Little House in the Big Woods

This guest-house cabin is nestled on our family’s 5 acres in the pine forests of the Sierra Nevadas. Only 3hrs from San Francisco, 2hrs from Sacramento, and 20min from Chico, come unplug in this newly remodeled space and enjoy a slice of authentic rural living. Recharge in solitude or get out-and-about to enjoy the countryside. There is nearby hiking, mountain biking, disc golf, & swimming. Also only about an hour drive to beautiful Lake Almanor and the amazing gem of Lassen National Park. The furnishings and amenities in this tiny-home cabin are designed to maximize relaxation starting with the Cal King bed and Casper memory foam mattress. In addition to that, the 55” Roku smart-TV, espresso maker, fully stocked kitchenette, small library of some of our favorite books, board games & puzzles, washer & dryer, along with the pellet stove fireplace for winter stays, were all thoughtfully curated to allow you to rest, unwind, and enjoy yourself. There is an abundance of wildlife here. Some of our favorites are deer, turkey, and salamanders. We are working to clear out the overgrown sections of the forest and establish meadows in more open sections. We are also rehabilitating a very small old orchard to bear fruit again. The cabin is located adjacent to our home on the property. The cabin shares the property with our home but a large portion of the yard is maintained solely for the use of cabin guests. We occasionally rent our house as well. The studio space feels private with no obligation to interact with the main house residents. You’ll be able to check in independently to the entirely independent guest-house unit. We will send check in details like your door-code on the day of your arrival. A few days before your booking we will share a guidebook full of our personal recommendations of things to do in the area. We engage with guests promptly on the AirBnB platform. For general inquiries and support we are typically available between 8am and 8pm. For urgent matters we are usually on-site or available as needed. We are located in a very safe neighborhood and a fantastic community of awesome humans. The forest here is predominantly Ponderosa Pine, Doug Fir, Maple, and Black Oak. It’s a very special place! During your stay, recharge in solitude or get out-and-about to enjoy the countryside. We HIGHLY recommend a day-trip to the Lake Almanor area and the amazing gem of Lassen National Park. It is very easy to go up to go boating, fishing, or a hike to the hot springs and hydrothermal areas. The drive between here and there is on well maintained roads and the scenery along the way is absolutely stunning. Additionally, while Chico may look a bit far away on the map, the highway gets you there in 20 short minutes. This university-town is well known for its mixture of vibrant energy, the arts, and small-town rural living. The area boasts truly amazing restaurants, bars, shopping and modern amenities. And our property is very close to access points for Chico’s famous upper region of Bidwell Park. There are dedicated parking spots on the property next to the house. The driveway and the street are both gravel, but very well graded, well maintained, and accessible by all types of vehicles. We do get occasional snow in the winter which is the only thing that can limit accessibility. Our personal background is in regenerative agriculture and our family operates this property as a small homestead. At different times of the year it will feel more active in that regard than others. We occasionally have poultry on the property and we have previously grazed a herd of goats with livestock guardian dogs to help thin the forest and keep it healthy. There is also a small orchard and some forested acreage that you may see someone tending during your stay although we strive to minimize this work while guests are on site.
