Geronimo Cabin is a 2-bedroom (sleeps 2-5), handcrafted log cabin on a 200-acre developing eco-preserve in the heart of the Sierra Nevadas. Offering peace, quiet, and a chance to reconnect to the beauty of wild nature, Geronimo Cabin is the perfect glamping-style getaway for couples, families, and small groups seeking a rustic retreat in the forest.

PLEASE NOTE: Geronimo Cabin does not have its own bathroom or hot water. There is a guest bathroom a short walk away at the main house with a hot shower, sink, and flush toilet, as well as clean outhouses closer to the cabins.

Geronimo Cabin is equipped with a 4-burner gas stove, mini fridge, sink with cold running water,, dining table and chairs, and numerous cookware and utensils. Each bedroom has a queen-sized bed and dresser and there is a large couch in the main room which can sleep an additional guest. Outside there is a shared picnic area with charcoal BBQ, fire pit, large picnic table and chairs for gathering.

There is also a wood stove for heating with firewood and kindling provided. Directions for how to operate the wood stove are posted in the cabins, but if you would like assistance please let us know.

Please note the fee listed is for two people. For each additional guest there is a charge of $25.


PET POLICY: Your well-behaved pets are welcome for a fee of $10 per pet, per night. Please note there may be other guests with pets on the property, so any pets you bring must get along with other animals and people.

CELL RECEPTION/INTERNET ACCESS: There is little to no cell reception on the entire property. Consider your stay an opportunity to disconnect from the virtual world and unwind. However, there is wifi available outside the main house if you need (a short walk away from the cabins).

SHARED SPACES: Geronimo, Shamballa, and Trinity Cabin are in close proximity, with communal fire pits, large charcoal BBQ (bring your own charcoal), a 16-foot slab picnic table and chairs nearby. If there are guests in the other cabins, please be mindful of sharing these spaces and keeping noise to a minimum. Serenity and Radiance cabins offer more privacy.

SMOKING/FIRE SAFETY: During high fire season (summer and early fall) we must be extremely careful with fires and smoking. Smoking is allowed on the cabin decks, fire pit and picnic areas, and in your vehicle but not in the outback on trails as it is prohibited by the local forest service.

OUTDOOR FIRE PITS: If you would like to build a fire in the outdoor pit there is a firewood fee of $20 per hour. **Please check in with us at the main house before you use the outdoor pit.***

Come see us at the main house for any questions between 8am and 9PM.

    It is a beautiful place in a beautiful forest with plenty of places to hike, swim, or just hang around. The host is warm and makes you feel like family. We'll definitely go back again.

    We rented multiple cabins for a business retreat. There is no better place to detach from the office to focus on team dynamics and collaboration. The cabins are situated in a stunning forest, which adds a sense of peace and calm to the dynamics. Thanks for the hospitality!

    Adam was very communicative and helpful as we navigated an attempt to get to the cabin in the midst of the Big Storm of December 2021! He made sure we were prepared for the trip and ultimately had to let us know the conditions had left the roads unsafe. We'll try again!

    This was an absolutely beautiful property. It was very easy to check in and the energy was relaxed and peaceful. Definitely the place to go if you want an escape from your phone and regular daily life. The trails around the property are great and the cabins are immaculately built. Our only feedback is with the shower in the Main house. It was not very clean but other than that we were very pleased with our stay. Would definitely come back! Thank you!

    Loved our time at Wisdom Retreat|Geronimo Cabin! We needed a break from city, work, the electronic leash and wanted to be out in nature, hiking, near snow without a major undertaking. It was perfect. This is definitely glamping, replete with running water, electric lights, pre-cut wood for the stove, a bed. And our pup was welcome. We did not appreciate we would be off the grid (i.e., no phone signal), but that made it all the better. The only wrinkle was with finding our way once the GPS could not connect. Driving instructions could be a bit more detailed. Also recommend a printed map for backup. We loved the clear and dark skies for sun and star gazing. Thoroughly enjoyed the peace and quiet. Thank you.

    My husband, brother and I rented this cottage when it became clear that it wouldn’t be safe to return to the east coast for thanksgiving. The wood burning stove, fire pit, and stunning forest were a perfect tonic for a very strange time. We would love to return here!

    Wonderful escape at the Wisdom Retreat. We spent three days at the different spots suggested by Adam along the South Yuba River. We enjoyed the beautiful log cabin architecture and the kitchen in Geronimo was perfect for our needs. The outhouse is just behind the cabin and was not a big deal for us. We enjoyed coming back after a day at the river, making dinner and doing the provided puzzles in the cabin. Our dog was welcomed and even though she is a city dog she really enjoyed the experience. We did the walk around the grounds after dinner, we recommend getting that in during your stay.

    This is a great place to get out in the woods and relax. Adam is a kind and thoughtful steward of the land and incredibly generous and welcoming. The cabins are beautifully built and make for a cozy stay. A real gem!
