Starry Hot Tub/Cold Plunge Glamping

About Starry Hot Tub/Cold Plunge Glamping
Soak in a cedar hot tub and Renu cold plunge nestled in an oak grove, then sleep in our A Frame or one of our two luxurious yurt-like tents. Venture into the clearing with open skies for truly amazing starry views at night. It's a peaceful retreat surrounded by pines and oaks, yet is still less than 15 minutes from the historic Gold Mining towns of Nevada City and Grass Valley. A composting toilet is housed in a beautiful, well maintained outhouse and a heated outdoor shower is located next to the hot tub and cold plunge. These as well as the hot tub/cold plunge area are shared between our two sites. PLEASE NOTE: While many guests have found each spot to feel private, it's important to mention that these are located in a large clearing behind our house. You'll have ample space and privacy, with the added convenience of having someone nearby if you need anything. Distance to local attractions: Nevada City (11 minutes) Grass Valley (14 minutes) Yuba River (25 minutes) Scott’s Flat Lake (10 minutes) Cascade Canal Hiking (3 minutes) Hoot’s Trail epic mountain biking (17 minutes)

Their mini cabin is a perfect mix of nature and comfort. You get the beauty of the outdoors without giving up cozy beds, electricity and mini kitchen. It’s ideal for people who wants to experience camping without the hassle. Great for relaxing and an escape for a while!
I loved Ellie + Jack’s A-frame! It had everything we needed. They even included robes which was the perfect touch for the hot tub. The hot tub and the cold plunge were also such a treat! I would definitely come back.
Such a magical place , close to grass valley and Nevada city. Lovely hosts . Bed in the tent was very comfortable. Compost toilet best ever.
The area was beautiful and the property was spacious; the tiny house had all the amenities we wanted and more! There were lounge chairs, rechargeable lights, and cozy robes. Ellie and Jack were responsive including providing local hiking recs beforehand. I'd highly recommend Ellie and Jack's site!
I enjoyed my stay at the Ponderosa! It went by so fast, ill have to book one more night next time. Jack and Ellie have a great set up. When I stayed we only had a couple neighbors down at Cedar so that part is dependent on your booking. The yurt had everything we needed including little extras that came in handy (a fan, some disinfectant wipes, etc). The hot tub felt nice, didn’t get a chance to check out the cold plunge. Jack and Ellie were always responsive and friendly throughout the whole time of the booking and trip. Highly recommend checking this spot out!
