We LOVED this yurt. So peaceful and cozy. Easy to find, close to Nevada City, but feels private and secluded. The wood burning sauna and outdoor tub were great, as was the shower at the yurt. Had a great experience, and will definitely be back.

My husband and I had a wonderful stay! The woodfired sauna and outdoor tub under the stars or just what my husband and I needed. We really enjoyed the yurt space and the bed was very comfy. We will definitely go back. Just an FYI, for people looking this is a rustic experience - compost toilet, no wifi, so if you’re looking for something a bit refined, this might not be as awesome for you as it was for us.

Weekend Trip to River Oaks Camp

Glamping at the yurt at River Oaks Camp was a peaceful getaway on a lovely property with impromptu visits by deer, turkeys, woodpeckers and toads. Wonderful hosts, friendly dogs, and engaging farm animals, and the river would have been terrific on a hot summer day. Apple Hill farms and businesses are a short drive away. Recommended.

It was a wonderful weekend in a yurt. It had everything we needed. The beds were very comfortable, there were all the necessary utensils, and there was a gas stove, which we never used. The shower was warm and the sunset was beautiful. Thank you so much, our whole family loved it and we want to come back!

Weekend Trip to River Oaks Camp

magical spot. I will definitely be back. The New flushing toliet was a major glamping perk. Id say bring ear plugs just in case of barking dogs at night as sound carries in a valley (this is typical for a farm/neighbors to have working dogs staying alert for wildlife etc). Hosts were so dang sweet and the River was beyond perfect for a full day of swimming and relaxation. The steep hike back up to the yurt from the river was quick but could be a challenge for those with mobility issues etc. so pack light to the river. Don't miss this well cared for Oasis!

Weekend Trip to Tranquillity Base Ranch

Peacefully set in the trees and a spacious indoor area. Feels very private, a great getaway with easy access to great hiking and river spots.

Beautiful property and the hosts went above and beyond to make sure our stay was awesome! It was pretty hot, and the river felt great! Only wish I had met Benny! 😎

such a gorgeous stay, can’t wait to come back. the owners were out of town at the burn, so a neighbor in a next-door yurt took good care of us and made sure we had everything we could possibly need. we were made to feel super welcome. one thing to note is that the bathtub is only semi-private since it’s accessible to others on the land, but we didn’t care at all! no one bothered us. get naked and enjoy!

3 nights at Private Yurts - Nevada City

The short walk to the yurt felt like wandering into an enchanted forest, where the air is fresh and the world slows down. Inside, dimmable lights set a warm and welcoming glow, the kitchen held everything we needed, and a basket under the coffee table offered books and a coloring book (bring colored pencils) for quiet moments. We loved reading the heartfelt notes from previous guests and gathering fresh eggs for breakfast, a simple joy that made our mornings feel special. The cedar tub was pure relaxation, and the nearby rivers invited us to bask in the sun and cool our feet in the water. Every detail here feels thoughtfully placed, creating a space that restores and inspires. Our stay was far too short, and we are already looking forward to returning.

Weekend Trip to Foothills Yurt Glamping

It's my 2nd time coming and it was great! There was some small issues like the bathroom light not working and some skunks at night wanting to hang out, but nothing to spoil a great time. I will say bring extra toilet paper if it's more than 4 people. 2 rolls go by quickly! As well there are some meat wasps that were there both times, they look scarier than they are. They didn't sting us, but rather wanted out food. I loved the manual thatwba left behind that explained everything.

Rachel and her husband were super kind and responsive to all we needed. The Yurt is cozy, the bed amazing, and the neighborhood cat and I are now buddies. It's a great place to spend time with a loved one without all the distractions...and if you want to visit a fun, eclectic city, there are a couple nearby.

3 nights at Canyon Creek Resort

Campground is perfect in every way, except a few things that were annoying. door of cabin would not lock, WiFi is not free and is not good enough to make a phone call.

This property was beautiful and private! My first time using a Air BnB and it didn't disappoint. Single mom with two kids, one semi adult 😁and it was perfect for us. The yurt is beautiful and decorated so perfect. Incredibly cozy and the deck was a perfect place to drink my coffee in the morning. We had wild rabbits and baby foxes playing under us. The pool was our favorite spot as we swam for hours, relaxing and soaking up the sun. There were a lot of things not working and/or missing. The hammock, the music on hot tub, the sauna and no working light in shower all broken. The swim up pool bar area is nothing but a table with cobwebs. Those were disappointing. Lots of yellow jackets, my daughter got stung. Wasn't expecting that many especially since all cooking had to be done outside but I worked through it. The train rolling through town can be noisy for some but I found it soothing. Overall the property is just incredible and it is up for sale which could explain why so many things weren't working. If you want a private escape in nature but still glamorous, this is highly recommended. We all miss it! Thankful for the owner sharing this amazing place.
