Magical Lost Sierra Bungalow - Stargaze & Unwind

Step back in time at the Lost Sierra Bungalow, a cozy riverside retreat built in the 1960s using reclaimed timbers from 1800s Sierra Valley barns. Nestled where the Yuba River meets Haypress Creek, this peaceful hideaway opens to the sound of rushing water and birdsong.

Whether you’re sipping coffee on the deck, cooking a meal with friends, or stargazing under string lights, this cabin invites you to slow down and reconnect with nature.

The heart of the cabin is the spacious great room — perfect for curling up by the wood-burning stove, playing games, dancing, or gathering for shared meals.

The country kitchen is fully stocked with everything you need to cook: a four-burner stove, fridge, coffee maker, pots, pans, dishes, utensils, spices, oils, and more. Step out to the large deck with BBQ grill and outdoor dining area — magical at dusk under the twinkle lights and stars.

Sleeping arrangements:

Downstairs: 1 queen bedroom + 1 bathroom (clawfoot tub & shower)

Upstairs: 3 bedrooms (1 queen, 1 full, 1 twin room for kids) + 1 bathroom

Year-round adventure:

Spring–Fall: Hiking & biking trails for all levels, Yuba River fishing & swimming nearby.

Winter: Borrow our sleds and explore by snowshoe, ski, or snowmobile.

Connectivity: No TV, but great Wi-Fi — stream, work remotely, or unplug and enjoy the quiet.

What makes it special:

This is a true Lost Sierra retreat — cozy, rustic, and deeply relaxing. The perfect mix of nature, comfort, and nostalgia. Watch the light move through the pines, listen to the creek, and reconnect with what matters.

Guests have full access to the home and plenty of parking for cars, bikes, and even snowmobiles in winter. The bungalow is all yours — a private, peaceful mountain retreat.

Our cabin is old-fashioned and full of charm — the upstairs can be chilly in winter and warm in summer. We provide extra blankets for cool nights, and suggest opening windows after sunset during summer to let in the mountain air.

Please treat our home and the surrounding land with care. A light tidy-up (dishes, vacuuming if needed) helps us keep this place special for years to come. No need to do laundry or take out ashes — we’ll handle that.

This is a true Lost Sierra experience: cozy, rustic, and rooted in nature.
