Weekend Trip to Starry Hot Tub/Cold Plunge Glamping

Serene property! Ultimate leisure with the hot tub/cold plunge. The outdoor shower and composting toilet are such a nice touch. Perfect little getaway, thank you!

3 nights at Perfect Getaway with Private Creek

This place is a gem. We visited for 3 nights with our 2 young teen sons, and dog, and we had the best time. The highlight for us was simply the privacy and solitude of the ranch. The only sounds you hear are from the river, frogs, birds and turkeys. We found a creek spot that suited us best and spent the days marveling at the nature and exploring the property. Bonus was spotting river otters on the other side of the creek. The little house was perfect for our needs (2 boys fit perfectly in the loft- bring sleeping bags/pillows) and the outdoor shower under the stars was amazing after a long day. We will definitely be coming back!

Weekend Trip to Perfect Getaway with Private Creek

The site had everything we needed for our stay - a mini fridge, towels, linens, pillows, indoor cooking accessories, kettle, grill, firepit, hot water, indoor shower, outdoor shower, outdoor bathtub, indoor composting toilet, outdoor outhouse, outdoor lights, private creek access... the list goes on. It was a really nice spot to share with my wife, who is "outdoor curious" but not huge on leaving the luxuries of home behind.

Weekend Trip to Starry Hot Tub/Cold Plunge Glamping

Awesome little spot! We stayed in the A-frame which was super cozy and comfortable. The cabin has pretty much anything you could need and Ellie and Jack were quick to respond to any questions we had. We didn’t give the cold plunge a try but the hot tub was delightful in the evenings. Would come back again!

Weekend Trip to Perfect Getaway with Private Creek

This was my third visit here in the past year and it never disappoints! Lots of beautiful land and the creek is breathtaking this time of year. I highly recommend walking to the end of the main road/trail to see the stone wall and swimming hole. Many wildflowers along the way. Joe is the perfect host, as always. If you seek privacy and serenity in nature, this is the spot!

2 nights at Starry Hot Tub/Cold Plunge Glamping

Great little cabin, just far enough from town, but close enough for drinks and food if needed. The hot tub is great, we stayed in the A frame cabin outside of their yurt season, so we did not have to share the hot tub with anyone.

Weekend Trip to Starry Hot Tub/Cold Plunge Glamping

The hosts were incredibly friendly, and made sure we had everything we needed. The property is beautiful, it's great for just relaxing in the hot tub under the stars and also conveniently located for exploring Nevada City and the many hikes nearby!

2 nights at Perfect Getaway with Private Creek

The land was beautiful, with the sound of the creek always present. Joe is very responsive and helped us trouble shoot the water heater, after which I was able to take a hot bath outside (so luxurious!) We enjoyed having a fire and playing some of the games available in the tiny home, and we slept well in the comfy bed. It was a wonderful escape. Thank you Joe!

Weekend Trip to Starry Hot Tub/Cold Plunge Glamping

This is a very special property, and we thouroughly enjoyed our stay. Make sure to take advantage of the hot tub/cold plunge. Close to town, but just far enough out. A-frame is very cozy, and small, but just big enough to make it a romantic dance. Loved the wood burning stove, and robes!

Weekend Trip to Tambo Ranch Tiny House Village

As much as I’d love to keep this place to myself, I have to echo everyone’s enthusiasm and love for this site. My partner & I came for a Valentine’s getaway and we stayed in the smaller tiny home. We arrived later in the evening, but directions were easy to follow and the site was well lit with fairy lights which was such a nice touch. Upon arrival, we were greeted with fresh muffins, eggs from the farm, and a cute little sign. There’s a queen bed at the loft, a full kitchen, and a nice seating area equipped with a TV. It had everything we needed to cook our meals and enjoy mornings in. A personal bonus: everything was so incredibly clean & I can’t stress this enough! You can definitely tell a lot of care and thought was put into the home to make it as comfortable as possible. The larger property is beautiful to walk through & it’s what we ended up spending our days doing. There are 3 different sites to stay at on the property - each for different needs and with their own appeals. There are chickens, an alpaca, sheep, cats, and a dog on property & they’re all so friendly! Carolyn & Julio really made the trip for us - they’re such amazing & accommodating hosts. They gave us the space we needed, but were still easily accessible for any questions we had. This was my first time ever doing a stay outside of a major city, and this stay made me want to do this again & again. We’ll definitely make this an annual thing! :-)

Weekend Trip to Tambo Ranch Tiny House Village

This place was absolutely perfect for a romantic weekend getaway. Gorgeous property, fantastic owners, excellent amenities, and a great location, rural enough to feel close to nature but close enough to cities like Chico to enjoy urban delights. Owners were generous, accommodating, and very kind. Plus the animals were very nice.

2 nights at Tambo Ranch Tiny House Village

We bought this stay as a gift for my mom and she was absolutely gushing about it when she got home. She told us about all the beautiful touches, the tea, the flowers, and what a thoughtful and beautiful space the tiny house was. She said she felt steeped in rest the entire time, and loved connecting with the hosts as well. Highly recommend!

Weekend Trip to Tambo Ranch Tiny House Village

My wife & I were looking for a quick weekend getaway to work on some financials & planning for the upcoming year. We wanted it to be quiet, close to Sacramento w/WiFi availability & this checked all our boxes! The drive there was easy & scenic. The owner’s directions were accurate & easy to read for when you arrive on the property. We stayed in the Acreage Tiny home & boy was it a good choice! It rained 24/7 w/high winds, but the tiny home was a dream to be in. The home is very well built, clean, insulated, kept us warm, cozy, & protected from wind the whole time. The bed was super comfortable, the heater worked like a charm, & the full bathroom had strong hot & cold water. We were able to cook all our meals using the electric hotplate & enjoy our coffee/tea by warming up the water w/the kettle provided. The owners left homemade muffins on our arrival. I had to stop myself from eating them all in one day! Absolutely delicious! Make sure to take them up on the carton of eggs that can be pre-ordered. Unfortunately, since it rained the whole time, we were unable to explore the property, but what we could see from our tiny home was beautiful! You can tell the owners take pride in their land. The landscaping was clean & immaculate! The cats plus one dog that roam the property are cute, friendly, & always a joy to run into. Technically this was a business trip for us, but it felt like a vacation & we will definitely be coming back. Thank you, Carolyn and Julio for your hospitality!

2 nights at Tambo Ranch Tiny House Village

We had a lovely stay! The mini fridge was pre-stocked with some fresh eggs and apple crumble muffins (not sure but they were delicious!) The property is gorgeous and there are cute sheep, a llama, chickens and outdoor cats. The living space is ample and has all the essentials, plus heating in the chilly winter evenings!

4 sites · Lodging7 acres · Nevada City, CA

NOTE: From mid-October through mid-April, only the A Frame site is available.

A composting toilet is housed in a beautiful, well maintained outhouse and a heated outdoor shower is located next to the hot tub and cold plunge. These as well as the hot tub/cold plunge area are shared between our two sites. PLEASE NOTE: While many guests have found each spot to feel private, it's important to mention that these are located in a large clearing behind our house. You'll have ample space and privacy, with the added convenience of having someone nearby if you need anything. Distance to local attractions: Nevada City (11 minutes) Grass Valley (14 minutes) Yuba River (25 minutes) Scott’s Flat Lake (10 minutes) Cascade Canal Hiking (3 minutes) Hoot’s Trail epic mountain biking (17 minutes)

I’ve had the pleasure to be the “caretaker” of this special land once inhabited by the Maidu Indians for the past 43 years. This is SPECIAL ground here and I’m sure you will feel the MAGIC!!! This 40 acres sits on the Yuba River Ridgetop. At the "Platform of Pleasure" you will enjoy 100,000+ acre views of protected land looking North to the High Sierra, minutes away from downtown Nevada City and 15 miles from Yuba River Trailheads. Firewood bundles are $15 per bundle (2+ hours of campfire when campfires 🔥 are allowed). There is a $15.00 dog fee per dog/per stay. On our property like anywhere in the woods there are mosquitos, so you should bring bug spray. We offer a tent platform, as well as a canvas tent listing. Guests love staying here: "From the moment we arrived Chris was nothing but amazing. He helped us get settled in and even recommended some beautiful spots to hike/sight see. They are both so generous! The campsite beautiful and they did a very nice job supplying us with any materials we may need. Definitely coming back during the summer!"

Cute little cabin nestled in Tahoe National forest . This little gem is on an acre of land surrounded by national forest land. Close enough to Lake Tahoe to get to but also away from the Tahoe chaos. Host lives on property , but will most likely be out and about most of the day. There are two neighbors but both own 20 acres so you can not see them, feels very private. The front of the property where the cabin is located there will be some highway noise being close to highway 20 , especially during a busy weekend. you can’t hear highway noise while in the cabin and towards the back of the land. However it is nice to be so close to highway 20 because it leads to several different destinations. ( west : Nevada city. east: towards Tahoe, and both directions there are soo many lakes/ rivers ) Tiny house: •Full sized futon downstairs and king sized mattress in loft. Electric fireplace, all the game boards , cards, chess, fire pit, projector for movies if requested!!! •Additional guests are welcome to pitch a tent on the land if needed. •Hot plate, toaster oven, mini fridge, kitchen appliances, coffee (French press, drip, mocha pot). Black stone grill outside. Fire pit , check if fires are allowed during booking •Separate bathroom with compost toilet or a short walk to outhouse. Outdoor shower in the making, message if available. FUN: •Lake Spaulding is about 1/4 mile hike down from the property. There is a boat launch and plenty of room to park it on the property if you want to bring a boat. Also have two paddle boards you are welcome to use. Rivers/lakes/swimming holes: •emerald pools, crystal clear water , cliff jumping , waterfalls . 10 minute drive •south yuba river 5-15 minutes depending on the spot (ask for recommendations ) •bowman lake road connects to several lakes . 10 minute drive •lake valley reservoir , 10 minute drive •donner lake, rent kayaks, paddle boards or a boat. 20 minutes • eagle lakes rd swimming hole about 5 minutes •truckee, the cutest town with fun shops, restaurants and bars, 25 minutes .
