About this property

Magical Lost Sierra Bungalow! Dog friendly, mountain paradise!

Welcome to the Lost Sierra Bungalow! This cabin was built in the early sixties, but much of the timbers came from Sierra Valley barns from the 1800's. Located at the confluence of the Yuba River and Haypress Creek, the house opens up to the sound of rushing waters and chirping birds.

The heart of the cabin is the spacious great room, perfect for relaxing, cozying up by the wood burning stove, playing games, dancing & sharing meals. The country kitchen provides all the essentials to craft a tasty meal and opens onto a large deck to BBQ and enjoy the outdoor dining table under the lights & stars. The kitchen includes a four burner stove, refrigerator, coffee maker, pots/pans, dishes and utensils, wine opener, garlic press, spices & oils, etc.

There is one bedroom (with a queen bed) and one bathroom (with a claw-foot tub & shower) downstairs. Upstairs, there is another bathroom and three bedrooms (one queen, one full, and the "kids" room with two twins). All bedrooms have linens and extra blankets for chilly evenings.

In the spring, summer & fall, hiking & biking trails of all levels are close by. Easy access to the Yuba River provides world-class fishing & swimming. In the winter, we have sleds to borrow & there are plenty of great spots to explore by snowshoe, cross-country ski or snowmobile.

To note, the cabin does not have a TV. There is however, great wifi, so bring your own screens if you'd like :)

And finally, please care for our old cabin as if it were yours and leave it in the clean condition that we have provided for you. It truly is a special place and we want to make it available for guests for many years to come. (with your help of course!)

Feel free to reach out with any questions you may have :)

Quiet little piece of heaven

It was a brisk fall weekend, perfect for a nice fire, cards and a good book. The colors all around were amazing and the cozy home was just as pictured.

A warm, informal vibe

Great place to hang around with people you care about. Not fancy, but cozy in a delightfully quirky way. Functional kitchen (no dishwasher ), close to wonderful hikes.

House was terrific. One of my children and her family were not able to come due to an illness but my son stayed. Rustic yet comfortable. A very pleasant stay.

A great cabin to stay in the basin lake area!

The cabin is spacious and easily accommodated 5 adults and our two dogs. There’s no TV but we brought our own and managed streaming for our family movie night. The WiFi works well. The kitchen was well stocked with plates, utensils and glasses. Some minor issues with appliances & bbq, but we worked through it. There are many games to play at the house and she has lots of towels and linens available. One of the bedrooms (queen bed) upstairs has a skylight in there so you can’t sleep after sunrise unless you have a sleep mask or you're an early riser.. Location is great as it’s near the Yuba river. There are certain spots where you can jump in, although the water is cold/refreshing. Communication and the check in/check out process was easy. Overall, we had a great time visiting the area and found our stay comfortable.
