Somerset, CA · 11 sites · Tents, RVs, Lodging

There is NOTHING like being in the wilderness of this area for a good re-centering of the soul! We have found it to be a true blessing for our family, and we hope you can experience this blessing as we share this space with you. We feel certain you will not be disappointed with our beautiful river canyon. Our property is situated right on the middle fork Cosumnes river. The swimming is awesome and the stars at night will put you into a state of awe! In the area there are many family owned wineries in the area, most of them offering free tasting! It’s a short drive to Tahoe and the Marshall gold discovery site as well as the historic hangtown Placerville. We are happy to make suggestions for local hiking areas, like the Devil's Slide "Gorge" only a 15 minute drive but like a trip to mini Yosemite. The Caldor Fire was VERY close to our property and a back burn was initiated nearby the our house (literally 200' away!). Our property became a pivotal point of fighting the fire in our community known as the “Ant Hill Army”. Ask us about the story!

Guests love staying here: "Such a lovely getaway! Our family of four and little dog thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Heartwood. The cabins are great, with comfortable (warm) beds, very clean and cozy. It’s well worth the visit even in the winter! Really appreciated being outdoors surrounded by Redwoods, hiking the trails around the property, the modern bathrooms with hot showers, and the indoor sitting area to make coffee in the mornings. Our stay was relaxing, memorable and special!" Please remember that we are in the woods and there is wildlife around. We don't want them to get into your food items, and recommend that you place food items in the enclosed common room or in the critter proof cupboards in the outdoor kitchen.

Jeremy was incredibly kind, helpful, and quick to respond to all of our questions before our trip. His directions were very detailed and made finding the property easy. When we arrived, Jeremy greeted us, made sure we had everything we needed, and let us know we could reach out anytime if we needed anything. He even had the kayaks ready for us down by the lake, which was such a nice touch! The views from the balcony were absolutely phenomenal, and we loved watching all the animals around the property. It was such a peaceful and beautiful place to stay.

The perfect little getaway! Great place to disconnect… but not too much🤣I love being outside, but still enjoy having a shower, stove, AC, and nice bed to sleep in. This was the perfect mix of the great outdoors and comfort! Ken’s place was clean and had everything we needed to hunker down and enjoy the space. We felt so isolated and at peace without being too far off the grid! Would recommend this place to anyone and everyone! Thanks, Ken, for a beautiful stay!

Laura was a great host, helpful and quick to reply. The cabin was very nice, and larger on the inside. The bathroom was even nicer than I expected, everything was clean and well kept. The location is a bit off the beaten path, with a short, winding mountainish drive, so it felt like a good retreat getaway from the city. Would definitely stay thete again!

I sent my daughter and her friends here for her 26th Birthday. They stayed in a bunk house for 6 and had the most amazing time. It's not often that this age group wants to get up and see the sunrise, but to my surprise my daughter and her friends, got up at 4:00 AM to take it in, pet some horse, and to go for a short hike! Loved this!

1 night at Audrey Edna Cabin at Alpine Ranch

This place is a real gem. It feels like staying in a hip Airbnb, but out in the middle of the wilderness. Some tips after having read through the other (very helpful) reviews. The cell service at the cabin is indeed great (we all had Verizon). The hike-in was steeper than I expected. We brought a wagon, but ended up deciding to carry everything in packs over two trips instead. Respect, though, to the people who were able to get a wagon up those slopes. The kitchen was very well-stocked. There was ample dinnerware for a group of 10. There were, however, only 6 mugs, which only meant we had to take turns having hot cocoa. But that’s really the only constructive feedback I have on this truly amazing property.

Absolutely LOVED this Hipcamp!! The property is pretty tucked so if driving solo it can feel a little eerie when it’s dark because it’s DARK and super quiet. I really appreciated and loved how there was a communal kitchen! Everything was really well kept and clean. I stayed in the sunshine cabin with my pup and this would have comfortably slept 2; although I noticed there is also a loft bed above so def could do 3! Pack a flashlight since the bathroom is next to the kitchen across the way. Also if going during rainy season I foresee there being a good amount of mud so don’t rely on slippers/sandals to get to the bathroom or kitchen! It was awesome seeing soo many banana slugs! My dad rented campsite #2 and it was also great. Honestly the host has this property set up really nice and provides what you need regarding running water, bathrooms, etc. 10/10 would definitely stay again and recommend!

1 night at Audrey Edna Cabin at Alpine Ranch

You can't find a better value anywhere! 2bdr/2ba cabin that's well-stocked with modern appliances but still rustic (cold water, no shower, etc). It's a great balance for a getaway. There is a microwave, joy! You'll have to heat your own water. We did have linens in plastic containers under each bed, but I wasn't sure how clean they were as there's no way to wash them. We went when it was 90 deg outside and it stayed cool inside. There's even a nice tower fan! The bed mattress for me was quite comfy. There's a HUGE telescope you can use, but there is a lot of city glow still. There's games, many are missing pieces, so bring your own entertainment. The view is amazing down into the valley and if you're lucky, the ocean -- but Karl likes to hide that. The hike up is steep but it's an open road. I'm very grateful this place exists and will definitely be going back! Would also love to help with some upgrades!
