Learn more about this land: R3 is a rustic studio/cabin located in a private corner of our half acre property, walking distance to historic Nevada City, CA. From its humble beginnings as a simple camping platform, R3 is now fully enclosed with a stunning glass front wall which preserves the great view from the site. A small kitchen area and bathroom with flush toilet and shower complete a private and cozy space. There is much local history and many cultural activities to enjoy in Nevada County. Outdoor pursuits include hiking, road and mountain biking, river and lake access, skiing, and many more, all nestled in the beautiful Sierra Nevada Foothills. Nevada City, and it's sister town, Grass Valley, are Gold Rush Victorian gems, boasting a variety of shopping venues, many fine eateries, and eclectic "watering holes" featuring craft brews, local wines and tasty cocktails. Live music in many locations adds an upbeat and lively ambiance. Unwind with a day at the river or lake, take a road or mountain bike ride, or a hike on one of the many local trails.In addition to the 12x16 cabin there is a small porch, picnic table, and hammock for guests to use. A charcoal BBQ is available when there is no fire ban in effect. Parking is available for no more than 2 cars.

Beautiful nest in the woods
The cabin is a beautiful place nestled in the middle of the woods. It's very comfortable, and Russ was a very attentive host. I highly recommend it! This was my second time staying here, and it's conveniently close to town.

Loved it!
We had a great night with our large dog at Russ’s mini cabin. He greeted us when we arrived and was super helpful with local hikes and restaurant recommendations. Theres plenty of blankets, a heater, a camp stove and water heater, outlets and wifi, and a hot shower as well. Overall an amazing experience!

They were very welcoming. The hut was very clean and quaint! I was surprised to find a small stove, electric kettle, and coffee! It was very warm at night because of the heater and heated shower. We loved the patio lights too! Very cute and peaceful.

The Cutest and Coziest Cabin 🏕️✨
Wow. I cannot recommend staying at Russ's Roadside Retreat enough. 🌞First of all, Russ exudes sunshine and was a wonderful host-- greeted us on site and provided recommendations for our stay. The cabin is beyond dreamy. We encountered quite a bit of rain during our stay but the insulated walls and space heater kept us cozy the entire time. Nothing beats watching the rain and twinkling outdoor lights through the glass windows at night. As other hipcampers have noted, the shower was perfect and heated up super fast. We enjoyed making breakfast in our kitchen nook and fresh flowers on the windowsill when we arrived was the cutest touch. The location is perfect! A short 20-minute walk to the most charming town with trails nearby. I had the perfect birthday weekend and can't wait to come back again soon. I felt myself tear up as we packed up our belongings on our last day... that's how special this little cabin is. And for all my swifties... it's literally the Folklore cabin. ✨ Thank you, Russ, for carving this piece of heaven for us to enjoy!

Second stay
Russ is the epitome of what a hipcamp Host is. He loves his land and his cabin and he shares is so openly and with such loving and zen like touches. I stayed an extra night just so I could come up after work and have peace. It rained again like crazy, but the vibe was so so good. Absolutely will keep coming back here
