This land was home to the Miwok, then European and Chinese miners, then a cattle rancher. It was also home to a former nun who quit the dominican order to purchase this land for inner city kids to have a chance to ride, swim, hike and fish. We moved here in 2017 and purchased this land with the main goal to raise our large family here, but we have found that good things must be shared! There is NOTHING like being in the wilderness of this area for a good re-centering of the soul! We have found it to be a true blessing for our family, and we hope you can experience this blessing as we share this space with you. We feel certain you will not be disappointed with this beautiful river canyon. Our property is situated right on the middle fork cosumnes river. We have 2 sleeping cabins and several tent sites (can be rented separately). The cabins offer a rustic/minimalist type vibe - bring your own bedding/pillows to sleep on the comfy futon. A table and chairs are provided for the cabins. Tent sites have a wood table (bring your camp chairs) and a fire pit when the season is open for burning. The swimming is awesome and the stars at night will put you into a state of awe! Many family owned wineries in the area, most of them offering free tasting. It’s a short drive to Tahoe and the Marshall gold discovery site as well as the historic hangtown Placerville. The recent Caldor Fire was VERY close to our property and a back burn was initiated nearby the cabins. It is still as beautiful as ever but please know there are lots of slash piles. Falling trees and burned up stump holes are also a risk and it is presumed campers will be cautious and use at their own risk. Please don't hesitate to shoot us a message if you have any questions!

Camping in the mountains
I really enjoyed how close the walk was to the river. It’s about two minutes away and it feels as though you’re in your own secluded world.

Cabin #2
Our Labor Day Plan to Swim/Float
The river was great, even in early September when the temps were in the 90s. We spent almost all of our time at the water and it is mostly waist deep to shallow but slightly deeper water was found by walking up river a bit. Floating was easy. We stayed in one of the small cabins and a fan was provided which was helpful overnight to keep us comfortable.

This is our second time staying at this location, first time site #3 and this time site #6. This site is perfect and so close to the river access. We had friends staying in site 5,7, and 4 which was perfect for our large group! This being are second time coming we were familiar with site #3’s river access and just when we thought this place could get any more nice we see the beautiful beach access sites 4-7 have. The bathroom’s these past two times I’ve gone have been always kept clean and toilet paper stocked. I can’t thank you enough Noleen for letting us stay in such a beautiful place. Can’t wait to come back soon!
