Located one mile from the little town of Downieville off Highway 49, and only about an hour’s drive from Grass Valley, Truckee, and Auburn, The Lure Resort has been welcoming guests for generations. This expansive getaway is tucked away in the mountains and offers up a true getaway in nature. All you need to do is choose your accommodations, set your reservations, and whisk yourself or your family away to The Lure Resort in Northern California. You'll quickly discover why it's one of the best resorts in California.

The current 70-acre property is a recent expansion encompassing the original Lure property and a ranch property situated above it.

This combination offers guests even more space to explore, commune with nature, and enjoy all that this outdoor paradise has to offer. Guests here—many who’ve been coming here with their families and friends for decades—can choose from eight camping cabins and eight full amenity cabins, depending on their particular vacation needs and desires.

For a more rustic experience, opt for the Camping Cabins, set just a short distance from the banks of the North Yuba River that runs through the property.

Suitable for up to four people, these are no-frills, bare-bones cabins sans heat or electricity, so you have to bring your own conveniences to make your stay as comfortable as possible.

Each cabin has a twin bunk and a full bed.

The shared facilities encompass a two-bathroom bathhouse, shower, and sizeable kitchen sink.

For those preferring a few more “creature comforts,” choose the housekeeping cabins.

Situated along the banks of the North Yuba River they offer full amenities: lighting, new beds, full bathrooms, and comfortable furniture throughout.

In the kitchen, you’ll find all the necessary appliances and all manner of cook and tableware.

The views through the floor-to-ceiling windows are magnificent, bringing the rugged outdoors in, regardless of the weather.

The lofty ceilings also offer a feeling of expansiveness as the heat provided by the gas stoves warms the room.

The cabin names here are enticing: Eureka, High Commission, Brush Creek, Monte Cristo, White Bear, Shady Flat, City of Six, and Telegraph.

When not sitting on your inviting deck enjoying the gentle rush of the river, you’ll find plenty of al fresco diversions on and around the property to suit everyone in the family.

From rock climbing to hiking, mountain biking, fishing, kayaking, and four-wheeling, all set amidst an ambiance teeming with forested hillsides, dramatic cliffs, towering peaks, and a plethora of wildlife, you can enjoy it here.

The Lure Resort welcomes pets as well for a nominal additional fee per night.

If you’re ready to get away from it all to ease the ills of the typical hectic lifestyle and enjoy a perfect Sierra Nevada cabin vacation, then The Lure Resort just may just be what the doctor ordered! You can find more information about booking a reservation on The Lure Resort website.
