July 10, 2005 -- Michael & Chris Rogers of Shinneyboo Creek Cabin Resort are especially pleased to celebrate their first year anniversary of offering private and intimate “cabins in the woods” for your relaxed romantic Sierra Nevada mountain experience or family vacation in the mountains.
Shinneyboo Creek Cabin Resort now offers, along with their Luxury Log Cabin Bed and Breakfast, newly constructed Canvas Walled-Tent Cabins. These brand new, affordable for the whole family, spacious and gracious Tent Cabins with fresh-milled wooden floors, have plenty of beds that will sleep up to eight people and comfort amenities for a modified “pamping” experience (as in pampered camping for grown-ups too old to sleep on the rocks) in and among the cedar grove and granite boulders overlooking the Beautiful South Yuba River in the Tahoe National Forest.
Great for family groups, reunions, weddings, anniversaries, birthday celebrations or just plain old fashion fun and adventure in the High Sierra, everyone will love the close-by access to hiking, fishing, and the amazingly huge swimming hole at Jolly Rogers Cove on the stunning South Yuba River that runs through this 160 acre Cabin Resort.
Each cabin has a unique and private setting; "The Overlook" is a stunning tent cabin with a private sitting area overlooking the South Yuba River. "The Cedar" is at the base of a giant cedar snag. "The Grove" is on flat ground surrounded by a cedar and pine forest.
Each Tent Cabin also has a private campfire ring/grill and yet, even with the privacy, all the Tent Cabins are snuggled together into a quiet Cedar Grove with our 30 ft. canvas pavilion platform available for group gatherings and a large group campfire ring for sing-along and ghost stories under the starry-night skies.
This winter they plan to possibly install stoves for heat and use as their snowshoe paradise destination warming huts. Tent Cabins are only $75.00/night each and sleep up to seven or eight. If you have a big gathering planned you can invite the whole group to celebrate, with the pavilion as a center for enlivening your event. At the moment, they have three 16 x 20 cabins up and ready to go, with three more in the works.
Meanwhile, REI’s award-winning adventure guides are busy putting the finishing touches on their beautiful backpacking tent base camp site overlooking the South Yuba River. Starting this weekend they are running REI’s Tahoe Adventure Camps up to Phoenix Lake into the rugged granite above tree line High Sierra at the base of Old Man Mountain, day hikes along the Pacific Crest Trail near Castle Peak and bike trips to the Flume Trail at Lake Tahoe. These promise to be great adventure trips with all equipment, food and guide services included. Check it out for a wonderful no-fuss weekend adventure close to home on www.REI.com
Enjoy their close proximity to the Pacific Crest Trail, Grouse Ridge OHV Recreation area, Five Lakes Basin, Fordyce and Meadow Lake trails in the summer and the Donner Summit ski resort areas, Truckee, Squaw Valley, and Lake Tahoe, in the winter, as well as the culture of the Gold Country in Nevada City. Our cabins are located 15 minutes from Sugar Bowl, Boreal, Soda Springs and Royal Gorge.
Shinneyboo Creek Cabin Resort has also just this spring installed a stunning 5,000 sq. ft. Wedding Site on The Point, complete with lawn, a granite rock garden pathway lined with wild roses and irises, a choice of beautiful natural stone altars and enough room for everyone on your guest list, with spectacular panoramic views overlooking Grouse Ridge and Old Man Mountain.
Shinneyboo Creek Cabin Resort can be found on Eagle Lakes Road (exit 164) between Highway 20 exit and Cisco Grove exit just off of Interstate 80 near Yuba Gap and Emigrant Gap.
