**UPDATE: we've installed a couple new things for the 2025 summer season to keep things cool. A mesh screen door to catch that Westerly breeze, and a Hessaire evaporator cooler to keep you chill on hot afternoons!** Welcome to Lazy Dog Ranch! We only have one Yurt/rental on the property, but it is not your average yurt; this is glamping at its best. Set on 3 pristine acres in an open meadow surrounded by pine and cedar, our Yurt offers incredible views with a serene peaceful setting. This is the only rental on the property, so it is super private. You have your own separate driveway, and the owner's home is on the other side of the land, ensuring a very private stay. This is luxury yurting! The owner spared no expense in the buildout and furnishings. Every detail has been considered to make your stay unforgettable, including fast WiFi, well equipped kitchen & bath, high-end furniture and bedding, epic sunset patio views, great recommendations in town, and close proximity to the Yuba river (7 min drive to Edwards Xing) and all that Nevada City / Grass Valley has to offer.

Weekend Trip to Peace in the Pines

Renee's place was so peaceful and beautiful. The morning sun rising thru the trees created a wonderful place to sit and relax. Her trailer was cozy and well equipped. She generously provided so many things that made being there and cooking easy. Lots of spices, butter, oil, fresh fruit and treats. She really went above and beyond. The bed was very comfortable also. Renee was very friendly and let us know of local events going on. We would absolutely stay here again. Thank you Renee.

Very private and peaceful. Renee is a fabulous host she even provided my dog with baked treat and made us feel very welcomed. There's a nice ladybug trail just out back that is worth exploring! It was unfortunate that rain hit during our time here so outdoor activities were limited, but we hope to come back again soon!

2 nights at Warm & Cozy Luxury Yurt

David's yurt is beautiful and has absolutely everything you need for a very comfortable glamping experience! The land is picturesque and David is a very attentive and kind host. I traveled with a friend and the yurt was plenty big for both of us - even with a couple of very rainy days we felt like we had plenty of space, and my friend was happy to report that the blow up mattress was very comfortable. I will definitely be back!

I had a fantastic stay at Peace in the Pines! Renee was the most gracious host and her place was everything I could have hoped for: comfortable bed, well appointed kitchen, outdoor shower, deer and birds. Can't wait to return.

We absolutely loved camping on Renée’s land, in her beautifully appointed trailer. The nearby town of Nevada City is walkable or a 5 minute drive. We spent most of our time relaxing by the trailer and enjoying the beauty and quiet. Renée had left a basket of fresh vegetables which we so appreciated. You won’t miss not being able to have a campfire; the night sky is brilliant with stars. We wanted for nothing, the nice hot outdoor shower was lovely as well. We plan to definitely return

My stay at Peace in the Pines was truly wonderful. Renee is such a kind and welcoming host—upon my arrival, there was a basket of fresh fruits and vegetables from the land, which was such a thoughtful treat. The RV had everything I needed for a comfortable stay, and the outdoor area was both beautiful and private, allowing for a quiet and restful experience. I’m very grateful for my time here.

Weekend Trip to Peace in the Pines

We just wanted to disconnect from the world, so we weren't expecting to do much this trip. Renee was amazing. We had some fun adventures thanks to her recommendations. Panned some gold from the river as a nifty souvenir. And it was great to come back to a quiet cozy spot to wind down the day. This was also our first trip with our anxious pittie and Renee was super understanding. She gave us a lot of privacy, but she was attentive and surprisingly quick to respond when needed. She had an awesome garden basket to welcome us and literally anything we could have needed in the kitchen. Bring CDs to play music in the RV and highly recommend the Nisenan Tribute Bridge for beautiful forest views.

We had the joy of staying at Peace in the Pines twice again this summer and again, Peace in the Pines does not disappoint. It is always a luxury and always a privilege, and we always feel renewed and grateful upon departing. Do not miss the top of the Ladybug Trail at night for stars!

Weekend Trip to Warm & Cozy Luxury Yurt

The yurt.bathroom is exactly as shown in the photos. Comfy bed with clean sheets, reliable wi-fi, good circulation and cooling, good kitchen facilities for light cooking, mini speaker to pair with, great shower, nice seating areas inside and outside the yurt, easy to locate, lockbox made entry/exit smooth and great restaurant options in Nevada City. Highly recommend Stone House for dinner and South Yuba State Park for a day trip. Minor downsides: pillows were all way too dense and kitchen counter/stove/sink cleaning was overlooked. Dogs greet you upon arrival (we love dogs!) We would happily stay here again. Thanks, David!

Weekend Trip to Peace in the Pines

Amazing and memorable, we loved our stay at Peace In The Pines. Renee is a great host, super kind, and even supplied us some fruits and veggies from the garden, which we made a wonderful dinner with. I did morning yoga and meditation among the pines, and to open your eyes while looking above is truly magical. Our little dog-daughter enjoyed her stay as well! The site has everything you need, from a fully equipped kitchen, a comfortable bed with linens, and outdoor seating. The outdoor shower is a highlight! We saw a landscape of stars framed with the tall pines for two nights, couldn't ask for more.
