This special land is part of a multi-parcel wildlife corridor, helping to provide valuable habitat between the state parks. Out your doorstep, you'll find miles of private, groomed, hiking, biking and horseback riding trails and have an opportunity to reconnect with nature. Our solar-powered farmhouse overlooks the mountains and an organic orchard and garden, with two queen bedrooms lined with hand-milled sugar pine from the land, strong wifi/tv, waterfalls, and private fifteen-mile network of trails to hike or bike. Walk to refreshing creek swimming hole or private Yuba river swimming access available at certain times. Included in your stay is seasonal organic produce and hammocks to relax in under the fruit treas and at the creek. The two bedrooms downstairs have queen beds handcrafted of sugar pine milled from downed trees from the land and are fitted with organic sheets. Downstairs has a bathroom with tub and shower, living room with mid-century furniture, views of the orchard and a tv for cozy movie nights. Upstairs is a fully-stocked kitchen with gas stove, oven, and all chef's amenities, foldout queen sleeper, bathroom with shower and outdoor table for a sunset dinner. Cool mountain air refreshes your nights or feel the luxury of air conditioning on a hot summer afternoon. After a relaxing day in the mountains, perhaps star gaze from the patio or orchard. To get to the sandy beach and creek spot, called Barkhouse Beach, take an easy stroll through the forest. The nearby Barkhouse, close to the creek, is a reconstruction of a typical Maidu Indian dwelling. Walk inside to experience the traditional history of this land. Or cool off in the Yuba River at the South Yuba River State Park, just a 5-minute drive from the farmhouse. Ask about accommodating additional guests.Our solar-powered farmhouse overlooks the mountains and an organic orchard and garden, with two queen bedrooms lined with hand-milled sugar pine from the land, strong wifi/tv, waterfalls, and private fifteen-mile network of trails to hike or bike.

Organic Farmhouse at Yuba Retreat

Alicia was a great host. Communication was easy and efficient. Her property has a lot of different trails and we enjoyed our time hiking. We look forward to visit again.

We spent a lovely weekend at Alicia’s organic farmhouse, mountain biking in the Nevada City area and on the property’s own well-designed trails, floating on the Yuba nearby, and watching the Perseids meteor shower while cooking some great group dinners. Picking our own fruits and vegetables straight from the garden was such a treat! One of the best Hipcamps around.

Magical river and trails

Our stay exceeded our expectations in every way. The river was heaven on earth. We made delicious meals featuring fresh fruits and veggies from the garden—blackberry crisp and tomato basil pasta, yum! The family’s stewardship of this land is off the charts. Thank you Alicia and family for our magical stay. We hope to return!

Forest Homestead at Yuba Retreat

What a wonderful house! Very spacious, very clean, very beautiful. The kitchen so well, equipped, plenty of dishes, everything you could need to feed a large group. It was a perfect place for our family reunion. Gorgeous hiking at various levels of difficulty, Beautiful swimming holes in the creek, amazing vistas. Couldn’t have asked for a better place!

So magical!

We absolutely loved our stay at the organic farmhouse! We were 4 adults and 2 toddlers and the space accommodated us well. The babies loved picking strawberries in the garden and munching on fresh peas. It was a 20 minute hike down to the swimming hole with the kids in hiking packs and they loved playing on the grass and rocks near the water (with major supervision, of course!) Alicia was so warm, welcoming, and even offered to help us out by washing a few items after our son got sick in the car on the windy road in. We were so touched by her generosity throughout our stay and we can’t wait to return! Thank you, Alicia!
