Summary: We had a wonderful stay at the Wisdom Retreat. It was exactly what we were looking for: a remote cabin in a beautiful forest where we could escape the hustle and bustle of city life. Adam was a great host. He quickly responded to messages and stay made sure we were comfortable during our stay (and he's fun to talk to!). For three days we replaced our TV with a fireplace and loved every minute of it. We saw two bears on our way in which was really cool. There are some great walks you can do without leaving the property. When we went in late November, there was snow on the ground in places (needed good, warm boots). The Yuba River is a short drive. We went to Malakoff Diggins State Park which has some great hikes as well. Things to know: This rental is for people who enjoy being close to nature. The cabin is very rustic and has limited amenities. There was no hot water and the nearest bathroom is a composting outhouse (hot water may be available in the future). There is a flushing toilet and hot shower available at the main house. So why the price? The beautiful, remote, private location makes it worth it. I also appreciate the difficulties and expenses associated with running a remote off-grid property. In my experience, being closer to nature means giving up some modern conveniences. Also note: Firewood for the cabin is included. Firewood for outdoor fires is an additional cost (at the time of this writing). So if you're looking for a remote, beautiful place to unplug, and you appreciate the simplicity of a rustic (limited amenities) cabin, this place is great. My son and I made some great memories here.

Summary: Serenity was a comfortable and peaceful stay. We really enjoyed it and the listing is very accurate. The things I think someone might want to know are: 1) If it is cool, you'll need to light the wood burning stove. They have lots of kindling and it is pine, so it isn't super hard. 2) The walk to the bathroom isn't too far, but far enough to make it something kids wouldn't want to do at night by themselves. 3) It might be 17 minutes to the nearest store, the country store that is closer was closed the whole time we were there.

Summary: It's far away from everything and the setting is just gorgeous. The cabins are comfortable, well equipped and charming. It was our 4th stay at Adam's cabins and we will come back.

Summary: Such a wonderful location! The views and the area just took my breath away. We had such an amazing time we extended our stay. The location has such a healing feel to it. Definitely will come and stay there again! We booked the serenity cabin and loved it so much! The privacy was wonderful, the trails are wonderful, and the owner is very accommodating & nice! We just left and are already talking about the next time we go up. Book here for a wonderful trip in the woods & be healed by the powers of nature.

Summary: The Serenity cabin was a perfect place in which to unwind and relax. The distance away from the other cabins means that it's very quiet and private. The space is cozy and well-designed and we loved watching deer stalk across the meadow from the front porch. The back porch is perfect for a morning coffee! Adam is a great, low key host full of suggestions for special places to go and trails to explore. Definitely bring a torch or head lamp for trips to the bathroom at night ;)

Summary: We were challenged and invigorated by the isolation of Serenity Cabin. The silence was powerful. Having a forest all to ourselves and the canopy of stars at night. It was dry in mid summer and hot so we didn't explore the land as much as we would have in the other seasons. A very special place. The cabin is glamping in a very beautiful Western aesthetic raw wood, kick your cowboy boots (Teva's actually) up on the porch. And few mosquitoes. All the firewood and propane you need. Boil the water and you have all you need. We spent our days at Purdon and Hoyt's Crossing on the Yuba about 30 minutes away. Evenings and mornings we had all the privacy and quiet we could ask for. I recommend this place if you've got some Thoreau in your soul.

Summary: Serenity is a beautiful cabin in the middle of the Sierra. Be prepared to be really in the middle of nowhere, no signal, no distractions! It s just you and the nature, and this is exactly what we wanted from this vacation!

Summary: Staying at the eco-preserve was so magical for us! Our cabin was very cozy, we loved having electricity and the option to use the bathroom in the main house while still feeling close to nature. A deer literally stepped out of the woods to greet us when we arrived. Our favorite part - the woodstove! So nice. Adam is a super generous host, he helped make sure the internet was working and gave us tips on where to find good hiking trails in the area. He is incredibly responsive to messages. I hope we can visit again soon!
