The perfect solo escape! Treat yourself to a quiet getaway for one at this cozy, clean and comfortable cabin on our rural farm, between two rivers, on Sherman Island. Located in the eastern San Francisco Bay Area at the confluence of the San Joaquin River, Sacramento River, and the eastern terminus of San Francisco Bay, Sherman Island is known for its wildlife, sunrises, and sunsets, and its dark sky for stargazing opportunities. The property is surrounded by alfalfa fields, grazing cattle, sheep, and a wildland habitat populated with migratory and native birds, animals, and plants. The one-room cabin has a bed and clawfoot bathtub with hot water offering a peaceful escape on our 5-acre tree-lined farm. Here you can listen to birdsong instead of the sounds of the city. This is an ideal cabin for birdwatchers, writers, plein air painters, nature photographers, stargazing, windsurfers/kiteboarders, meditation, or some stress-free, peaceful reset time. The private cottage has a refrigerator, microwave, compostable dinnerware, drinking water, and a coffeemaker with coffee. It is air-conditioned in summer and heated in winter. Pets are welcome and free to enjoy being off-leash in the cabin's fenced yard. The hosts raise free-range chickens and bees on their farm and also conduct a nonprofit rescue and hospice for senior pets. The property is in the Pacific Migratory Flyway, surrounded by a 1000-acre State habitat/preserve populated by wildlife and seasonal birds. Downtown San Francisco and Sacramento are each about 50 miles away in opposite directions.

The best camping near Tracy with hot tubs guide

Where to go

Bethany Reservoir State Recreation Area

Twenty minutes from Tracy is Bethany Reservoir State Recreation Area. Boat, fish, or windsurf along the 160-acre reservoir. Shaded picnic areas are dog-friendly and available near the boat ramp. Then, explore hilly back roads on challenging bike climbs or ride along the California Aqueduct Bikeway and view windmills in the recreation area. To end the day, set up at a nearby RV or tent campsite that is pet-friendly and has electrical hookups.

Black Chasm Cavern

About an hour and a half northeast of Tracy looms Black Chasm Cavern. The cavern’s beauty includes a stunning blue lake and millions of twisting helictite crystals, which defy gravity and grow abundantly throughout the chambers. Campers can explore the cavern with knowledgeable guides to view formations that resemble animals and figures like candy canes, butterflies, and even a dragon—the cave’s mascot. Additionally, cave explorers may traverse Miners Trail, an ecologically fragile area with convoluted marble monoliths, in a self-guided walking tour. Nearby cabin lodges, RV sites, and tent sites are available for campers who may want to visit the caverns for more than one day.

San Luis Reservoir State Recreation Area

San Luis Reservoir State Recreation Area is an ideal destination for campers seeking water-based activities. Situated about an hour and a half west of Tracy, the park sits around the expansive San Luis Reservoir. Launch a boat from designated ramps, fish for striped bass and catfish, and hike trails with scenic views of the reservoir and surrounding hills. The park features numerous tent and RV campsites equipped with picnic tables, fire rings, and restrooms, as well.
