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)

The property was exquisite. Like a dream. So private and so beautiful. Sitting under the stars at night in the hot tub was amazing. Exploring the creek was amazing. Never saw another human. Just what I needed. Can't wait to go again

AMAZING GETAWAY LOCATION!
This cabin is one of a kind! Nestled in amongst the trees with private swimming holes, it is a perfect location to relax and unwind. My husband and I spent our 30th anniversary at Tara and we will definitely go back! The property manager made the trip so easy. Very responsive! 100% recommend booking this property!

Perfect reboot
Everything about this stay and place is perfect. We wanted some time to rest, relax, unplug, but be in nature and have access to hiking. We had the best time. Perfect little secluded spot to think, read, rest, and meditate. I highly recommend!!

romance at it's finest
I just surprised my husband with a weekend stay and once again the home and area were beyond perfect! We picked up groceries and never left the cabin once we got there. We ate every meal outside in the natural beauty and silence. I can never get enough of this place and we will continue to come and stay when we can.

Incredible
Mother Nature at her finest. We were able to thoroughly unwind in the serenity of the private streams, swimming holes, and waterfalls. The secluded cabin was like an elegant tree house with floor to ceiling windows perfectly showcasing the breathtaking views of the surrounding trees. The hosts were very helpful, welcoming, and available for questions. The location is off the beaten path but also a short drive to beautiful Nevada City. This property is a magical place and I can't wait to return.

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.

So Good--We've Made Tara a Tradition!
This is our second time at Tara and at this point my fiancé and I have decided coming to Tara is a new tradition for us. The property is incredibly special--very secluded--and even if you don't venture out too far, the stream below provides the perfect calming soundtrack for a day reading on the deck. The amenities in the cabin are excellent. The TV with all the DVDs was a nice extra amenity that we used a few times. Additionally, the soaking tub in the bathroom is one of my favorite parts of the cabin. Taking a bath is a must at Tara! Although we had absolutely no issues last trip to Tara, this trip we had some issues with the oven and wifi at the cabin but the property manager and owner were extremely accommodating, helpful, and communicative throughout our stay. So if something does go wrong, know that you are in good hands! Cannot recommend this cabin highly enough! We love Tara. :)

Very secluded!
Pro: The seclusion was amazing - views of the trees from big windows, sound of the rushing creek when sitting outside, very little extraneous noise. The cabin itself is so cute and super clean. Very well appointed kitchen. Comfy bed, lots of hot water, just lovely. Con: Hot Tub noise (we left more tired than when we came due to the constant on/off of the hot tub - hardly any sleep). The owner's instructions require you to never turn off the hot tub. And, we couldn't open the windows by the bed due to the heater exhaust being under the window. Owner's instructions require you to not open the window if heater is on. We couldn't use the woodstove because it wasn't the season - but we used it anyway the second night so we could try and drown out the hot tub noise with the lovely creek sound. Our conclusion was that the ideal time to come is the warmer months when you don't need the heat and the hot tub wouldn't constantly come on to overcome the cold of the night.

Isolated Oasis!!!
The photos do NOT do this place justice at all. We wanted some time alone and away from noise, holidays, traffic, and people! Somewhere we would not be bothered by neighbors, family, kids, pets, other peoples kids, pets, questions, etc. Absolutely perfect place for this. As we walked in, we were impressed. Wood stove was perfect, floors and counters and windows are magnificent. I love the kitchen in this place and would not mind cooking all day, every meal. Weber Propane grill on the deck, hot tub perfect for 2 on the deck, already heated to 101 and ready for use. The bathtub is Ginormous and built for 2 grown adults. We immediately turned the central heat off and fired up the wood stove. Made dinner, poured drinks and relaxed. We did not leave during our weekend stay. No need. The river was rushing and provided the best ambient noise for sleep we have had in a long time. What a pleasure to say in such a cool place. Season does not matter. Awesome place to get away from it all with someone you love being around. Thank you.

Truly a unique, beautiful and peaceful property about 10 minutes outside of downtown Nevada City -- surrounded by trees, mossy rocks, and creek views, with many visiting wild turkeys throughout our stay !!
