Cabin 2 - Sierra Retreat
A snug cabin for two with a cheerful retro kitchen, your own porch, and Topaz Lake about 10 minutes up the road.
Cabin 2 is our little time capsule, and we mean that as a compliment. A real standalone cabin, welcoming travelers since the early 1980s, with painted brick walls, a hand hewn timber ceiling, and a red gabled porch with a front row seat to the Antelope Valley. One cozy bedroom, one genuinely cheerful kitchen, and quiet all around.
THE CABIN
The bedroom centers on a queen bed with an iron headboard under a timber beamed ceiling, with a dresser, a TV, and big windows on two sides looking onto junipers and mountains. Heating and cooling keep things comfortable through warm valley afternoons and crisp mountain nights.
SLEEPING ARRANGEMENTS
- Queen bed

KITCHEN AND BATHROOM
Through its own door, the kitchen is the part guests tell their friends about: sunny yellow cabinets, a cooktop, a full size refrigerator, a double sink, a microwave and toaster, and a classic yellow formica table where breakfast tastes better. Bring groceries and cook properly. The bathroom keeps the vintage spirit with aqua tile and a step in shower, plus fresh towels and a hair dryer.

THE GROUNDS
The whole cabin is yours, along with the shared grounds: a big lawn under big trees, a fenced BBQ patio that all cabin guests share, and mountain views in every direction. At night the valley goes quiet and the stars come out properly.
THE NEIGHBORHOOD
Sierra Retreat sits on scenic Highway 395 in Coleville's Antelope Valley, where the West Walker River meets ranch country at the foot of the Sierra. Walker is about 5 minutes south for burgers, barbeque, gas and a general store. Topaz Lake, about 10 minutes north, is known for big rainbow and brown trout. Bridgeport and the Travertine Hot Springs are about 30 to 35 minutes south. Day trips: Mono Lake and Bodie ghost town about an hour, South Lake Tahoe about an hour and a quarter, Mammoth about an hour and a half, and Yosemite's Tioga Pass entrance roughly 90 minutes in season. Full grocery stores are in Gardnerville, about 35 minutes north.
GOOD TO KNOW
- This is a well kept vintage cabin that leans into its character. If you want sleek and new, we will be honest, this is not that.
- The full kitchen is the smart play here. Restaurants nearby are few, good, and close early, so bring groceries.
- The property sits along scenic Highway 395, set back under big cottonwoods. The road quiets down at night.
- Cell service in the valley can be spotty depending on carrier. WiFi is free.
- Nights run cool even in summer. Bring layers.
- Tioga and Sonora passes close in winter. Highway 395 itself stays open year round in almost all conditions.
HOUSE RULES
We keep the rules short so the retreat stays peaceful for everyone.
- No pets. We love them, but the retreat is pet free.
- No smoking anywhere on the property, indoors or out. This is high fire country.
- Quiet hours from 10pm to 8am. Sound carries in the valley.
- Primary guest must be 18 or older.
- Maximum 2 guests.
Sierra Retreat is managed with care by Everyday Luxury Vacation Rentals. We are looking forward to having you.
