About this property

Magical Yurt in the woods - 2 miles from town

Experience the Beauty of the Sierra foothills and the Yuba River in our Yurt tucked into the forest just 2 miles from downtown Nevada City. Country Living magazine listed Nevada City as one of the top 10 small cities. Grass Valley is 10 minutes away as well and has more food, shopping, and entertainment for you. Access to the Yuba River is as close as 20 minutes to Edwards Crossing and 20 mins to Hoyts Crossing on Highway 49.

Come and relax! This unique and beautiful 18' yurt is tucked into a lush watershed area. Surrounded by Ferns, Madrones, Incense Cedars, and Doug Firs, you will never know you are only two miles from town. Country Living magazine listed Nevada City as one of the top 10 small cities. Our property connects to the Woodpecker Preserve and the Gracie Trail if you hike up the mountain. With a natural creek right outside your door and hiking trails right off the deck, this serene and beautiful yurt retreat awaits you.

We absolutely recommend trying to stay for two or more nights so that you can get accustomed to the space, learn the property, settle in, and relax.

Things you might like to bring: headlamps, robe, flip flops, slippers, hiking shoes.

There is a wood-fired stove inside with plenty of wood stacked to keep you warm and there is a wood-fired hot tub that is dedicated to this yurt only. Both require a fire to be lit and maintained to keep it hot.

The kitchen is fully equipped with a hot plate, toaster oven, microwave, refrigerator, cutlery, pots and pans, grill, etc. There should be charcoal available, but if not, please plan to bring your own or go to the store.

Water: we are on a well and provide fresh drinking water in a container for you. It’s fine to drink, cook, and bathe with the water from the tap but it can have a minerally quality to it. We test the well annually. We provide filtered water but if it runs out, the water out of the tap is safe and delicious.

Fireplace: We will leave you a bundle of wood that comes with the rental. If you need more wood you can purchase it from us or from the grocery store. We have lots of wood at the yurt and we ask you to pay $10 per bundle if you use more then we leave you inside. This is on the honor system. If you don’t know how to start a fire you may want to bring an instant log.

The hot tub: it’s wood-fired. This means you have to heat it with a fire to get it hot. This can take many hours to get to the right temperature. It’s a good idea to start a fire right when you get there!

Sleep: we have a heating blanket for cold nights. It’s about 10 degrees cooler on our land than in town. There will be a fan for you as well during the warm season.

It’s a beautiful time of year on the property. If you walk the trails around the property and keep going up, you will hit the irrigation streams, so beautiful right now! You can also walk up the street to access the same waterways. Please stay on the paths and do not allow dogs, kids, etc. to put unnecessary wear and tear on the environment.

We have 19 chickens and two baby goats (born 3/14/25). You're welcome to take fresh eggs out of the indoor coop. Feel free to go into the pen and interact with the goats; they love fresh branches, fresh leaves, chips, and crackers. They are currently bottle-fed fed so they like to suck on fingers as well. They love attention! The spotted one is Rocket, and the yellow one is Willow.

Checkout: Checkout time is 11 am. Here’s how to check out -Please do the dishes. Pile your used towels together so I don’t wash things that haven’t been used. Leave the door unlocked and leave the trash where it is, and we will take care of it. Just send me a text to 510-541-9416 that you’ve left if possible, so we can come and get it ready for the next person.

Land acknowledgment: We acknowledge that our property is located on unceded land. It is the traditional homeland of the Nisenan tribe. The Nisenan tribe is alive and active and continues to fight for federal recognition and compensation for land loss. We donate 10% of proceeds to CHIRP, which promotes the history and culture of the Nisenan tribe.https://chirpca.org
And the Bear Yuba Land Trust, which helps protect the fragile Yuba watershed. https://www.bylt.org


Thank you,
Enjoy your stay and be well!

Perfect little getaway

My partner and I stayed here for an evening getaway and little birthday celebration, and it was absolutely magical! The property was beautiful and secluded, the hiking trails were fun to explore, and they provided everything we needed for a perfect stay. The cedar hot tub was fired up prior to our arrival, which is a highlight of this property! Along with the outdoor shower that was wonderful no matter what time of day. We’ll definitely be coming back!
