Lake Vera is a small lake surrounded by summer camps. Our cabins are located on 5 acres next to Camp Augusta. In the summer months (late May to mid August) you can hear 'happy camp sounds' as children enjoy swimming, zip lining and singing around the camp fire, then off to bed by 9:30, quiet hour.
We want your lodging experience to be most enjoyable. Part of that enjoyment comes from selecting the vacation property that best fits your needs. Mama Bear’s Cabin was built in 1985 and is 650 sq. ft., a good space for 2 to 4 people. The style is simple, clean and unpretentious. The kitchen is equipped with all the basics you need for cooking, but if you are a gourmet chef, this may not be the place for you. Some of the dishes are hand made pottery. Not everything matches. There is no dishwasher. Garbage needs to be disposed of carefully to avoid attracting those wild critters. Collecting compost scraps and recycling is required, and a conservative energy usage strongly encouraged. There is no central heat. There is a hearth stove, a wall furnace. and a window air conditioner. Please feel free to contact us at any time should you have questions or concerns.

Magical little cabin
As two momma bears (and best friends) ourselves, we enjoyed a quiet weekend here with our cubs. It was beautiful and we had lots of fun.

Nice cabin in the woods
Had a nice relaxing weekend at the Mama Bear cabin. Really enjoyed the privacy of the place & our time spent in the spa. Cabin is much bigger than it looks in the pictures. We would definitely book this cabin again.

Cute Cabin in the Woods
We enjoyed this relatively simple but cozy cabin in the woods. Everything was as advertised. A nice, relaxing way to get away from the world for a while. Really close to great hikes and scenery. Also, the hot tub was great!

Lovely Cabin
Nearby Nevada City is gem. Purdon Crossing a short drive away has many picturesque swimming holes. And the cabin is lovely and spacious. The summer camp next door is closed 2020 due to the pandemic so it was probably much quieter than it usually is. Hosts were friendly and communicative. I'd go back for sure!

Second Escape to Mama Bear's
This was my second trip to Mama Bear's Cabin. The property is lovely, and the cabin is cozy, comfy, and clean. My sons (5 and 14), husband, and our Boston mix came along. We enjoyed the peace and quiet and the deck. The hosts are kind and responsive.

Another lovely stay
The mama bear cabin is an oasis of peace in the Nevada county woods. René and Drue really go above and beyond to keep the place lovely, and it shows.

Cozy and peaceful cabin getaway!
We had a relaxing time here! The perfect cabin for a getaway from the busy city—but still a short distance drive from downtown. Well equipped kitchen, cozy rooms, and a nice deck area. Responsive and caring hosts. Will definitely be back again :)

Excellent Place for an Anniversary
This is our second time there and we just love it. The cabin is exactly what a cabin should be and the hot tub under the stars is amazing. You cannot go wrong renting here.
