1 night at Blue Belly Cabin

We went to a show in Manton. The cabin was perfect for us to stay the evening. The cabin was quiet and was a set-up from camping. We enjoyed our stay in cabin, being let friendly was a plus. The kitchen was well an appointed and we were able to make meals on site. The outdoor gas fire pit was nice. this is a rustic cabin but a nice stay.

Weekend Trip to Mill Creek Resort

Very peaceful land for campsite setup with lots of trees. Restrooms were very clean with flush toilets. We had the sweetest tasting water from their potable water faucet. The cost of the campsite was reasonable. It was raining heavily from late afternoon and we didn’t have any sort of large tarp to spend our evening outside the tent so we ended up waiting in the car for a long time. It would have been great if there was some sort of shelter or community kitchen kind of area where people can cook and spend time on the days when it’s raining. Would definitely recommend this campsite on sunny days

Weekend Trip to Mill Creek Resort

We had a great two-night stay in the vintage camper van! It rained a lot Saturday night, but the van kept us dry and warm. Very effective space heater! It was stocked with many great amenities like various cookware, a kettle, a French press, etc. We were able to cook some delicious meals in the van. There was no wine opener or hand soap, however. There were multiple sets of sheets and pillowcases, so that felt clean and organized. We didn't get a chance to use the outdoor cooking supplies because of the rain, but that was nice to have! The camper ceiling is a bit low, so if you are taller (6'1 and above), be mindful of your head. The showers take quarters, so plan accordingly if you want to use them. Overall, a cozy stay!

1 night at Private Retreat Ranch Getaway !

This land is absolutely beautiful and gorgeous views over the field. Sydney and Jim are very friendly and welcoming hosts! We loved that we were able to shower here and even enjoy a fire! Definitely recommend, just make sure you go through the right gate!! I made that mistake lol.

2 nights at Peter's Forest Vacation Rentals

Pretty campground. Staff was very accommodating. We practically had the place to ourselves. Worked well for a home base for Lassen.

Weekend Trip to Blue Belly Cabin

This place was amazing. Had some deer visit every single day. Brought the telescope and we were able to see Jupiter and the moons. The property is absolutely comfortable and Charming. We enjoyed a fire in the living room while we played games at night. Any negative remarks have seen regarding cobwebs or it seeming like somebody lives there? I don't know. I thought it was an extremely Soulful cabin experience with more Comforts that I'm used to at a cabin. If you're looking for a polished condo airbnb? You probably wouldn't be searching a cabin in this area. Hahaha. We will absolutely be back. This place is obviously run by artists, and it sure shows

It was a great spot for kids near Lassen National park.

3 nights at Fenders Ferry Cabin

The cabin was really nice for our family. Clean, comfortable and quiet location. Great getaway!

Weekend Trip to Peter's Forest Vacation Rentals

The cabin was cozy and warm and made for a comfortable stay on a cold spring night. Our hosts were friendly and accommodating and I bet this place would be loads of fun with a big group in the summertime. Beware that Google Maps sent us to the next road down, but if you follow the signs the campground is easy to find.

4 nights at Private Country Escape

Great little spot. Right next to a tiny home & a cabin. Very quiet when no one else was there. RV was a great size & was stocked with all the comforts of home. Loved being able to have my furballs join me!!! They were very comfy. Would stay again.

This was a wonderful and peaceful place to spend a few evenings. I was fortunate enough to get clear evening skies and able to capture some beautiful deep space images with my telescope.

Cabins in Northern California guide

Overview

Northern California’s diverse geography means cabin-goers have many options for a relaxing getaway, whether you’re looking for a cozy place to hole up or a base for outdoor adventures. For the cozy factor, head to the misty coast near Mendocino or Eureka, where Humboldt Redwoods State Park and other parks boast towering Redwood groves to explore before warming up in a redwood cabin. In the mountains near Lake Tahoe, you can find slope-side A-frame cabins for a ski trip or summertime hiking escape. At Shasta Lake, cabin resorts provide access to swimming, boating, and water-skiing, while in Sonoma, you can find cabins near the Russian River in towns such as Guerneville. South of San Francisco, cabins near Santa Cruz offer proximity to both mountains and wide beaches like Seacliff State Beach. Most of the northern coastline is cool year-round, and Winters are wet. Inland, summers are hot and dry with typically mild, wet winters.
