Set on the Northern outskirts of Portola, CA. Just one mile from town, resting on the edge of pine tree-covered mountains, looking over a calming pastoral scene. Settle into a quiet meadow retreat less than 10 minutes from Lake Davis.
Our campsite sits beside wide‑open pastureland, surrounded by beautiful pines on peaceful game refuge land, where the breeze moves through the grass, and ravens call to one another across the fields. It’s a calm, restorative corner of the Lost Sierra — perfect for slowing down and reconnecting with nature.
Adventure and wildlife are right at your doorstep:
Ride your mountain bike around the property or head up to Lake Davis to prep for The Lost & Found Gravel Grinder event that comes every June.
Access to some of the best hiking around! You can check out the Beckwourth Peak Trail, built by the amazing Sierra Buttes Trail Stewardship and their many volunteers.
Enjoy excellent trout fishing at Lake Davis, known for its calm waters and serene shoreline. We have plenty of room for your trailered fishing boat as well.

Weekend Trip to Lena's Landing- A Cozy Cabin
The host Anett has a heart of gold. Genuinely one of the kindest and most welcoming humans we have met. She is a true steward of the land that she has lovingly built over the years. From our first interaction, we felt right at home on her property.
The cabin is quaint and cozy. The perfect balance between convenient amenities and immersion in nature.
Despite our short 1 night stay the whole experience left a strong positive impression on us and we cannot wait to return for a longer stay!
Do not hesitate to book this cabin!
PS: tell Sully we say hello 👋

Weekend Trip to Lena's Landing- A Cozy Cabin
This was easily one of the best Hipcamp stays I’ve had. The tiny home is incredibly clean, cozy, and thoughtfully put together, with so many little touches that make the space feel welcoming and comfortable. She has clearly put a lot of care into the experience, from the amenities to the refreshments stocked in the fridge.
The property itself is beautiful and peaceful, and the friendly animals make it even more special. Being surrounded by the natural beauty near Portola was exactly the kind of quiet, rejuvenating reset anyone could ask seeking a retreat from their busy city lives.
She was also incredibly responsive, helpful, and easy to communicate with, and I honestly think her pricing is more than fair for what she provides. She may call it “camping,” but this was easily the most luxurious camping I’ve ever done. I would absolutely stay here again and would recommend it without hesitation!

4 nights at The Owls Nest
The cabin was absolutely perfect! The owl trim on the front of the cabin provides the right kind of feeling. Chairs outside to relax and enjoy the view and take in the ambiance. Inside the kitchenette had everything I needed and more. Bedroom was more than adequate. Slept well. Bathroom perfect. The entire vibe of the area was soothing and refreshing! The family stewarding the land are lovely! We will be coming back, for sure! And their dog Jack is a sweetheart he played with our dog, Maggie!

3 nights at Lena's Landing- A Cozy Cabin
We thoroughly loved our stay at Lena's Landing! The location is peace, quiet, beautiful, and near spectacular hikes and lakes. The cottage is cozy, quaint, clean with a well-equipped kitchen and modern appliances. There's a small loft bed and cot that can fit snugly inside or on the porch. The host, Annett, is delightful and super accommodating and responsive. She has two friendly horses, a goat and dogs. Plus, there's a spacious, serene view from the cottage.

Weekend Trip to Lena's Landing- A Cozy Cabin
Our stay at Lena's Landing was wonderful and made even more special by Anett and her beautiful property. The rustic tiny cabin was so cozy, with a comfortable loft bed. We loved looking out over the property and watching the dogs, goats, and horses roam freely. The peaceful setting was absolutely beautiful. We stayed here because it was recommended by a family friend and it exceeded every expectation. We were in town for a local bike race and only stayed one night, but it was the perfect place to rest after a long day of racing. What truly made our stay unforgettable was Anett. She is an incredibly kind, thoughtful, and welcoming host who genuinely cares about her guests. She made us feel right at home. We are so grateful for our stay and cannot wait to return. Next time, we plan to stay longer so we can enjoy more of the property.

Weekend Trip to Lena's Landing- A Cozy Cabin
Anett was an outstanding host! We enjoyed our stay in Lena’s cabin and honestly slept so incredibly well. We wish we could have stayed longer. Everything was very clean and our stay included having access to: utensils, cooking pans, ground coffee, a french press, playing cards, propane stove top, a grill, a fire pit, a solar shower, the views of the meadows, stars and an opportunity to meet some of the farm animals (dogs, horses and Sully the goat). Thank you Anett for being such a very hospitable host & we look forward to coming to visit again soon ! 💚🌷

Absolutely best family experience I’ve ever had!! This was glamping to the max! We stayed in the modern “cabin” tiny home and honestly, the highlight was the high thread count of the sheets and bedding! So luxurious! And they said pet friendly they meant it. Our little pug was welcomed with open arms and we had such a good experience. Some places will say a pet friendly, but then add all these hidden fees and rules. Not this place. Straight forward pet deposit and rules. We stayed for Memorial Day weekend and they had so many family fun events for free! Bbq, live music, bounce house. Truly a wonderful community and paradise. We are even looking to buy into the cabin for the summer. Now let’s get into location. Perfectly located in the summer or winter months whether you are heading to Reno to scooter along the river walk, hit up the waterpark in sparks, or head to kings beach to winter wonderland proximity to snow parks and resorts. 10/10 experience! Highly recommend!! Oh and let’s not forget about the coffee pods and fire pit and free books to relax….truly amazing!!!

1 night at Lena's Landing- A Cozy Cabin
I had a great time, amazing views of the meadow! Perfect spot to get a little peace of nature. Plenty of activities, and the river is a quick walk across the meadows for a swim. Bringing my fishing pole next time. Another perk was the night sky, haven’t seen that many starts in a bit. Also loved the view from the outdoor shower.

1 night at Lena's Landing- A Cozy Cabin
We wish we would have had the time to stay longer!! Everything was simply perfect. Our host was amazing, so kind, and despite the shortness of the time we enjoyed our talks and every moment on this beautiful peace of property. Everything we needed was there and we enjoyed making a small fire on our one night barbecue dinner using the little grill that has been provided. Solar bags for quick shower heated up well during the day and the outhouse was clean. Took a short walk down to the river even though this time of the year the ground was still pretty wet so walking through the meadow was a bit challenging. Bring hiking boots :) Enjoyed watching the train going by in the distance; during our short stay we only noticed it once . Never saw the next door neighbors and the very few cars passing by behind the cabin were no bother to us since it is a dead end road. We both used the loft bed which worked for us. Very tall people might choose to use the cot besides the loft bed for having more space. Despite no indoor plumbing, it’s been great to have running and clean water for coffee etc at the little dishwashing station.
Due to the absolutely gorgeous scenery in this area, this was our 2nd time visiting. ( first time through hip camp) We recommend this “ Camping ground” highly!!!!
Thank you Anett for being such great host on your beautiful property and we can’t wait to be back !!

Weekend Trip to Lena's Landing- A Cozy Cabin
The Cabin at Lena's Landing was so quaint and well thought out. Many personal touches that added to a lovely experience. The view of the meadow was my favorite as I enjoyed my morning coffee. Everything was provided to make this a memorable and enjoyable experience. The hostess, Anette, is charming and made sure I was comfortable and any questions were answered. I plan on returning to this peaceful spot and bringing my horse for the next stay. Great areas to ride and explore. Definitely recommend Lena's Landing.
