This is our 2nd time staying at The cozy cabin nature retreat and dog heaven. We love love love it there. My husband's favorite part is the exploring, being in nature, comfy bed and how much our dog loves it there. My top of the list is the outdoor shower and the wood stove. BEST shower i have ever had!!! I dream about it all year long. Lol My little dog loves it there so much that when i was trying to get him in the truck and he ran back to the cabin door. He loves the freedom and the costco sized dog bed. The owners have really thought of EVERYTHING! Seriously just bring clothes, food and firewood. The linens and pillows are clean and sufficient. Everything is well thought out and a lot of fun. Very kid friendly but please watch them as you are in nature. I can't wait to go back for our next anniversary/birthday.

Nature glamping get away

Stayed 3 nights and could have easily stayed longer. So many fun activities around the property. We loved every minute of getting away from the everyday city life. My boys (8 & 10) and dog were in heaven. It's a fully stocked place and we actually packed too much. Just FYI we have Xfinity for Internet and cell and we didn't have service for either untill about 20 min down the hill. Highly recommend doing the guided Cavern Tour and going to the river access off Electra Rd (search Vaughts Beach). The grocery store Senders in Mountain Ranch has everything you may need (about 13 min away). We plan to return for sure! Thanks again Steven and Michelle. ll

Perfect glamping getaway

This cabin made for a perfect getaway. It was clean with all the amenities one would need. Michelle and Steve thought of everything. We enjoyed doing a movie night with the projector. The bathrooms were neat and clean. There were lots of games and things to keep my 12 year son outside and busy. The outdoor shower was wonderful and water was hot. Would recommend . 10/10. Would love to go again in the fall.

A great property and perfect base camp for exploring Gold Country. Like having a campground to yourself with the added plus of all of the comforts of home. Was a great solo (+dog) getaway and would be great for family trips and get togethers. Thanks for sharing your special place!

Wonderful place to vacation!

This place really exceeded our expectations. The property and the cabin are amazing! You really don't have to bring anything except food and clothes. It is so peaceful. The cabin is beautifully decorated and very clean. The owners thought of everything down to the smallest details. The shower is amazing! The bed is so comfortable. The zip line is awesome. But definitely start at halfway to get a feel for it. Hang on tight! It was so fun! My dog had a blast as well. He loved the dog bed that was provided and all the freedom. The owners are very easy to communicate with. Seem like really down to earth people. Looking forward to going back. It was a wonderful vacation!
