Learn more about this land: R3 is a rustic studio/cabin located in a private corner of our half acre property, walking distance to historic Nevada City, CA. From its humble beginnings as a simple camping platform, R3 is now fully enclosed with a stunning glass front wall which preserves the great view from the site. A small kitchen area and bathroom with flush toilet and shower complete a private and cozy space. There is much local history and many cultural activities to enjoy in Nevada County. Outdoor pursuits include hiking, road and mountain biking, river and lake access, skiing, and many more, all nestled in the beautiful Sierra Nevada Foothills. Nevada City, and it's sister town, Grass Valley, are Gold Rush Victorian gems, boasting a variety of shopping venues, many fine eateries, and eclectic "watering holes" featuring craft brews, local wines and tasty cocktails. Live music in many locations adds an upbeat and lively ambiance. Unwind with a day at the river or lake, take a road or mountain bike ride, or a hike on one of the many local trails.In addition to the 12x16 cabin there is a small porch, picnic table, and hammock for guests to use. A charcoal BBQ is available when there is no fire ban in effect. Parking is available for no more than 2 cars.

Peaceful and quiet place to relax after a day of MTB and exploring Nevada City and Grass Valley area. Russ and Kim were friendly and helpful yet never intrusive. We look forward to staying again in the future, thank you 🚵😎

GREAT glamping in Nevada City at R3

I loved staying with Russ and Kim in R3! The cabin shelter is super cozy and cute, but includes all the plumbing and 'comfort of home' amenities (including a shower, flush toilet, kitchenette, bed and linens) that you need to fully relax and completely enjoy your stay in a beautiful spot - and, at just a short 20 minute walk into town, it really provided the perfect getaway for me to extend my long weekend and see some local sites while visiting town for a wedding. I would 100% stay at R3 myself again when visiting Nevada City, and would strongly recommend it to anyone else - even if they're camping novices!

With pets

I felt welcomed and safe. It might be rustic but really nice sheets, blankets and towels. Also great coffee! Warm shower was a plus after a great hike with my dog.

Another wonderful stay! I might have just count how many times I e been back, and it is truly so peaceful and serene. Lots of rest and time to myself to just cook and read and be. Hope to get back before rainy season! It was so cute set up for summer outside!
