This land was home to the Miwok, then European and Chinese miners, then a cattle rancher. It was also home to a former nun who quit the dominican order to purchase this land for inner city kids to have a chance to ride, swim, hike and fish. We moved here in 2017 and purchased this land with the main goal to raise our large family here, but we have found that good things must be shared! There is NOTHING like being in the wilderness of this area for a good re-centering of the soul! We have found it to be a true blessing for our family, and we hope you can experience this blessing as we share this space with you. We feel certain you will not be disappointed with this beautiful river canyon. Our property is situated right on the middle fork cosumnes river. We have 2 sleeping cabins and several tent sites (can be rented separately). The cabins offer a rustic/minimalist type vibe - bring your own bedding/pillows to sleep on the comfy futon. A table and chairs are provided for the cabins. Tent sites have a wood table (bring your camp chairs) and a fire pit when the season is open for burning. The swimming is awesome and the stars at night will put you into a state of awe! Many family owned wineries in the area, most of them offering free tasting. It’s a short drive to Tahoe and the Marshall gold discovery site as well as the historic hangtown Placerville. The recent Caldor Fire was VERY close to our property and a back burn was initiated nearby the cabins. It is still as beautiful as ever but please know there are lots of slash piles. Falling trees and burned up stump holes are also a risk and it is presumed campers will be cautious and use at their own risk. Please don't hesitate to shoot us a message if you have any questions!

Lovely little river for fishing and a beautiful campground to relax in. The bathrooms are clean so no complaints there. Friendly hosts and an even friendlier dog than hung out with us during our weekend getaway. Definitely coming back!

Cabin Stay

We absolutely loved our experience! My husband and I usually do tent camping, but I wanted a cabin because I’m 6 months pregnant and there was a storm expected one of the days we were there. Cabin 1 is so nice and cute!! We adored the rustic/boho vibe and it was plenty spacious for us, our 18 month old, and our dog. We enjoyed watching the lightning storm out the back window as we were cozy inside the cabin. We also enjoyed treks along the beautiful landscape and down to the river. Having a flushing toilet was a huge plus especially to this pregnant lady! Noleen, her family, and dog were such gracious hosts and we appreciate their generosity. Thanks for the wonderful stay!

Cabin #1

Serenity and a friendly pup :)

Beautiful large property along the river! Really peaceful and remote. I felt very safe as a solo woman. Host’s directions were helpful and I made it up and down the dirt roads just fine in my 2WD compact. Lots of nice marked camping spots near the river and the cabin I stayed in was cozy. I went in January so it felt like I had it all to myself. My favorite part was their adorable and friendly farm dog who walked everywhere with me and gave me a proper “tour”. I got the wood stove going enough to warm the cabin for the evening, and I would recommend bringing some extra dry kindling in the winter if you want to get it really going (dampness is expected with winter camping). Would love to come back when it’s warmer to enjoy one of the campsites right by the river. And probably would come back just to hang out with the cool dog!
