Stories from the community

Front side of the cabin

3 nights at Lazy Bear Cabin

We had a wonderful stay at Jeff's cabin. Jeff was communicative and helpful. The cabin had all the basic necessities and worked well for my teenage daughter and myself. There was plenty of space to explore on the property, and the forest and creek areas were beautiful. If you travel during the summer months, be prepared for lots of mosquitoes. If you visit on a permissible burn day, I highly recommend using the fire pit for a campfire. It was a great way to end our trip. I suggest you bring your own extra toilet paper, towels, dish soap, and hand soap. Some of these items were provided, but it was nice to have extra since there are not any stores nearby. We look forward to visiting in the future.

Weekend Trip to Lazy Bear Cabin

We spent 1 evening and planned to hike in Soda Springs the next morning. The location and privacy we just what we were looking for. Very well equipped cabin!

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

Weekend Trip to Victoria Forest

Nice private campsite in shaded trees. Cabin, picnic table, and firepit are close to each other.

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!

Great combination of comfort with ruggedness. Perfect for our family. All the comforts of home to appease the wife but to also satisfy man's desire to reconnect with nature. Also super close to 80.

cute cabin overlooking the property

3 nights at Cosumnes River Somerset Camp

We enjoyed our stay on Noleen and Jobe’s beautiful land! The cabin next to the chicken coop was comfortable. (Be sure to purchase some fresh eggs!) The flush toilets and well water felt like luxuries for camping in a remote spot. The highlight was swimming and hanging out at the river all afternoon!

Lazy Bear Cabin

Weekend Trip to Lazy Bear Cabin

Oh man where do I start. I love this place it’s the first time my teen kids, boyfriend, and I went camping together. We spent 1 night passing through, and it was one of the best nights I had in along time. The cabin was fully equipped with pull out bed, kitchen with utensils, pots, pans plates, cups, fridge even seasonings. The bathroom has working amenities with hot water. This was great for my city teenagers. Tv had WiFi but we were having such a great time spending time with each other we didn’t care. It says that it fit 8 people it was 4 of us and not so comfortable for 4 grown people maybe for smaller kids but we adults slept outside under the stars and loved it. The host was really accommodating responded to every question timely and really friend.. he made us feel like home away from home.. if your looking for that out of the city get away with your other half or with family I highly recommend this cabin. One Love

1 night at Lazy Bear Cabin

Lazy Bear Cabin was the perfect cozy getaway for our little family! The location was not far off I-80 (but plenty far enough that you're nowhere near the noise), so it was easy to get to. We didn't use it as such, but it'd be the perfect base camp for Tahoe adventures or getting to the local ski resorts. In off-grid cabins like this, they don't always have running water, so that was a huge plus to have a sink, shower, and flush toilet. We really enjoyed spending the morning with coffee at the countertop bar that overlooks a forest of pine trees. Don't forget to bring your own linens including blankets and towels as this place didn't have any. The pullout sofa was comfortable enough but some may prefer to bring their own air mattress or sleeping pads. The road in was paved almost the entire way and easy for our truck camper to get to, but was dirt the last 1/10th of a mile. You probably want at least AWD in the winter months so you don't get stuck. Overall, we loved our stay here and would absolutely go again!

Victoria Forest

Weekend Trip to Victoria Forest

The cabin is located in a very private spot. Deana gave details message of everything and anything, and it was super helpful. We have t-mobile, signal was great in the area. We stayed at the cabin over Mother’s Day weekend. Weather was so perfect, around 40-60 degrees Fahrenheit. There were lot of flies and mosquitoes especially in the evening time (but it’s the experience of being outside). There is portable potty on site to use. We brought our solar shower bag, so we were able to take a warm shower at the outdoor shower area. We hiked at the Sierra Discovery trail, it’s very short and flat but lots to see, perfect for young kids. The cabin is cozy and comfortable. The location is so wonderful. Would give high recommendation for anyone who wants to enjoy the peacefulness of nature.

Weekend Trip to Cosumnes River Somerset Camp

We stayed at cabin 2 (all the camp sites were booked but by the time we arrived, some camp sites were free but had left the tent at home.) Camp sites are beautiful and more private. But we did love the "patio" side with the fire pit and table. Loved the stream on the property. Definitely go to the Cosumnes river gorge close by. Our dog loved running around off leash. Hosts were really gracious and helpful.

Perfectly snug cabin for me and my daughter. Gas stove for cooking and hot water for showers. Cabin warms up in the sun during the day so we didn't need a fire inside at night. But bring blankets! A good fire pit for s'mores and hot dogs. Nice exploring in the surrounding forest including a nearby creek! Nothing really close by so bring what you need.. including food! The owner is communicative, helpful and close-by if you need anything!

Cosumnes River Somerset Camp

1 night at Cosumnes River Somerset Camp

The site is so beautiful with 3 or 4 "beaches" that I'm sure will be even better once the river is less full. There are 8 tent sites and 2 cabins spread out on the property. I stayed in cabin 1 and it was very spacious and very cozy. It doesnt feel crowded or too secluded. I had an incident with my car tire as I was leaving but Jolene's husband(sorry I don't remember your name)was incredibly helpful getting things fixed.Its such a soecial spot that I don't really want tell you how wonderful it is so that I can save it for me and my friends. 10/10 will be back many times.

Weekend Trip to Cosumnes River Somerset Camp

This was our first Hipcamp experience and it was an absolute joy. I am completely jealous of their little slice of heaven. The cabin was roomy and comfortable. There was a table, chairs, and an umbrella, along with a fire pit. There was a bathroom right next to the cabin for convenience. Their family was welcoming and the boys and farm dog were adorable. Even with the family living on the property we always felt that we had our privacy. The grounds were beautiful with a creek running in the back. They have multiple options for tent camping backed up to the creek as well cabin lodging options. We had a lovely experience and will definitely be back.

We loved our time at Jeff's cabin. The cabin has everything you need to live a comfortable off grid life. We had snow on the ground durong iur visit that made the place feel tranquil and relaxing. We would totally go again. In my opinion the bed isn't the most comfortable so maybe bring a air mattress to make it a little more cozy. Overall this is a great place with everything you need. Jeff is very responsive and helpful. We'll be back again when I can wander through the trees. Thanks

The stay was amazing, the directions were also perfect. It’s a very cute cabin perfect for a weekend getaway. We loved the outdoor bathtub- we actually booked it for the outdoor hot tub but unfortunately it wasn’t functional because of the weather but we had fun anyway even without it because it was cold outside and also raining. The bath tub made up for it !!

1 night at Lazy Bear Cabin

Cute little get away! My last experience using Hipcamp was in a yurt which I enjoyed thoroughly but definitely needed a little more amenities such as a running toilet haha and that’s one of the things I got with Jeff’s cabin! Come around this time and maybe you’ll be gifted with a pretty significant amount of snow! Recommended to bring your own bedding, towels, maybe some toilet paper in case hehe and WOOD! My husband and I forgot toilet paper and wood but Jeff was very accommodating and kind! We did have a very minor issue but was it resolved quickly! Also if you are not good with maintaining the fire during winter temps, consider a heated blanket. I had fun keeping the coals alive hah. Lastly a queen size air mattress fits.

Cosumnes River Somerset Camp

This land was home to the Miwok, then European and Chinese miners, then a cattle rancher. It was also home to a former nun who quit the dominican order to purchase this land for inner city kids to have a chance to ride, swim, hike and fish. We moved here in 2017 and purchased this land with the main goal to raise our large family here, but we have found that good things must be shared! 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. We have 2 sleeping cabins and several tent sites (can be rented separately). The cabins offer a rustic/minimalist type vibe - bring your own bedding/pillows to sleep on the comfy futon. A table and chairs are provided for the cabins. Tent sites each have a wood table (bring your camp chairs) and a fire pit when the season is open for burning. 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 cabins (litererally 200' away!). It is still as beautiful as ever but please know there are lots of slash piles. Falling trees and burned up stump holes are also a risk and it is presumed campers will be cautious and use at their own risk. We ask campers to use our property only for land use and river access, NO up or down river access is permitted AT ALL. Please don't hesitate to shoot us a message if you have any questions!
