Step back in time at the Lost Sierra Bungalow, a cozy riverside retreat built in the 1960s using reclaimed timbers from 1800s Sierra Valley barns. Nestled where the Yuba River meets Haypress Creek, this peaceful hideaway opens to the sound of rushing water and birdsong. Whether you’re sipping coffee on the deck, cooking a meal with friends, or stargazing under string lights, this cabin invites you to slow down and reconnect with nature. The heart of the cabin is the spacious great room — perfect for curling up by the wood-burning stove, playing games, dancing, or gathering for shared meals. The country kitchen is fully stocked with everything you need to cook: a four-burner stove, fridge, coffee maker, pots, pans, dishes, utensils, spices, oils, and more. Step out to the large deck with BBQ grill and outdoor dining area — magical at dusk under the twinkle lights and stars. 🛏️ Sleeping arrangements: Downstairs: 1 queen bedroom + 1 bathroom (clawfoot tub & shower) Upstairs: 3 bedrooms (1 queen, 1 full, 1 twin room for kids) + 1 bathroom 🌿 Year-round adventure: Spring–Fall: Hiking & biking trails for all levels, Yuba River fishing & swimming nearby. Winter: Borrow our sleds and explore by snowshoe, ski, or snowmobile. 📶 Connectivity: No TV, but great Wi-Fi — stream, work remotely, or unplug and enjoy the quiet. 💫 What makes it special This is a true Lost Sierra retreat — cozy, rustic, and deeply relaxing. The perfect mix of nature, comfort, and nostalgia. Watch the light move through the pines, listen to the creek, and reconnect with what matters. Guests have full access to the home and plenty of parking for cars, bikes, and even snowmobiles in winter. The bungalow is all yours — a private, peaceful mountain retreat. Our cabin is old-fashioned and full of charm — the upstairs can be chilly in winter and warm in summer. We provide extra blankets for cool nights, and suggest opening windows after sunset during summer to let in the mountain air. Please treat our home and the surrounding land with care. A light tidy-up (dishes, vacuuming if needed) helps us keep this place special for years to come. No need to do laundry or take out ashes — we’ll handle that. This is a true Lost Sierra experience: cozy, rustic, and rooted in nature.Step back in time at the Lost Sierra Bungalow, a cozy riverside retreat built in the 1960s using reclaimed timbers from 1800s Sierra Valley barns.

Magical Lost Sierra Bungalow!
Staying at this magical little cabin in the woods was everything you could ask for and then some. We had a great time just enjoying the quietness of the area and just the sounds of the Yuba river. The cabin was beautiful and just felt like staying in a piece of history with how beautiful it was inside and out. Stay here and you wont regret it, only that you didnt book a longer stay.

The cabin has a great speaker system for use with Bluetooth devices. October is a beautiful time of year in Sierra City mountains.

The cabin is beautiful, comfortable and had everything we needed. We loved dinners on the back deck and coffee in rocking chairs on the front deck. Incredible nearby walkable swimming hole and short drive to beautiful alpine lakes. Thank you so much Rachel. Your place gave our little friend group such a nice place to be together.

A truly magical cabin

Magical Lost Sierra Bungalow!
Wow, wow, wow. We loved this cabin SO much. The layout, the design, the amenities, the location—everything was top notch! We visit this area often and had a group of 6 for a long weekend in September. The cabin had everything we needed, and it was great having 4 bedrooms. The kitchen was stocked—we used mugs, pots, pans, the kettle, coffee machine, and the grill. The front porch and back deck are also such great spaces. If you're looking for space for a group, this is it. We'll 100% be back!

Magical Lost Sierra Bungalow!
This cabin is such a gem! Spacious layout that was very comfortable for the 8 of us. It was snowing when we went up so the fire place was perfect and we got to take walks out in the snow to enjoy the beautiful surroundings! Lots of trees and a beautiful small river just steps away from the cabin. A real cozy at home vibe with all the things you need for cooking, showering, and entertainment. We were all thorough impressed and would love to come back in the summer. The host is very easy and quick to get a hold of with any questions. Thank you for providing us with such a fantastic experience and weekend we will never forget.
