About this property

Peaceful Pond Retreat - Waterfront Camper Glamping

Enjoy the sounds of nature swaying pond side on a hammock or enjoying cocktails in a lounge chair. Tucked away in the pines, but just 10 minutes to a grocery store this camper turned cottage is sure to give you a mental and physical recharge.

Quiet and relaxing with minimal noise and light pollution make this spot perfect for a get away. Vast open skies offer exquisite star gazing. The year round pond and creek are rare gems here in the sierras.

Inside the camper has been remodeled with updated paint and furniture. A queen bed, futon and twin air mattresses (available on request) make this the perfect spot for a gathering of friends, family, solo travel or even romantic sanctuary.

Need some extra room for more guests? Contact me about camping options. I am happy to have a large 2 room tent set up with bed(s) and linens for your stay (additional fee) or direct you where to set up a tent of your own!

Looking forward to your stay!

Surrounded by Local Wineries and Hiking Trails

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.

Serene stay by the pond
Beautiful and cozy stay by a lovely pond. Got my hygge on in the warm RV while it rained outside. Host was very accommodating and helpful; when we were away for the day she fixed the awning that was downed in the wind. Would love to stay here again!

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!

Perfect getaway for our family!
We recently stayed in celebration of our son's 10th birthday, and the place was absolutely amazing! Nicole does a perfect job of balancing privacy and communication to her guests, and it's evident that a lot of thought has gone into the amenities that she provides at the property. Check-in and check-out were easy, everything in the camper is well-organized and perfectly sized for the space, and the pond had several places to relax, despite the cool weather. Our kids had a blast in the canoe while my wife and I ate brunch at the pond-side table. Later that night, we all enjoyed dinner by the outdoor fire pit. The handmade fairy lanterns were a nice touch as well. :-) If you're looking for an affordable, private location to relax and unplug for a few days, then look no further than the Peaceful Pond Retreat! It's clear that Nicole is passionate about providing a stellar experience to her guests, and we can't wait to come back! Thanks Nicole! -Naomi and Tommy O.

Peaceful ponds.. more like PARADISE PONDS!!!
I want to start off by saying I’m super grateful to Nicole for opening up their property to us! I got the fabulous opportunity to spend my 5 year Anniversary exploring the Yuba river and this amazing little property and I’m beyond happy with my visit. From the moment we got on property we were greeted by the most wonderful fluffy haired attendant (adorably big husky?pupper) who so kindly took the liberty to give us an entire tour of the outside amenities, tons of outdoor seating and the pond? Stunning view! We actually took the liberty to have a late night movie night by the pond with a full screen projector and speaker provided by Nicole that was super simple to set up and put away!! The Rv itself was spectacularly clean! And coming in to see the AC was already on and we had a nice cool place to cool off after being in the sun all day was such a careing touch. The Kitchen is FULLY stocked with anything you could need for the night! Im a bit of a home chef so this set up really let me spoil my partner with a beautiful meal. Pork Ribs, steak, Baked Bacon Potato Roses, cornbread, and home made cinnamon rolls for dessert! I mean the whole sha-bang, trust me you have room!! My biggest worry before booking was warm showers. Iv had previous bad experiences with RVs/bed&breakfasts where the warm water would only run for 5-10 minutes but Nicole has hot water for daaayyyssss!! It felt so nice to wash all the sand out of my hair at the end of the night I’m telling you now BOOK THIS STAY. You will not be disappointed. My only regret was letting my shyness get the best of me and not offering a plate to our lovely hosts!!! Hopefully next time 😉We can’t wait to come back soon!!

Quiet lovely stay
We three, including our rescue white shepherd, Tiburon (Tibby) had a delightful stay on Nicole’s property. Lovely, quiet and peaceful 3 nights, listening to the wonderful crickets chirping each evening. Friends brought over their dog, Boomer, and Tibby and Boomer raced around the fenced-in area for an hour or more. The RV was spacious, all the utilities, stove, heat, shower, toilet? etc worked well, and the bed was very comfortable. Nicole was very responsive to our questions. Wonderful place to stay if one wants to explore the Grass Valley/Nevada City area. We will definitely return.

A Little Slice of Heaven
The name sums it up. I loved this property and didn’t want to leave. All of the touches from the hammocks to little books to air plants to dinosaur island were fun and designed with love. Gorgeous setting. Cozy, relaxing and calming environment. I’ve never felt so at peace. Highly recommend!!

Great glamp!
This property was great. Very easy to find and in a great location. Nicole was very easy to work with. We went to Oregon Creek day use area. It was about an hour away but was amazing. Also went to downtown grass valley which was cool. Would recommend staying here to anyone. Only thing I would say is that it was a little less relaxing with a 2 and 5 year old.

Just idyllic!
I was looking for a peaceful getaway for my dog and I on July 4th because it is extremely noisy where we live. And I found it!!! The pond was as beautiful as the pictures and I loved that there was a large fenced area for my dog to roam in, while in full view of me. Nicole was extremely welcoming and I will be coming again. I guess people should know that it is a steep driveway, just something to be aware of. I had no trouble with my Toyota sedan. Thanks, Nicole, for a wonderful stay!

About the host

Hi! My name is Nicole. I live on site about 100 yards down the hill from the BnB site and am happy to answer questions and help make your stay as relaxing as possible.

Why they chose this property

After traveling around the country for a year I landed here in Grass Valley, California. I absolutely fell in love with the people and the local small towns of Grass Valley and Nevada City. Most importantly I fell in love with the beautiful Yuba River. Coming from the East coast it was the first true blue river I had ever seen.

Eventually I searched for a home of my own and found this place. There are so few properties in this area with a year round pond and creek along with being bordered by Wolf Creek. Surrounded by water, I knew this was my home.
