In the Sierra at 6,300 feet
Stanislaus National Forest surrounds this private alpine community, with trails and streams steps away
Oversized private garage
An oversized garage fits gear and vehicles out of the weather, a standout for a mountain cabin
Clean, cozy, and worth a return trip
Guests describe it as clean, cozy, and well-stocked, with many returning for repeat visits
Alpine summers are the best at 6300', and with our private lake in the center of the small mountain community, this tiny-cabin is your top secret get away! Find adventure on nearby mountain trails and along the most beautiful streams. Stanislaus National Forest trekking is literally steps away. "Camp Leland" is perfect for a cozy alpine getaway. Hike, fish, bag some peaks above the tree line, walk the dogs & enjoy dark starry nights. The cabin is set with everything you need, even a garage.
The space
Our cabin at Leland Meadows is ideal for 2 guests, plus 1-2 pups. It definitely hits tiny-home status in all the right ways. You'll have everything you need for comfort and relaxation. Setting our cabin apart from just about every other along Hwy 108: guests have access to an extra-large garage, so 4-season access and use is even easier. Bring all the gear you need, and park out of the weather.
The Leland Meadows community is quiet, private off the beaten path. The private lake, sandy beach and sport courts are rarely crowded - so bring your paddle board and pickleball set for fun in the sun.
Outside there's a spacious porch with bench (and boot storage underneath) and Adirondack chairs to relax on. Inside on the main floor we have an efficient kitchen ready to cook: fridge/freezer, salt & spices + olive oil & vinegar are stocked, gas oven & stove, convection microwave, cookware and place settings + glassware for 4.
We provide a complete coffee setup too: kettle, Keurig, drip coffee maker and French press, plus an assortment of pods, whole beans and some tea packets are here to enjoy.
There's a small table for dining at plus a spacious futon with throw blankets for warmth & a 43" FireTV. We use Starlink with good connectivity... just fine for streaming entertainment and staying connected.
**Note: we don't have a dishwasher, so handwashing is necessary**
Guest access
Guests will have access to the cabin and our oversized garage. The driveway is mostly level and the walkway around the garage to the front of the cabin is level too. We have plowed county roads into the community and contract for plow service all winter as well. Depending on the severity of winter storms there may be fresh snow on the ground - be prepared!
We will send you a set of house rules, which will include garage rules too... bottom line is to treat it well, no wrenching/servicing/fueling vehicles in the garage. "Leave no trace".
Other things to note
The Leland Meadows neighborhood is a private and special community with a mix of cabins, townhomes and Home Owners Association facilities. The community *does not* have trash or refuse service. Guests and owners in the community operate on a Leave No Trace principle, and we ask the same of our guests. Trash and recycling need to be taken home with you - it's not our favorite thing, but it is the thing that works best every time.
This is as close as you get to a wilderness lodge without riding in on horses or flying in via bush-plane! Stanislaus National Forest surrounds the Leland Meadows community and that is what we love about it! The air is a little thinner than normal so lazy days are just as rewarding as chasing mountain adventure.
FAQs:
Can we fish in the Leland Meadows lake? The small community lake is perfect for paddleboarding, relaxing beachside, or a refreshing swim. Fishing is discouraged though. There are truly world class fishing options nearby though, lakes, creeks, streams, rivers and reservoirs abound.

Born in the 70s
Where I went to school: UC Davis
As hosts, we create places we want to visit and enjoy ourselves:
- Cabins: 2 Dog Lodge & Camp Leland
- Off-grid: Headwaters Retreat
We enjoy all the fun and adventure that California has to offer. There is never quite enough time to do it all, but mountains, beaches, surf-sun-trails are our favorite attractions. We have 2 shepherd mutts, so our focus is often on travel that includes the puppos. We're excited to offer dog friendly cabins!
