All to yourself

100% of recent Hipcampers say this Hipcamp felt private.

Imagine a writing and meditation retreat, tucked away in the pines on a mountain, with the sound of a creek lulling all day and night. Change of pace? You can walk out into your deck, step into a cedarwood hotub and watch the stars, or walk by the creek, nearby trails, or soak at harbin hotsprings 20 mins away. The cabin comes with a stocked library, record player, a kitchenette, tea ceremony room, and an incredible creekside view with a zen garden. New: Hot tub is new since Oct 2024!This is the oldest neighborhood on the mountain, with Kelsey Creek flowing year round. It is quiet, next to a campground and resort, village center, and 20 mins away from the popular Harbin hotsprings, hikes, local wineries. Within a 2 min drive is a nice grocery store, coffee/book store, pizza place. There are weekly yoga and dance classes within 10 mins. Within 20 mins drive there are over a dozen local wineries (ask me for recommendations) and a few great hikes at 4000 feet. Within 30 mins is Calistoga and all the Napa wineries.

Quiet and private retreat

I love that this whole spot is private! Not just your cabin area but the entire trails and surrounds is for you to enjoy!! This was a great spot to disconnect and tune into the area with its creek and swimming spots. It was very hot while I was there so the AC was very appreciated. The bed was very comfy and I loooved the outdoor shower. I would suggest people bring some of their own pans if they want to cook as personally I prefer to cook with certain types but there’s pots and pans here for you as well as basic cooking necessities like oil, salt/pepper and seasonings. All in all I would recommend!!

A beautiful, quaint space! Priyatam's little cabin has a beautiful creek flowing and the windows bring amazing light and serenity. Drink tea, read a book, listen to a record and slow down. Pictures are realistic to space. There is a 2 burner hot plate for cooking FYI, no oven.

Write, Read, or Relax

This was my second time staying here and I’m definitely coming back for a third. Priyatam is a thoughtful host with some wonderful local recommendations. This is about 20min from Harbin Hot Springs. If you’re looking for peaceful vibes and tranquility to write, read, or simply relax THIS is your creekside spot. :)

Such A Peaceful Getaway

What a lovely peaceful getaway! The space is ideal for 1 or 2 people. The view of the creek is spectacular and the neighborhood is happily nestled away amongst the trees. The bed is comfortable, the bathroom is nice, and I found the kitchenette to be more than ample (nice big fridge). There’s an ACTUAL functioning typewriter in the space. SO fun to use. Harbin Hot springs is just 25 minutes away and I found this cabin to be a nice location to cool off on otherwise hot days. There are a few spiders and ants, but nothing to be afraid of. It’s all about being one with nature. :) I’m already planning to go back with my wife I enjoyed it so much.
