Nestled in the scenic Carson Valley just outside Lake Tahoe, Pinenut Creek Ranch & Resort is a one-of-a-kind, 17-acre off-grid haven. This Old West–themed retreat blends rustic charm with modern comforts, offering guests a unique glamping experience in plush tipis, authentic wagons, and cozy miner tents—set to be added in the spring of 2026. More than just a getaway, our ranch is dedicated to strengthening relationships and building community. We emphasize life skills for teens and provide hands-on education in animal husbandry and permaculture. Guests can enjoy farm-to-fork organic cuisine sourced directly from our land while immersing themselves in the natural beauty and peaceful atmosphere of the Sierra Nevadas. We warmly invite like-minded, faith-driven individuals and families to join us—whether for a retreat, a hands-on workshop at our permaculture school, or simply to relax and reconnect in a wholesome, supportive environment.🌄 Creekside Glamping at Pinenut Creek Ranch Come escape to the high desert beauty of Carson Valley at Pinenut Creek Ranch & Resort.

Unfortunately, we didn't end up staying here. The host was very communicative and welcoming, and we were looking forward to staying there, but due to personal circumstances, we were unable to make it out.

This is a secluded and private camping spot and you have to go on some dirt roads to get there, all of which I don't mind because I prefer being out there away from it all. I would camp here again!

Pinenut’s land was excluded, surrounded by a creek and the stars in the evening were Incredible! The owner met us when we arrived introduced us to their family and shared the history of the land and how it all came to be. We were welcomed with real hospitality, which was wonderful to experience during our specific time traveling the west. Ample wood, how water shower and grill with cooking tools provided. The fire pit was the best, we were looking for an all night fire, and were able to have one. The space we stayed felt comfortable and safe, as if we were in a sphere of our own world. The owners had a table , chairs and bell tent available. I enjoyed the friendly encounter, and helpful check in from the owner, and made sure we had everything we needed. I do know that I’ll be back to connect with the land as it’s all been blessed up after our stay. I recommend this spot for a couple wanting a cool experience, I can only imagine how beautiful it will be in spring time. We stayed in October, the fire kept us warm. The fire pit was the main highlight for us. Felt welcomed to be there, Pinenut land has great history and a good spot to have a sacred experience being under the stars and the beauty of the creek flowing at night. 10/10. Warrior
