The Most Romantic Creekside Cabin - with Hot Tub and Privacy

Tara is a romantic and elegant cabin on 30 private acres of woodland.

The luxurious one room cabin has wooden beam ceilings and floors, surrounded by windows with green tree-filled views and creek frontage. It boasts a fully equipped kitchen and everything needed to cook a gourmet meal. Down bedding with 100% cotton linens. French doors open onto multi-leveled decks (hot tub) overlooking the creek. It is THE place to relax and recharge in serene beauty and comfort.

The creek below the deck has private swimming holes, waterfalls, and large granite flat rocks for sunbathing. This is a “too good to be true” place to get away from it all.

Sit by the cozy wood stove in winter
Relax on the sunny deck in spring.
Float in private swimming holes in summer.

Enjoy the camp at Lover's Pool, with chairs, floats, chaise lounges, and an umbrella. Bring the picnic tote, a towel, reading material, and stay for hours in Heaven. The creek is completely PRIVATE for cabin guests only.

Historic Nevada City is just a 10 minute drive. Dine, shop, hike and explore the area. Or just enjoy a slow and peaceful day at the cabin, lying in the sun, sitting near and floating in the creek, reading or napping by the fire or on chaise lounges. Evenings and sunsets are sweet in the fading light of the day - while enjoying a glass of wine on the deck or soaking in the hot tub.

Sierra Nevada mountains, LakeTahoe, Donner Lake and the historic town of Truckee are an easy hour away.

An outdoor motion-activated Security Camera is mounted on a PG&E pole adjacent to the driveway. (It monitors only the road and cabin driveway. Not the cabin itself)

Cute cabin with privacy! Nice location with wild turkeys to watch. Cabin had everything we needed, except a microwave and a tv. The tv was in a closet, which needed to be set up. Definitely, a cabin for tree huggers. With that being said, we had a wonderful time.

I think having the hot tub operate at a higher temperature would have been nice. The kitchen did not have a microwave or air fryer, so it was difficult to reheat food.

I have never taken the time to leave a review, but our stay at Tara cabin was so special that I couldn't wait to tell all of you about it! Absolutely everything was perfect! As soon as you drive up you realize how special the place is. The cabin is absolutely adorable with cozy furnishings, a stocked kitchen and a gorgeous bathroom. The deck wraps around the cabin and leads to the back where you can enjoy a two-person hot tub with breathtaking views! The entire property is completely private and you truly feel disconnected from the loud world. From the deck you can walk down a maintained path all the way to Rock Creek. The creek has endless waterfalls, pools to swim in, and of course fishing. Although we didn't catch anything, reports say there are some big fish in it. We booked our next stay already and plan on having many many more! It might be a little pricey, but I would say to all of you... SPLURGE! You won't be disappointed!! Thank you to the owners for sharing such an enchanting place!
Perfect spot to sun bath or pan for gold!
Little fishing holes all over!

As John Muir put it. "I went into the forest to lose my mind and find my soul." This magical place has become one of our favorite stays. If you want to unwind, relax, find yourself and hust revonnect with nature this is an absolutely beautiful accomodation. It's everything described in the listing if not more. Linda is an amazing hostess. The home is immaculate and stocked with everything you would need. Now for the surrounding grounds...photos do not do it justice. Stunning!!

Staying at Tara was an amazing experience. Everything was exactly what we were looking for to get away for the weekend! The cabin was spacious, the kitchen had everything we needed to prepare meals including spices and condiments (except butter), the couch was so comfortable, there were extra blankets, towels, toilet paper and even a first aid kit. The privacy was amazing, it was like being in our own little world. My husband and I enjoyed the hot tub (and skinny dip) and I took a relaxing bath in the generously sized tub both nights we stayed. The hike down to the creek from the deck in back was steep but worth it, to a small pond where we came across two wild minks (yes they were minks, the area is at the fringe of there geographic range)! But we spent the majority our time at a swimming hole called “the baths” which was a much easier hike to an amazing rock formation the creek ran through, the picture doesn’t do it justice. Believe me, this place is highly rated for a reason and you will not be disappointed!

Entire place was great, even in the August heat of 80 degrees, it was so nice to spend time down by the creek, a quick jump in and out of the water was plenty. We thought we'd go into town for meals, but ended up cooking and staying in–eating lunch at the creek and dinner up on the deck. Can't wait to visit again!

Dream cabin

The Perfect Romantic Getaway!This cabin was everything we hoped for and more. The views were absolutely breathtaking — waking up to the sound of the river every morning felt like a dream. The space was cozy, clean, and beautifully decorated, with so many thoughtful touches that made it feel extra special. We especially appreciated the peace and privacy — it felt like we had our own little world tucked away in nature. The host was incredibly responsive and thoughtful throughout our stay, which made everything even more seamless. Truly the perfect romantic escape for couples looking to disconnect and relax. We can’t wait to come back!

One With Nature

The cabin is situated perfectly above the river. It is very relaxing with the sound of water rushing below with just enough presence to put you to sleep and that’s with the windows open!! No shades, just big windows to let nature in!! Eerily quiet. 2 trails to the river, 1 easy 1 a tad more down hill. We are seniors and did both. Kitchen well equipped with modern appliances BBQ was perfect.Bed was comfortable and bath well equipped with plenty of soaps, lotions etc We highly recommend turning off the cell phone for a few days and become one with nature. Did not hear or see anyone the entire 3 days!! D & D

Ah Mazing!

Exceptional cabin overlooking rock Creek. The sound of the creek hit you once you get out of your car and doesn’t leave Your thoughts until your miles away. Truly, a magical place the pictures on the listing do not do it justice just how beautiful and serene the places if you’re looking for a hustle and bustle people around cars going by hearing other voices this is not the place for you. The whole property is extremely private with not a soul to be seen, the actual cabin had every amenity and touch of a five star hotel if the creek that’s just below the cabin was open to the public. It would be mauled with people but having your own private with multiple places to swim and hang out is truly unbelievable and every direction all you see is nature , we came to the cabin to escape the chaos of the city and never wanted to leave downtown Nevada city is only 15 minutes away by car in case you forget something but if you go just bring whatever food you need to to get by and you’ll never wanna leave your whole stay. Highly recommended

Living in nature

My husband and I fell in love with this place. As soon as I stepped out on to the deck I cried due to the sheer beauty and remoteness. It was our escape from the world and news and awful things people do to one another. We felt like we had a spiritual retreat. The creek was wild and pure. We didn’t leave the cabin other than the first night to get groceries. Then we reveled in the natural beauty and solitude. The cabin had everything we needed to cook full meals. We loved the hot tub under the twinkling sky. You sure can see a lot more stars here. Everything about the cabin was comfortable. We can’t wait to return.

Serenity

One of the best we’ve ever stayed at! Pictures and description of the cabin are accurate to what you’ll see. Our trip was 3 nights, and we didn’t leave the property at all. Truly secluded and private but so much you can do there. Gazing at the unobstructed views and creek. Sitting in the hot tub, walking the trails, exploring the outdoors, BBQing, yoga on the deck, and just taking in the peace. We had some rain but staying indoors was relaxing because there’s a firewood stove and windows all around, so you’re still immersed in the trees. The cabin was clean, had plenty of kitchen supplies, and we loved the bathroom amenities. I took advantage of taking a hot epson salt bath in the large bathtub and starred out into the forest. They truly thought of everything. We were surprised by the extra things they had available, those things we sometimes forget or just things to make the trip at ease. You’ll see once you experience the cabin for yourself.
