Our most refreshed cabin: a queen under hand hewn beams, armchairs by the windows, a full kitchen, and a newly updated bathroom.

Cabin 3 is where we send people who ask for the best of both: the character of a classic Sierra cabin from the early 1980s and the comforts that matter most, freshly done. A real standalone cabin with painted brick walls, wagon wheels on the front fence, and a red gabled porch looking over the lawn to the mountains.

THE CABIN

The bedroom is generous for a cabin, with a queen bed, knotty pine doors, a wall mounted TV, and a pair of armchairs set by windows that frame junipers, lawn and hills. Heating and cooling keep the cabin comfortable through warm valley afternoons and crisp mountain nights.

THE GROUNDS

The whole cabin is yours, along with the shared grounds: a big lawn under big trees, a fenced BBQ patio that all cabin guests share, and mountain views in every direction. At night the valley goes quiet and the stars come out properly.

THE NEIGHBORHOOD

Sierra Retreat sits on scenic Highway 395 in Coleville s Antelope Valley, where the West Walker River meets ranch country at the foot of the Sierra. Walker is about 5 minutes south for burgers, barbeque, gas and a general store. Topaz Lake, about 10 minutes north, is known for big rainbow and brown trout. Bridgeport and the Travertine Hot Springs are about 30 to 35 minutes south. Day trips: Mono Lake and Bodie ghost town about an hour, South Lake Tahoe about an hour and a quarter, Mammoth about an hour and a half, and Yosemite s Tioga Pass entrance roughly 90 minutes in season. Full grocery stores are in Gardnerville, about 35 minutes north.

GOOD TO KNOW

• The cabin blends old and new on purpose. Expect vintage bones, fresh updates where they count, and quiet.
• The full kitchen is the smart play here. Restaurants nearby are few, good, and close early, so bring groceries.
• The property sits along scenic Highway 395, set back under big trees. The road quiets down at night.
• Cell service in the valley can be spotty depending on carrier. WiFi is free.
• Nights run cool even in summer. Bring layers.
• Tioga and Sonora passes close in winter. Highway 395 itself stays open year round in almost all conditions.

HOUSE RULES

We keep the rules short so the retreat stays peaceful for everyone.

• No pets. We love them, but the retreat is pet free.
• No smoking anywhere on the property, indoors or out. This is high fire country.
• Quiet hours from 10pm to 8am. Sound carries in the valley.
• Primary guest must be 18 or older.
• Maximum 2 guests.
