconnect with minimal levels of creature comforts. A cozy roof is about the extent.
All in all, it was exactly what we wanted and would consider coming back again.

Calming retreat by the pond
This was the sweetest little cabin on a beautiful pond. We visited in the middle on winter and it seems like this property would be a perfect place to see the changing of the seasons.
The cabin was next to a small stream that ran into the larger pond. The sounds of the water trickling by and the birds singing made for an amazingly relaxing escape. We spent most of our time out on the deck relaxing but there were great hiking trails and the closest town was picturesque. We would stay here again in a heartbeat.

Amazing hidden getaway!
CedarSong Cabin is great, overlooking the lake with a little waterfall next to it, so serene. The cabin is small but very comfortable, lots of places to store items. The host was fantastic and really good directions. We will definitely come back.

Wondrous pondside getaway
We spent 3 nights at this beautiful location. It all comes down to what you’re looking for. We wanted submersion & privacy. The little cabin is perfect for two people & would be too small for three. The deck overlooks the pond. On a nice day you can spend hours reclining with a book or the like & let the energy of the place fill you with peace. The cabin itself is a clever structure with comfort & some convenience but the area surrounding is rustic & overgrown.
We brought a Single propane burner which we used right on the deck to cook our meals. Everything was perfect for us.
The surrounding area has lots to offer with nearby Seven Trails hike, Rollins lake beach, Nevada City, Colfax.
We were lucky to stumble across CedarSong. Each day there was serene & happy.
