PAPA BEAR'S LODGE -Best Log Cabin in Nevada City Sleeps up to 10.

The Host was exceptionally kind and made sure we felt very welcomed…. We enjoyed the spacious living, comforts of home and the hot tub.

We’ll be back! It was perfect for our group.

This is a beautiful big country cabin and the theme holds up through out. Only caution is it can be hard to find at night and there is no cell service in the area. Know exactly where you are going before you go. Also, make sure you see all fees before you book. I would stay there again if I had a larger group.

The house and property are beautiful and perfectly located. Deer and wild turkeys came right to the house. The Yuba river is at the end of the road you drive up on, you just gotta keep driving even when you hit the narrow dirt road. We went for Grass Valley but fell in love with Nevada City. Papa Bear was much bigger than we needed but we love space, and it had plenty of it. We got to sit on the backyard porch and watch the deer. You are in the deep woods, yet only about 3 miles away or so from Nevada City. It was perfect.

We are 3 sisters and our husbands who stayed at this wonderful “lodge”.The place was perfect! We are all in our 70s, so having three bedrooms and 2 1/2 baths downstairs was a big plus. The lodge is very well equipped; plenty of towels, extra blankets, and everything you could need in the kitchen. My sisters and I all needed cookie sheets for something we were cooking, and we were surprised to find three there. Most of the places we’ve stayed in have just the minimum required throughout the house, so we were pleasantly surprised. The art work throughout the house is very eclectic, and everywhere we looked, we saw something new. Nevada City is very close, and it’s a really cute town to explore. We had a delicious lunch at The Crazy Horse Saloon and Grill. All in all it was a lovely and peaceful getaway with dozens of turkeys greeting us each morning. I hope we can return here every year.

We had a great time down at the river and at the fair, the house is so peaceful, the deer came to visit us every morning and evening.

Fun times

What a wonderful retreat. We were in town for a wedding and needed a place to stay. We had 5 adults with plenty of room to spare.

Very cozy well stocked. Neat floor plan very open. Having air conditioning was great. Enjoyed our stay.

This place was perfect for a big group of friends to have a cozy winter vacation. Its just an hour to the ski slopes. Papa bear and Baby bear cabins share a driveway and are right next to eachother, and we rented both for our big group. It was awsome having the hot tubs, a big porch, fireplace, and lots and lots of room.
