This 30 ft diameter Pacific yurt sits on 5 private acres with an occupied family home and granny unit nearby. Strategic design and landscape provide privacy for all. Large pine, cedars and oaks surround the living areas and we have done clearing for fire safety without compromising the environment. There is an airconditioned bedroom inside, a sleeping loft with queen bed, a bath house with shower, connected by a deck in back and a small front covered patio. Access to the vegetable garden is included. We are happy to share summer vegetables. There are great night time sky views and sunsets as well. A new addition is a swamp cooler in the main room. The yurt is a lovely space.

The year round pond and creek along with level terrain make this a rare gem in Nevada County. A 5 acre parcel, but feels much larger as it is bordered by a couple hundred acre cattle/horse ranch and Wolf Creek. I love my little slice of paradise and look forward to sharing it with you. I live on site about 100 yards down the hill from the site and the terraced terrain make it quite private. I am readily available to answer any questions or help how ever I can, but am also just as happy giving my guests their space.

Weekend Trip to Tailwinds Ranch - Bunkhouse

Great location in a private setting! The bunkhouse was clean and stocked with amenities. The outdoor space had a nice layout with a hammock, lawn chairs, and fire pit. Highly recommended!

The cabin has a great little deck that gets tons of sun. (And at night it makes for a good stargazing platform!)

The cabin was great and a serene location! Everything was clean and as stated. We ended up sleeping on the futon as the loft seemed a little risky (no guard rail), something to keep in mind if you have little ones. We would happily visit again.

Geoffrey is a fantastic host! He ensured we arrived safely, even though we were late. The dome is beautiful and cozy. The land is gorgeous, and the horses and pigs add a lot of fun.

Deana’s place is perfect for anyone looking for private glamping in Nevada City that’s far enough from town to feel like a recalibrating retreat. I loved all the privacy and having so much space to let my dogs roam around the property without having to worry about interrupting anyone. As others have mentioned, the mosquitos are bad. We brought a couple thermacell’s with us and they eventually helped. We only noticed them at dusk.

Weekend Trip to Sacred Valley Ranch Retreat

Although our trip was just a short evening experience and we had to return home earlier than planned, our time at the dome tent was unforgettable. The setting provided complete privacy, breathtaking natural scenery, and incredible star gazing that made the night feel magical. We also loved the chance to feed the pigs — such a fun and unique feature of the property. The host was exceptionally communicative and responsive, making everything seamless despite our brief stay. We look forward to returning for a longer visit in the future!

Idyllic, safe (for kids), private spot, close to incredible hikes, swimming holes, in the middle of the forest. The cabin was great in that you didn't need to set up a tent, and it shielded us from the elements. Otherwise it is still just like camping!

Weekend Trip to Sacred Valley Ranch Retreat

Wonderful camp site, fun drive to the location (not suitable for low cars), accommodations were comfortable, and everything was clean. Shower has low water pressure BUT it was still awesome! Camp stove worked great (be sure to bring all of your cooking stuff). Unfortunately the fridge was only for two night stays and we almost had a horrible experience if we didn't bring ice. I suggest you bring a large ice chest to hold everything food related or else you'll be stressing!

We had a ton of fun. Geoffrey was helpful with any questions we had and was very nice! We were able to hike to hidden falls regional park. It was great! We also saw deer, wild horses, cows, and got to feed his pigs. Highly recommend this spot for a relaxing glamping experience

This spot was really beautiful and close to a lot of swimming and hiking. The land is surrounded by lots of trees and the small cabin suited our family’s sleeping needs. The porta potty did its job and even had air freshener. Since it was July, fires were not allowed. The only downside was the big amount of mosquitoes, but that’s nature.

My family and I enjoyed tent camping at tailwinds ranch. We loved the privacy and relaxation that the site provided. For those in our group that preferred cabin camping, the tiny home was super convenient. It was very clean and fully stocked with the basics as well as water and electricity. The owner is super responsive and helpful. This campsite is perfect for a larger group or multiple families. The place felt cozy and peaceful. 10/10 recommend!

We loved the tiny green home as my four year old loving called it. A perfect peaceful long weekend getaway and so convenient to rivers, lakes, Nevada City and the 80! Felt remote but also so close to everything. Really appreciated the host’s recommendations.

Nice and relaxing spot for a few days of quiet time. Outdoor shower was a bit wonky (large bag with a hose) and cumbersome but nothing too tough! The door looked like maybe a bear had tried to get in recently (which I actually think is cool, haha) and the fire pit was a nice place to relax in the cool evenings! Overall, rad spot!

We had our annual Camping trip with our 4 & 9 year old grandsons. It was a perfect spot for us. They lived the fishing and frogs! We spent time in the canoe and on the paddle board. The trailer was also a great refuge from the heat and had all the amenities we needed to make it cozy and easy. You will love the peaceful pond! We also made a journey to the Yuba (close) so there are plenty of fun things to do here. Thanks for being such a responsive host Nicole!

Tailwinds had everything you needed with a super easy contactless check-in. The house was in a good shady spot with ample room for the dogs. The host left the AC on which was a super nice touch. We did turn it off as the temperature was very comfortable for us.

Camp was exactly as described. I loved it. Very private and I loved being able to walk to the pioneer trail to hike. The Yuba River-Emerald Pools was only a 20 minute drive. Gorgeous area. Will be back!
