Private Hot Tub in the Pines in North Lake Tahoe
Great place to stay for a weekend getaway!

Cozy Cabin on Deer Creek
We had a lovely time at this peaceful, very cozy cabin. We loved the sound of the creek running below, the surrounding trees and nature, the outdoor tub, the goats! Being so close to Nevada City and amazing rivers and trails was such a treat.

Enchanted Woods Cabin
We just stayed at a wonderful cabin in the woods overlooking Lake Tahoe. The cabin had two single rooms with queen beds upstairs that were so comfortable and clean. The downstairs had a great kitchen with lots of room to cook and great appliances. It had a nice dining area and table to sit and eat your food. The tv was awesome lots of apps to watch tons of current movies and series. Loved that so much. Everything was clean and easy to use. I would definitely stay at the enchanted family owned amazing cabin. James

Cute Farmhouse Cabin in the woods w Privacy!
We didn’t have an AWD vehicle so we couldn’t make it up the hill, so we did park at the bottom- which was a little difficult. Had to make a couple trips and it is a decent walk especially in the rain and mud. Just make sure you are prepared for a walk or bring a vehicle that can handle big ruts and really muddy roads! (Not the hosts fault by any means and they clearly state that you need an AWD car in details!) The outdoor bathtub was frickin amazing! I felt like I was at a spa retreat. We loved this cozy cabin. Bed was comfy, things were clean, and everything was straightforward and easy to use. Kitchen had a rather miscellaneous selection of utensils and such so I’d suggest keeping it simple for meals. We went on a short walk around the property and came back with quite a few ticks. So that was not fun, but also not anyone’s fault. All in all- would absolutely 10/10 recommend staying here! I wish I could live there!

Cabin de Siewers
Would strongly recommend staying here for anyone who needs a place in north lake!

Hiker's Retreat Cabin
What an absolutely charming place!! Tucked up into the mountain between Belden & Quincy, this place is BEAUTIFUL & feels so secluded and peaceful, but is only 15 minutes from the adorable town of Quincy. Feather River is gorgeous and I pulled over 100 times to soak in the view/many waterfalls. For how remote this place is, the cabin was CLEAN! We have stayed in lots of small little remote cabins over the years and they always have spiders you just can’t seem to avoid up in the mountains. But this place was clearly very well taken care of and did not have any insect friends wandering inside that we saw. The toilet in our original cabin that we booked had an issue, but they were super quick to help us and move us over to another cabin. I was very impressed with their quick response and how friendly they were! The lower half of the site has an incredible “beach” area, this time of year it was a perfect spot to sit and read and watch the rapids! I definitely hope to visit again soon!

Mama Bear's Cabin
The cabin was clean, comfortable, not too far from town. We had a great weekend, recommending to everyone.

EAGLE - MODERN CABIN AT CONSTELLATION CREEK
Wonderful place to unplug and relax. We loved everything especially the record player in the room. We listened to every album. They love dogs and my pooch had so much fun pretending he is a big mountain dog. We will definitely be back to enjoy more of the area. It most certainly is rustic but not roughing it. My favorite way to travel. Plus the hot springs are nearby! So much outdoorsy fun to help you feel alive ❤️

Gorgeous Donner Lake 3BR + Loft Modern Home
This place was great for our family get together. Easy access to everything Donner Lake has to offer. 5 minutes to downtown Truckee. Enjoyed breakfast and dinner on the deck with a view of the lake. Well furnished with lots of amenities and responsive hosts. Definitely on our list of places to return to.

South Tahoe Vacation Home Snow Cabin!
The house was big enough to accommodate the 5 of us with room to spare. We were comfortable and felt right at home. All was clean and functional, the location was great to get into South Lake Tahoe and all the ski resorts. We never made it into the backyard although the bocci court was calling to us- but it kept snowing. The house and grounds are very well laid out. We hope to come back to play bocci!

Bear Den at South Lake Tahoe
We had a wonderful month at this cabin! It is located in a quite neighborhood, but walkable to open space, a grocery store, brewery, restaurants, cafes, etc. It's about a 10-15 minute drive to Heavenly and 40 to Kirkwood. The cabin was well equipped and had everything we needed to cook meals at home, do laundry, work occasionally. The fenced backyard was great for our dog, and the hot tub a welcome relaxation at the end of the day. Jason was always responsive when we needed anything. We can't wait to go back. Thanks!

Bella Vista
Big and interesting house! Lovely deers around!

Brand new Truckee HideAway at Gray's Crossing
Adam was very responsive throughout the process and answered all questions. He also allowed us to check in a little early which was very helpful with the little ones. House wise it was great and as described. The pics were accurate and really doesn’t capture how big the house is. The open space was great for adults being able to both entertain and watch the kids. The proximity to snow right off the back porch was perfect. Location was great and would definitely recommend and come back.

Tahoe Vacation Time permit #331746
Lori’s place was great for me and my family. Super convenient, great location, especially if you’re making plans for Heavenly Village. It’s literally a 5 minute walk. Lots of stuff around in the heart of South Lake Tahoe. Close to many stores and restaurants/bars and grills. Lori herself was very sweet and friendly. Enjoyed all our time there for the week. Home is very clean, comfortable, and cozy. Home away from home for sure! Would definitely recommend and stay again! Mahalo Lori!

Spacious Cabin Huge Deck Hot-Tub Private Beach
We had a fantastic stay—conveniently located in Carnelian Bay, making it easy to come and go at any time. Lori was a great host, very communicative, and provided an excellent guide to local activities, restaurants, and shops. You can’t go wrong with this beautiful cabin.

Sit back and relax at The Little River Hideaway!
Beyond expectations. I cannot wait to return here at least annually. One of the best airbnbs - surrounded by nature and serenity. Wish I could buy the home lol!
Your guide to North Star
All About North Star
North Star is a small locality in northern California’s Yuba County that sits at an elevation of 4,000 feet, nestled between the Tahoe National Forest and the Plumas National Forest in the Sierra Nevada Mountains. The area is home to a variety of mountain-top pine tree forests, where freshwater creeks flow into dramatic, cliffside waterfalls. Within a short drive, reservoir lakes like the Little Grass Valley Reservoir attract visitors looking to bring their kayaks and canoes for tranquil paddles amongst the secluded mountains.
The Yuba County area encompassing North Star was one of California’s first established counties in the mid-1800s, when prospectors flocked here during the height of the Gold Rush. To the east of town, the Underground Gold Miners Museum helps tell the area’s rich mining history, as well as the stories of miners who lived and worked here.
The best time to stay in a vacation rental in North Star
Overall, the North Star area experiences dry weather all year round. Summers are hot and sunny, but you can cool off at a local swimming spot at this time of year at one of the dozens of nearby reservoirs. Winter is cold, but snow is rare. Fall is cool and comfortable, and the Sierra Nevada Mountain foliage turns from deep green to shades of rich red and gold. You can see the fall foliage in full effect from the Camel Peak lookout point in the Plumas National Forest. Spring days are warm, but things cool off at night. Seasonal wildflowers including honeysuckle and purple California lilacs thrive along the Yuba Rim Trail at this time of year.
Top things to do in North Star
Sly Creek Reservoir
Sitting at more than 3,500 feet of elevation, Sly Creek Reservoir draws visitors on warm days to kayak and paddle through its sparkling blue lake waters. The reservoir is surrounded by enormous maple trees, showing off their deep green foliage during summer, winter, and spring, and shedding its green leaves for red and yellow in the fall.
North Table Mountain Ecological Reserve
The 2.5-mile Phantom Falls hike across Table Mountain passes by small waterfalls and sprawling meadows of yellow California poppies. From the reserve’s parking lot, you can follow the unmarked trail at the entrance and continue until you reach the final waterfall and scenic outlook at the end of the trail, the 135-foot Phantom Falls. The water flows between a crevice of North Table Mountain’s flat-top mesa, and in spring, hundreds of colorful wildflowers cover the mesa above the cascading falls.
Plumas-Eureka State Park
Plumas-Eureka State Park sits on 4,500 acres of northern California forest, home to a variety of pine trees amid the Sierra Nevada Mountains. The park houses relics from California’s Gold Rush era with historic blacksmith workshops and a gold mining museum. You can watch live blacksmith demonstrations using tools from the 1800s and learn about the mining process that drew in thousands of new settlers to this area at the height of America’s Gold Rush.
