A hot spot in the Gold Rush, our property once was a 1850 homestead, a 1970 back to the land artist's dream. A stone mason built the main cabin, renovated by my stair builder/musician father and artist/chef mother and I built the straw bale cabin. It's an wildlife highway with coyotes, foxes, red tailed hawks, bears, mountain lion, deer, jackrabbits, and lots of birds. I love to share it with HipCampers! Learn more about this land: Nestle into our woods next to water tanks, with easy access flat camping spots. All Corners property is unusual in that it has meadows, grey pine ecosystems as well as mixed conifer fir/pine/madrone forests.  Walk to Ring of Bone Zendo, Mini local neighborhood playground and trails on BLM property. 3 miles from North Columbia Schoolhouse, 4 miles from Ananda Village, close to Malakoff Diggins State Park. A very quiet place to stage your Yuba Watershed adventure.  Mountain biking and hiking on dirt roads, lots of wildlife.

Perhaps the most remarkable single thing about this land is how it is so wild while being just a short trip to lively Nevada City. Wild enough that you can look into the distance without seeing lights, listen into the distance and hear the river, and walk half the day without seeing a soul. Whether you're looking for a restful place to hunker down for days with a book or a writing project, explore the landscape for a weekend without getting back in the car, gather with your people for some outdoors adventures, or just sleep in the woods each night while taking advantage of town during the day, you'll find magic here to suit. On offer is a sanctuary nestled in a very secluded expanse of land that stretches from ridgetop to river—a private wilderness just 3 miles from strange and wonderful Nevada City, an hour from Tahoe, 1.5 hours from Sacramento and 2.5 hours from the Bay Area. Here you will find. - miles of hiking and mountain biking trails on the land - 360 degree views of the Yuba watershed with epic sunsets - a year-round creek you can walk to Surrounded by oak, madrone, pine, fir and cedar forest, we are land tenders and village builders, nestled in several hundred acres of remote public and private wilds. We are in the midst of building an intentional neighborhood, so you might come upon some of our landmates as you walk around the land. Come visit us and enjoy a truly magical getaway. As you've likely heard, California has been home to many wildfires lately. It can sometimes be smokey here during fire season. We do not offer refunds for cancellations (apart from our normal cancellation policy) due to smoke or nearby fires unless there is an evacuation order. You can check the local air quality by going to airnow dot gov and entering 95959 as the zip code. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Beneath our lovely local towns of Grass Valley and Nevada City lay a nearly forgotten history and a nearly forgotten people, the Nisenan Indians. The Nisenan (pronounced nee-see-nan or nee-she-nan) are the original people of this place and their story and history is ripe for the telling. Because the gold rush seems to be the “beginning” of all current history books, we find it a perfect intersectional moment to tell the story of the people and culture who were here thousands of years before they met the gold rush head on. This is a brief introductory story of the Nisenan people. At a time when the local landscape was rich with Nisenan place names; at a time when the Nisenan people themselves were thriving and plentiful upon the land; before the coming of the California gold rush, before California even became a state, the Nisenan people had lived lives that were full of unique, cultural richness and great wealth here in their ancient homelands. They lived in ancient towns named Ostomah’, Woloyu, Wakadok, Panpakan and hundreds more. This landscape was laden with clean water, delicious food, strong medicine, pure spirit, ancient burial grounds, numerous animal species that are now gone, and was abundant with Nisenan families. Today, these ancient Nisenan towns lay beneath our modern towns of Nevada City and Grass Valley. It was unfortunate for the Nisenan that their territory would become ground zero for human greed and catastrophic changes that would soon befall them at the hands of the California gold rush. Tens of thousands of immigrants from every corner of the planet descended upon Nisenan lands to make their fortunes in the gold fields. Every tree was cut down to build the new towns and hundreds of miles of flumes, the large game herds were hunted to extinction, the natural food sources were destroyed by over population and later by cattle, and the salmon and the great rivers themselves were destroyed by hydraulic mining. Everything that the Nisenan relied on for survival was gone within the first two years of the gold rush. In addition to the environmental destruction of the land, the newly formed state of California’s own governor called for the extermination of the red race. Bounties were placed on American Indian heads. Indians were violently removed from their homes and died from murder, disease and starvation. Pockets of people survived here and there, sometimes because they had found a non-native citizen to be their champion; a champion who would be their voice and help navigate the new world for them. In the case of the Nisenan who lived within the Yuba and Bear River Watersheds, Belle Douglas was one such champion. Belle Douglas was a founding member of the Native Daughters of the Golden West (NDGW). Belle saw the abuses that were put upon the Indians and stood up to be their voice. The Nisenan could not read or write. Documents penned by Belle’s caring hand are contained within the local Nevada County Historical Society that show decades of activism on her part. It was directly because of Belle’s tenacity with the Bureau of Indian Affairs that the Nevada City Rancheria became a federally recognized reservation in 1913 via an executive order from then President Woodrow Wilson. The Nevada City Rancheria Nisenan Tribe held itself as a domestic foreign nation up until it was illegally terminated in 1964 and its reservation lands were sold at auction. Today, the surviving Nisenan families are ghosts in their own homelands. Being landless is extremely detrimental for the Tribal membership and the continuance of their culture. The Nisenan are trying very hard to raise their visibility with the non-native local community. To tell the story of this place prior to the gold rush is to give the Nisenan a spotlight on their past and a new focus on their future. Not only do the Nisenan survive today, but through all the devastation of the past, many of their old landmarks remain intact. Many of their sacred sites were destroyed during the mining devastation of the gold rush. Most of their sacred burial grounds are held by private property owners. But, a few are accessible within the parameters of both cultural districts of Nevada City and Grass Valley. *Nisenan medicine rock – Broad Street, Nevada City *Old reservation land of the Nevada City Rancheria – Cement Hill, Nevada City *Nisenan Burial Grounds – Cement Hill, Nevada City *Firehouse No.1 Museum that holds Nisenan photos, baskets and regalia – 214 Main Street, Nevada City *Nisenan Tribute Site on the Deer Creek Tribute Trail that includes interpretive signage, petroglyph art and Angkula Seo suspension bridge – Champion Mine Road, Nevada City *Numerous springs that were central to Nisenan culture – located in many places (Cement Hill, Under Sierra Nevada Hospital, etc.) *Nevada County FairGrounds is an ancient trade place for the Nisenan and place for 7-year trade events – McCourtney Road, Grass Valley *Northstar House is the site of the old Chief Weimar’s main town site – Old Auburn Hwy, Grass Valley *Loma Rica was the site of an old burial ground and Nisenan town site – Brunswick Road, Grass Valley *Empire Mine State Historic Park was the site of another Nisenan town – Empire Road, Grass Valley *Sierra College Nevada County Campus sits on another Nisenan town site – Sierra College Road, Grass Valley *Site of the Holt Brother’s Saw Mill where a war happened with the Nisenan – Old Hwy 20, Grass Valley *Oustomah was placed in the sidewalk in bronze letters to solidify the name of the Indian town that Nevada City is now on top of – Broad Street, Nevada City *The old Nevada City dump site where Chief Kelly lived is now a co-housing complex – Broad Street, Nevada City Today, in 2022, the descendants of these Nisenan people continue to fight for justice, inclusion and visibility and equally important, for the justice and rights for this land. For those visiting who have the inspiration to do so, please take a minute to imagine what this place was like before the time of great destruction and then overlay that vision where you’re standing today.

We take great pride in extending a warm and welcoming space for all our visitors and extending the invitation to campers was a great next step. We have listings ranging from yurts to shipping containers, an old water tower converted to a vintage trailer and canvas tents. We are based in between the middle fork of the Yuba river right where it meets up with Oregon Creek. If you like a long walk it is 2.5 miles down the dirt road to Oregon Creek and the middle fork of the Yuba. Driving takes 5 to 10 mins. The other direction is the largest lake in our county Bullards Bar Reservoir and Emerald Cove Marina. We are 1 mile down Marysville Rd. from a launch called dark day. There is a trailhead at the top of overflow boat parking for a public swimming hole on the lake. On our property, we have a main house with its own private facilities such as a kitchen, shower, and bath. On the land, we have 9 total unique cabin and canvas tent structures converted into boutique-like campsites. We have an epic outdoor entertaining kitchen and patio with an outdoor pizza oven and a little dog rinse behind the outdoor shower. The bathhouse is right across the way and provides a private but shared guest shower house, tub and sink. Like anywhere in the woods there is an hour at sunset when you may have mosquitoes down near the sites in the spring and some of the summers depending on the year. We have a natural spray for that or fans in the kitchen. Off the path, you may find poison oak in the thick of the woods. So please stay on the marked trails.

A hot spot in the Gold Rush, our property once was a 1850 homestead, a 1970 back to the land artist's dream. A stone mason built the main cabin, renovated by my stair builder/musician father and artist/chef mother and I built the straw bale cabin. It's an wildlife highway with coyotes, foxes, red tailed hawks, bears, mountain lion, deer, jackrabbits, and lots of birds. I love to share it with HipCampers! Learn more about this land: Nestle into our woods next to water tanks, with easy access flat camping spots. All Corners property is unusual in that it has meadows, grey pine ecosystems as well as mixed conifer fir/pine/madrone forests.  Walk to Ring of Bone Zendo, Mini local neighborhood playground and trails on BLM property. 3 miles from North Columbia Schoolhouse, 4 miles from Ananda Village, close to Malakoff Diggins State Park. A very quiet place to stage your Yuba Watershed adventure.  Mountain biking and hiking on dirt roads, lots of wildlife. You'll start your slowed-down adventure as soon as you drive 3 miles down Jackass Flats road, through historic mining areas and into a literary 'hood that has homed Gary Snyder, Allen Ginsberg and Governor Moonbeam.

Perhaps the most remarkable single thing about this land is how it is so wild while being just a short trip to lively Nevada City. Wild enough that you can look into the distance without seeing lights, listen into the distance and hear the river, and walk half the day without seeing a soul. Whether you're looking for a restful place to hunker down for days with a book or a writing project, explore the landscape for a weekend without getting back in the car, gather with your people for some outdoors adventures, or just sleep in the woods each night while taking advantage of town during the day, you'll find magic here to suit. On offer is a sanctuary nestled in a very secluded expanse of land that stretches from ridgetop to river—a private wilderness just 3 miles from strange and wonderful Nevada City, an hour from Tahoe, 1.5 hours from Sacramento and 2.5 hours from the Bay Area. Here you will find. - miles of hiking and mountain biking trails on the land - 360 degree views of the Yuba watershed with epic sunsets - a year-round creek you can walk to Surrounded by oak, madrone, pine, fir and cedar forest, we are land tenders and village builders, nestled in several hundred acres of remote public and private wilds. We are in the midst of building an intentional neighborhood, so you might come upon some of our landmates as you walk around the land. Come visit us and enjoy a truly magical getaway. As you've likely heard, California has been home to many wildfires lately. It can sometimes be smokey here during fire season. We do not offer refunds for cancellations (apart from our normal cancellation policy) due to smoke or nearby fires unless there is an evacuation order. You can check the local air quality by going to airnow dot gov and entering 95959 as the zip code. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Beneath our lovely local towns of Grass Valley and Nevada City lay a nearly forgotten history and a nearly forgotten people, the Nisenan Indians. The Nisenan (pronounced nee-see-nan or nee-she-nan) are the original people of this place and their story and history is ripe for the telling. Because the gold rush seems to be the “beginning” of all current history books, we find it a perfect intersectional moment to tell the story of the people and culture who were here thousands of years before they met the gold rush head on. This is a brief introductory story of the Nisenan people. At a time when the local landscape was rich with Nisenan place names; at a time when the Nisenan people themselves were thriving and plentiful upon the land; before the coming of the California gold rush, before California even became a state, the Nisenan people had lived lives that were full of unique, cultural richness and great wealth here in their ancient homelands. They lived in ancient towns named Ostomah’, Woloyu, Wakadok, Panpakan and hundreds more. This landscape was laden with clean water, delicious food, strong medicine, pure spirit, ancient burial grounds, numerous animal species that are now gone, and was abundant with Nisenan families. Today, these ancient Nisenan towns lay beneath our modern towns of Nevada City and Grass Valley. It was unfortunate for the Nisenan that their territory would become ground zero for human greed and catastrophic changes that would soon befall them at the hands of the California gold rush. Tens of thousands of immigrants from every corner of the planet descended upon Nisenan lands to make their fortunes in the gold fields. Every tree was cut down to build the new towns and hundreds of miles of flumes, the large game herds were hunted to extinction, the natural food sources were destroyed by over population and later by cattle, and the salmon and the great rivers themselves were destroyed by hydraulic mining. Everything that the Nisenan relied on for survival was gone within the first two years of the gold rush. In addition to the environmental destruction of the land, the newly formed state of California’s own governor called for the extermination of the red race. Bounties were placed on American Indian heads. Indians were violently removed from their homes and died from murder, disease and starvation. Pockets of people survived here and there, sometimes because they had found a non-native citizen to be their champion; a champion who would be their voice and help navigate the new world for them. In the case of the Nisenan who lived within the Yuba and Bear River Watersheds, Belle Douglas was one such champion. Belle Douglas was a founding member of the Native Daughters of the Golden West (NDGW). Belle saw the abuses that were put upon the Indians and stood up to be their voice. The Nisenan could not read or write. Documents penned by Belle’s caring hand are contained within the local Nevada County Historical Society that show decades of activism on her part. It was directly because of Belle’s tenacity with the Bureau of Indian Affairs that the Nevada City Rancheria became a federally recognized reservation in 1913 via an executive order from then President Woodrow Wilson. The Nevada City Rancheria Nisenan Tribe held itself as a domestic foreign nation up until it was illegally terminated in 1964 and its reservation lands were sold at auction. Today, the surviving Nisenan families are ghosts in their own homelands. Being landless is extremely detrimental for the Tribal membership and the continuance of their culture. The Nisenan are trying very hard to raise their visibility with the non-native local community. To tell the story of this place prior to the gold rush is to give the Nisenan a spotlight on their past and a new focus on their future. Not only do the Nisenan survive today, but through all the devastation of the past, many of their old landmarks remain intact. Many of their sacred sites were destroyed during the mining devastation of the gold rush. Most of their sacred burial grounds are held by private property owners. But, a few are accessible within the parameters of both cultural districts of Nevada City and Grass Valley. *Nisenan medicine rock – Broad Street, Nevada City *Old reservation land of the Nevada City Rancheria – Cement Hill, Nevada City *Nisenan Burial Grounds – Cement Hill, Nevada City *Firehouse No.1 Museum that holds Nisenan photos, baskets and regalia – 214 Main Street, Nevada City *Nisenan Tribute Site on the Deer Creek Tribute Trail that includes interpretive signage, petroglyph art and Angkula Seo suspension bridge – Champion Mine Road, Nevada City *Numerous springs that were central to Nisenan culture – located in many places (Cement Hill, Under Sierra Nevada Hospital, etc.) *Nevada County FairGrounds is an ancient trade place for the Nisenan and place for 7-year trade events – McCourtney Road, Grass Valley *Northstar House is the site of the old Chief Weimar’s main town site – Old Auburn Hwy, Grass Valley *Loma Rica was the site of an old burial ground and Nisenan town site – Brunswick Road, Grass Valley *Empire Mine State Historic Park was the site of another Nisenan town – Empire Road, Grass Valley *Sierra College Nevada County Campus sits on another Nisenan town site – Sierra College Road, Grass Valley *Site of the Holt Brother’s Saw Mill where a war happened with the Nisenan – Old Hwy 20, Grass Valley *Oustomah was placed in the sidewalk in bronze letters to solidify the name of the Indian town that Nevada City is now on top of – Broad Street, Nevada City *The old Nevada City dump site where Chief Kelly lived is now a co-housing complex – Broad Street, Nevada City Today, in 2022, the descendants of these Nisenan people continue to fight for justice, inclusion and visibility and equally important, for the justice and rights for this land. For those visiting who have the inspiration to do so, please take a minute to imagine what this place was like before the time of great destruction and then overlay that vision where you’re standing today.
