I enjoyed my time here - the woods were pretty, there's lots of hiking right by the campsite, and warm showers are a nice touch. It feels pretty isolated, which I like - I didn't see the hosts the whole time I was there, and there were no other campers there when I was. There's a lot of wide open space and a lot of hiking trails - it's the woods! Felt like there were lots of opportunities for solitude.
There's a structure right by the campsite that's clearly still being worked on, but luckily, no work was being done on it while I was there, so it wasn't a disturbance. The lake/pond was definitely dried up - would have been nice to swim considering how hot it was, but it's not far to plenty of swimming holes.
The main criticism I'd give is the price point—$80 a night seems expensive for access to a place to set up a tent. I've seen plenty of "glamping" options on Hipcamp that provide a tiny house or a yurt for around that price. I think about half that price would be a much more reasonable offering.

We loved the solitude! Great proximity to hiking, state parks and of course, plunging into the Yuba River.

We recently stayed at the charming Serenity lodge. The location was incredibly peaceful, and we saw plenty of wildlife! There were plenty of outdoor activities to enjoy, like hiking and swimming, which made the stay even more enjoyable.
The cabin itself was beautiful and thoughtfully equipped with everything we needed like utensils, paper towels, soap, plates, bowls, and even an outdoor sink and gas propane stove. The sunlight through the windows added an extra touch of magic, and though there were no curtains or shades but the cabin is secluded. We had to get used to the windows which to be honest scared me a little at night haha. The shower and bathroom were great and very clean. We enjoyed all the decor and extra amenities.
The only downside was the narrow path leading to the guest house bathroom/showers. There was tall grass and thorny vines that made the walk a bit tricky so bring your flashlight at night!
Overall, the experience matched the description well, and I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful retreat. Just make sure to bring mosquito repellent!

Good, but beware of mosquitoes

Overall, a good experience. The campsites are nicely spread out with lots of different sizes and configurations available. There were quite a few mosquitoes for a couple of hours in the morning and evening - I think this place is best visited in the spring, late fall, and winter, outside of mosquito season.

The directions were very helpful and the camp location around the meadow is truly magical and beautiful. We slept so well, we had lovely camp neighbors and Adam was helpful as a host.
Also the cutest shower and outhouse toilets!

I love the remote location.
Lots of trees!
Lots of mosquitoes!
I left the only thing that makes my life complete, and for that reason alone, I cannot return!

Even better than the photos! This cabin felt like a slice of heaven, with easy access to the Yuba river. The kitchen was well equipped for our group dinners each night and the rooms were comfortable. We will absolutely be saving this spot for future trips!

Charming rustic cabin in a peaceful setting — a real treat, especially over the 4th of July weekend. We loved strolling the property and taking in the surroundings. The outhouses were clean, and it was a big plus to also have access to a flush toilet and a hot shower

Absolutely amazing property.
Myself and my girl were literally the only folks this last week.
My advise is to screenshot driving directions because you won't have cell/GPS service, also I recommend arriving during daylight hours, almost impossible to find the sites in the dark.
Beautiful hikes.
Also if you see a golden lab female running around, FEED HER! she is a total sweetheart but will not let you touch her.
Thanks for letting us enjoy your property, it feels like a very spiritual place.
We will return this week if we are invited.

Stayed in the Serentity cabin and it was so nice. It was quiet and comfy with pretty much everything you would need is provided. Comfy beds, kitchen stuff and a wood stove for keeping warm. The shower and bathroom at the main house were definitely a huge plus after a dusty summer hike. I would stay here again for sure!

The cabin provided a wonderful place for my family to play and explore while providing necessities for cooking and sleeping. The hikes around the nature preserve were beautiful and well-maintained.

We loved the privacy and remoteness of this place. The outhouse was clean and so was the rest of the campground. Would love to come back here someday.

It's a truly special place !
We usually do a full takeover of the 4 historical cabins (Serenity, Shambala, Trinity and Geronimo) with ~ 20 friends / family. Serenity is across the pond from the 3 others - a bit more secluded.
It feels that we own the forest - no neighbors besides Adam the owner - and liberty for kids to roam around and adult to relax.
The main fire-pit is the hanging place, with 2 huge tables to share grilled food. And old gas grill and a smoker complete the set-up.
Each room has a basic kitchen well stocked with stove + cooking and serving basics+. There's running cold water and electricity, but drink only the spring water (provided and refillable at the spring).
Rooms are basic and comfortable (no curtains, brings eye masks) but they are "forest clean". There's a shower and flush toilet in the owner's house (3 min walk).
It's remote, secluded and we love it for that. No cell coverage, but slow wifi by the owner's house for emergency.
We like exploring the area - malakoff park, yuba river and many swim holes.
I've come every year since 2020 and love it.

We had the absolute best time. Adam was a clear and helpful communicator the minute we booked the site. The cabin itself was definitely rustic - no bathroom and the only source of heating was a wood stove in the living room (so keep that in mind if you’re staying October-March; it gets cold at night and you’re throwing logs onto the fire every few hours). That said, the bed was arguably the most comfortable bed I’ve ever stayed on in a short term rental. The cabin had everything we needed, including beautiful trails, snow for the boys to sled on, and a chance to mentally reset and disconnect from our devices. There is WiFi near the main house so if you have to get online, there are no issues. I look forward to coming back with more friends and family.

I loved the whole place, it was a good experience. I went when it was cold and we pretty much had the place to ourselves, but I do want to see what it’s like when it’s warmer and there’s more people around. I love the cabins, but I want to try the tent sites next time, they looked very nice, and especially since they’re right by the lake.

Adam's eco-preserve is absolutely beautiful. We stayed in the Shambala cabin, which was cozy and comfortable. Plenty of hikes on the property and close to a state park for additional trails. Adam was a great host, and we look forward to visiting again.

This was one of the best ways to spend time away from people. The cabins are beautiful. You are literally MILES away from anything. The property is amazing. 99% of the time we had no cell service but there was wifi. There was plenty of firewood provided considering we stayed for four nights. There is a toilet and shower at the office cabin that provides a better comfort for those that need it.
Overall, this was such an amazing trip that we are wanting to come back again.

Excellent cabin, lots of space for kids. Nice little hill for kids to ride their bike. No wifi or cellular service, which is just what we needed. Main house on property has full bathrooms if the outhouse isn't your thing. It also had Wi-Fi if needed. Highly recommended. Bring bug spray.
