Weekend Getaway Relax & Recharge 5 acres Nature Retreat & Dog Heaven!

Escape to a peaceful, dog-friendly Sierra Foothills cabin surrounded by 5 private acres on the border of Mountain Ranch and Mokelumne Hill, just a short drive from lakes, rivers, trails, and small towns like Murphys and Jackson

This cozy off-grid retreat is ideal for families, couples, and nature lovers looking to unplug, unwind, and reconnect. Enjoy quality time by the fire, play a board game, or simply relax while your dog explores freely.

Cell service is available, but there is no Wi-Fi, making this a true digital-detox getaway. We have T-Mobile and ATT that works great.

Winter note: The closest snow play is at Bear Valley, located past Arnold, CA.

Or Mokelumne Rivers on Electra Rd toward Jackson, to just sit and hang out on the river. Not recommended for pets and kids as much due to the rushing river waters.

Pet Policy
Dogs of all sizes are welcome. Please bring pet bedding or use the provided dog bed.
We kindly ask that guests clean up after pets and keep them close when outdoors.
And if you have a dog that sheds or with white hair, please don't let them sleep on the bed with the black duvet cover. For some reason, white dog hair is very difficult to clean up after; just be aware of the impact after you leave.
