Unbelievable year round living with cozy Spring, comfortable Summers, and heartwarming Fall and Wintertime ambiance surround the countryside around Camp Run-A-Muck.

Located within a short 3 minute walk to our local lake, the featured house is located on a short, quiet, up hill cul-de-sac, where we're surrounded by mature evergreen trees that even grow through our huge wraparound deck, which can be the perfect place to relax with your morning coffee, a place in the fresh air to start your day, an evening destination for a cocktail or two, or a stop over on your way to luxuriate in the 4 - 6 person hot tub on the lower deck.

After your day is finally done, retire to your private comfortably appointed luxurious bedrooms (with European Style featherbed mattresses or Tempurpedic foundations. 560 - 680 thread count sheets with down like and down alternative memory pillows that will cradle you for the ultimate in a good night's rest.

All bedrooms come with flat screen HDTV's, Blu-Ray DVD players and stereo systems.,
Comcast channels on living room TV only. All other bedroom TV's are Chromecast enabled.

To take off the evening chill, the house comes with two propane fireplaces along with a high efficiency wood stove in the main living room.

All bedrooms have ceiling fans and cozy electric baseboard heating, perfect for those of you that like to sleep with your windows open.

The master bedroom comes with one of the two gas fireplaces so you don't have haul firewood to create a 'spark'.

Our lake has a upgraded multi-million dollar boat concreted launch ramp, which will be perfect to put in your ski boat, sailboat, or fishing boat. As it's a drinking water reservoir, jet skis and sea-doos are not allowed. Calif. State Mussel inspection in force.

The San Francisco Chronicle newspaper has described our lake (which is called Scott's Flat Reservoir), as one of the Sierra Nevada's best kept secrets.

At approximately 760 acres, the lake is roughly 3 1/2 X 1 mile long with up to 7 miles of shoreline. It is actually large enough that a resident fleet of sailboats can dot the water's surface during the sailing season. Most mornings, the lake's water is like glass.....

Wildlife and solitude abound here. Bald eagles, ospreys, geese, deer and coyotes are residents here along with the occasional bear, mountain lion, bobcat and fox. Watch where you step!

A local community store is within easy walking distance (perfect for the morning or an after dinner stroll). Downtown Nevada City is approximately 10 - 12 minutes away by car.

Most days and nights (with the exception of the boating season), there can be little to no noise except the wind in the trees. It's hard to describe that to those that live in a world of 'white noise'.

Come, we invite you and your family friends, co-workers or that someone special to escape to our retreat from the real world. It truly can be a retreat to relax, refresh and recharge your body and your inner spirit.

Whether your life is full, or you're now looking for something off the beaten path, we look forward to providing you an fulfilling experience very few people may ever be able to have, where ever you hail from. Our retreat is as nice as Lake Tahoe, but closer to where you may come from, and without the noise, the traffic and the crowds.

Thank you for your interest in our little slice of heaven and we look forward to seeing you at Camp Run A Muck
