We just got home from a three night stay in cabin #6. The location is amazing, and the views from the back porch were beautiful. Everything was very clean and well maintained. We were thoroughly impressed with the attention to detail. There weren't any restaurants nearby (that were actually open for business), so we drove to Truckee a couple of... more

The cabins are nice , clean , and the hosts friendly and accomodating . However the cabins are quite close to I-80 and the road noise is loud and constant . The yurt , which is a short walk , is quieter , or maybe it's just that the Yuba River drowns out the highway noise . more

This is a great place! The grounds are beautiful and the small well appointed cabins were perfect for us and our baby. It was wonderful to sit out on our deck, grill our dinner and look out at the mountains and the woods. We also had fun making a fire and cooking somores in our private fire pit. It is... more

Our stay was everything they promised. Most important was that we could take the dog (a loveable laborador). Not only was the dog welcome but there was a doggie blanket so she could get up on the bed without destroying the duvet and we didn't have to feel guilty or break any rules! We stayed in a cabin as it... more

The cabin was nice (no tub though) but we got the feeling we were not so welcome. Perhaps this was because they were gearing up for the snow season, but still we felt like we were somehow intruding on the owners/caretakers. more

I agree with the other travelers who reviewed Shinneyboo. The cabins and owners are great. The setting is spectacular. Only one problem: the highway noise. I didn't expect to be able to hear the traffic from I-80. It wasn't a deal-breaker but you should be aware that this isn't a remote camping experience. more

This is the second year in a row that we've been Shinneyboo'd, and I have to admit some reluctance in posting a review since I'd love to keep this our little secret! I echo the compliments from the other reviewers -- the owners are very friendly (but not intrusive), the breakfast baskets are wonderful, and the grounds boast some of... more

My family and I stayed in cabin #7 the 3rd thru 5th of January 2007 and we had a blast. We are not really into winter sports and were just looking for a place where we could take our three year old son to play in the snow. I got to tell you I was so happy when we arrived... more

(530) 587-5160 Shinneyboo Creek Cabin If you are looking for some of the best camping around you must check out Shinneyboo Creek Cabin Resort. OK, so the name doesn't mention much about camping. Actually they do have very nice cabins nestled at the base of Donner's Pass though we didn't stay in one. Down a rough dirt road on the... more
