amazing stay again!

second time back after 3 years and i wish i had been able to stay longer. racheal was so incredible. i was given late check out and gone made soap for a delay, which was truly not even a problem. i had almost forgotten how much o love space. the yurt is so cozy and the bed is the comfiest hipcamp bed i’ve ever slept in, and i’ve stayed at many hipcamps. the outdoor sauna and bath were exceptional this time. perfect weather to enjoy at sunset. absolutely will return. cannot wait to see what else they create on their land. it’s something special.

Peaceful nature getaway

Lovely convenient stay out in a quiet, nature filled location. We saw deer, quail, and there’s also a very friendly cat on the property. Rachel and her husband are extremely responsive and helpful to any concerns. There’s a kitchen with all appliances provided and the restroom is conveniently located. We stayed during a rainy night and were able to stay warm with the wood stove and enjoyed the loud rain sounds on the roof. The wood burning sauna and outdoor tub are a perfect way to end the day under the stars. Just a short and easy drive away from downtown Nevada City and Grass Valley.

Great Yurt, Responsive Hosts

We loved staying in the Yurt on Rachel's property! Felt private even though the property was shared. The Yurt was full of extra special goodies made by Rachel - so cool! Rachel's binder with instructions and tips for local stuff was very helpful. The outdoor tub by the sauna was amazing for stargazing, and stayed super warm! The shower was pretty difficult to tolerate (not great water pressure, and not very warm water), but to be fair to Rachel it was like 43 degrees outside when we needed to take a shower - not much can be done about the cold as it is an outdoor shower! Was definitely exhilarating! The yurt was decorated beautifully, and we appreciated having lots of chopped logs and kindling ready to go so we could build a fire in the woodstove right when we arrived. Would definitely recommend!

The stay in the yurt was such a nice little escape! The bed and pillows were very comfortable and everything you need in a space is there (cooking utensils, nicely furnished and thoughtful ‘souvenirs’ for purchase if you want). The first night it rained and it was so peaceful listening to the rain on the ceiling while having the wood burning stove going (which, once going, warmed the space really nicely). Short drive to Nevada City and Grass Valley. Had a great time and can’t wait to go back!
