The cabin shares the property with our home but a large portion of the yard is maintained solely for the use of cabin guests. The space feels private with no obligation to interact with the main house residents. Enjoy cooking on the BBQ or sitting by the firepit while taking in the woodland scenery. The area features a plethora of nearby hiking, mountain biking, disc golf, and swimming. Or enjoy the simplicity of reading a book, sitting by the fire, and letting the forest share its splendor with you. This house is also only about an hour drive to beautiful Lake Almanor and the amazing gem of Lassen National Park. It is very easy to go up for a day to go boating, fishing, a hike to the hot springs and hydrothermal areas, or have a picnic. The drive between here and there is on well maintained roads and the scenery is absolutely stunning. While Chico may look a bit far away on the map, the highway gets you there in 20 short minutes. This university town is well known for its mixture of vibrance, the arts, and small town rural living. The area boasts truly amazing restaurants, bars, shopping and modern amenities. Our property is very close to access points for the famous Upper Bidwell park. We will share a guidebook full of our personal recommendations of things to do in the area.This newly remodeled guesthouse cabin is nestled on our family’s 5 acres in the pine forests of the Sierra Nevada Mountains. Only 3 hours from San Francisco, 1 hour 45 minutes from Sacramento, and 20 minutes from Chico, come unplug from the rat race and enjoy a slice of authentic rural living. Recharge in solitude or get out-and-about to enjoy the countryside. The furnishings here are designed to maximize relaxation starting with the Cal King bed and Casper memory foam mattress. In addition to that the 55” Roku smart TV, espresso maker, fully stocked kitchenette, small library of some of our favorite books, board games & puzzles, washer & dryer, along with the pellet stove fireplace for winter stays, were all thoughtfully curated to allow you to rest, unwind, and enjoy yourself. Our personal background is in regenerative agriculture and our family operates this property as a homestead. At different times of the year it will feel more active in that regard than others. We almost always have poultry on the property (mixture of chickens, ducks, geese and turkeys) and we have a herd of goats and livestock guardian dogs that we manage to help thin the forest and keep it healthy. That herd travels between a number of properties so sometimes they are here and other times they are working on other people’s land. There is a plethora of wildlife here. Some of our favorites are deer, turkey, and salamanders. We are working to clear out the overgrown sections of the forest and establish meadows in more open sections. We are also rehabilitating a very small old orchard to bear fruit again. We hope to add more trees to the orchard in the coming years along with adding a large organic vegetable garden. We invite you to treat yourself to a stay here and enjoy a bit of simple living and nature’s bounty.

Lovely Little Place

Little House in the Big Woods

This place was easy to find and SO CUTE! I wanted a little getaway to just chill by sun trees, and this was a great spot for that. I really enjoyed working on a puzzle with a hot tea, and cozied up by the space heater. The only thing is I think you have to request that the fridge gets turned on before you stay, and I didn't think to. It was cool, though, because I already planned to eat out and I just kept my water in there. Lol! The shower also works great, and I really enjoyed the little salt lamp.

Rustic charm with Modern Comforts

Little House in the Big Woods

Oh my gosh this place was amazing! So comfortable! Very wout of the way and private. The shower is small, but it goes with the charm of a studio space. They have everything you would need for the little kitchenette and the instructions online were SUPER helpful! Even had instructions on how to use a pour over coffee carafe (I have never used one before) Highly Highly recommend for a weekend getaway; especially for couples who want to spend more time together.

Sweet cozy retreat

Little House in the Big Woods

We were looking for a calm retreat away from crowds. And we found it here! All we had to bring was our clothes and food. Everything else was there! Perfect for a cozy stay in Northern California.

So many trees!

Little House in the Big Woods

My partner and I had a great time in this Little House. There's so much to do indoors as well as outdoors. It's around 25 minutes to Chico. The land was beautiful and Kelsey was a very sweet and thoughtful host. We only really needed to bring our clothes and food. It was an amazing, quiet, and relaxing vacation away from the city, we loved it. Would definitely recommend!

Little House in the Big Woods

Kelsey’s little house was amazing and had everything you could need for a short, or long term stay. We had a magical time. I even forgot something and Kelsey was responsive afterwards and found it/could ship it to me. I would come back again if I’m in the area and recommend it to a friend!
