100 acres of Private Forest & Creek Waterfalls, 15-Miles of Trails

Enjoy an unforgettable experience, rejuvenating with friends and family in nature, while just 10 minutes from historic Nevada City's shops and restaurants. The spacious 7-bedroom, 9-bed Forest Homestead (1 king, 6 queens, plus queen sofa sleeper, twin bed & 4 groomed tent sites) is located on 100 acres, with a sunny deck overlooking a the mountains.

Guests can enjoy a 15-mile private network of beautiful hiking & mountain biking trails and a creek with cascading waterfalls in winter & spring, just a 5-minute drive from the south yuba state park and yuba river swimming holes.

The 3,500 sf homestead offers privacy and outdoor beauty for guests seeking time in nature, while just 10 minutes from historic Nevada City’s theater, local shops, and gourmet restaurants. It is the ideal getaway for groups of outdoor enthusiasts, healing retreats, and families.

Gaze at the trees and wildlife from the privacy of each of the 7 bedrooms and relax together in the two living rooms upstairs, one with a wood stove, the living room downstairs, the game room or the mountain-view deck. Each of the 5 bathrooms feature organic towels and natural products.

The master bedroom features a king mattress with organic sheets and private bathroom with spacious, over-sized relaxation tub. The four other bedrooms on the main floor and foldout queen sleeper include queen-sized beds with organic sheets and forest views.

The downstairs, accessible through the kitchen and also by driving directly to the back entry, includes two sunny bedrooms with queen beds, a bathroom with a claw foot tub and shower. The downstairs has an additional kitchen, another spacious living room lined with sugar pine from the land and a wood stove for cozy winter nights.

The kitchen is fully equipped with everything a chef might need, including a double oven, microwave, toaster oven, blender, coffee grinder, pots and pans.

The game room is set-up with a pool table that converts to ping pong table, dart board, and board games. Outdoor on-site activities include hiking and mountain biking on private trails, hammock naps and a three-hole frisbee golf course.
