About this cabin rental
Oct 1, 2025; LAKE IS FULL!
PET FRIENDLY: Please read entire description for information and Pet Policy
FINE PRINT: This is a nonsmoking cabin; smoking is permitted at the fire ring on the waterfront. The use of "medical cannabis" is not permitted. We are not a fit for you if you plan on using this product on our property. If discovered you will be charged an additional $250 cleaning fee, the remainder of your reservation will be canceled, and you will be asked to leave.
SEE VRBO LISTING #33190 FOR LODGE. IF THE CABIN IS RENTED DURING YOUR DESIRED DATES WE MAY BE ABLE TO OFFER YOU THE LODGE AT A DISCOUNT.
This charming rustic cabin is located on the property of Watanda Lodge, Nevada City, California, 2 1/2 miles from downtown Nevada City. This is a secret hide-away with lake, canoes, and large campfire ring. Sleeps up to 5 (2 adults and 3 kids under 12) or 4 adults, linens provided for queen bed, twin bunks and sleeper sofa. Linens provided in sealed bags or bring your own sleeping bag/linens. Beds will not be made up per CDC guidelines. Direct TV/DVD. Electric heat/AC and electronic fireplace. Porta-crib available.
Phone for local calls, but no cell service. Internet available at the lodge, just can't get the signal at the cabin and ATT is not adding new service or extension of service to our property.
Fully equipped kitchen contains everything you need including BBQ tools and highchair. Pots, pans, dishes, microwave, toaster, coffee maker all provided. A picnic table and charcoal BBQ sits on the porch. Single bedroom with queen bed, bunkbeds in LR and bathroom with shower.
The cabin sits on Lake Vera (filtered lake views from the back porch), canoes, chairs and shade provided. Charcoal BBQ and picnic area on waterfront. No license needed for fishing. Life jackets are provided and required for all boaters. Lake is seasonal and is drained from November (depending on rainy season) to mid-April. Lake levels begin to drop in August and can be quite low in dry summers.
Lodge located on property may be rented to others at the same time so waterfront may be shared. Inquire at time of rental if this is a concern for you. There is an ALL-LAKE quiet from 9:30 pm to 7:00 am. Only activities that do not create a noise disturbance are allowed. For larger groups, see our lodge listing @ VRBO listing #33190.
Nevada City: The Spring and Fall in Nevada City are not to be missed, this small Gold Mining town is a definite destination for a week (or weekend) of fun. There are several wineries in the area as well as many fine restaurants, and antique stores. Both Empire Gold Mine and Malakoff Diggings are open for tours. Grocery stores, hospital and other services less than 5 miles away.
SUMMER USE: April, May and June are my favorite months at Watanda, the days are warm and evenings are long. There are numerous lakes in the area and Yuba River is 3 miles away. The fairground is close by and has a variety of antique and quilt shows, horse events and home shows.
WINTER USE: Nevada City and Grass Valley both have weekly Christmas Fairs in December offering many local artisans. Great location for Tahoe skiers who do not want to pay resort prices. Cross country skiing 45 minutes away on Hwy 20, snow play less than 20 minutes up Hwy 20. Cabin at 2500 ft elevation and is located off main road which is plowed but has long driveway that is not plowed. There is parking at the road entrance if snow is a problem, but rarely is. Saucer sleds available.
PETS: Well behaved owners with good citizen dogs (2 dog limit) are welcome. No cats. Please bring their own food dishes and towels.
*Pets cannot be left unattended unless crated. Please help us to remain pet friendly by keeping pets off furniture and using door gates as needed.
*Dogs must be in your direct control at all times and are not allowed to roam freely on the property. Must be leashed if other guests are present.
*Any dog disturbing the enjoyment of other guests with aggressive behavior or excessive barking will need to be boarded.
*Dogs must have current rabies vaccination.
*It is recommended that dogs be treated 3 days before arrival with a topical flea and tick medication. Pet fee $15/ pet.
