Truly a peaceful pond retreat! I knew right away when I saw the tiny bird feeder next to the door, this was the place for me. A wonderful, comfortable and safe amazing experience. I will be back next year! For anyone with a hectic life, this is the perfect getaway. Unplug and connect with nature. The host is terrific and answered every silly question I had. :-)

Perfect spot

This was our first getaway with our brand new baby and it was perfect! We loved the outdoor area by the pond, especially with the lights at night. We will be back! Our dogs loved it too and Nicole was a great host and helped us every time I reached out with a question.

Relaxing comfort in nature

Nicely maintained modern RV with lovely view of the pond. Pleasant to have table and chairs inside mosquito net enclosure. Enjoyed listening to the frogs croaking. One reason we chose the property was they are pet friendly. Hostess was gracious and accessible.

Beautiful getaway

Quiet, well-kept, and decorated with soft night lighting, this property offers a respite from busyness, but was close to Auburn, Grass Valley, and Nevada City. We loved our stay in the peaceful countryside.

Your body will thank you

I am retired and have a bad knee. But my aches and pains were less while out by the pond. I love the quiet and nature showing itself everywhere. Great site for star watching too. We saw one shooting star the first night. Good glamping. Even my old dog, Emma, loved walking around and around the camper on the leash.

A great place to take a pause

I would 100% recommend. The trailer is super cozy & has everything you need. Both the bed & futon are super comfy. The best part is the pond. It is such a peaceful lil place to take a breather & break from the hustle. It has a constant flow of water going through & it was so calming. We brought the dogs and they loved it as well. Highly recommend. Thank you for your hospitality!
