Located only 20 minutes from Nevada City and just off scenic State Highway 49, The Homestead Cabin is easy to find. The historic town of North San Juan is only a 1/2 mile down the road, where you can enjoy a lunch at the local cafe or pizza place. Located only ten minutes past the South Yuba River State Park, and 7 minutes before Oregon Creek State Park, you are right in the middle of great hiking and swimming holes. Wander across School Street to explore the historic and peaceful North San Juan cemetery with many gravestones from the 1800's amid towering oaks.
GPS works well to get you here, but if you don't want the scenic windy routes don't take the side roads the GPS likes to provide. And if you are pulling a trailer definitely don't take these side routes! Instead, stay on highway 20/49 until you reach 49 North (towards Downieville) and take that. You'll probably lose cell service soon, but it will come back when you arrive at the cabin. Follow highway 49 north for 13 miles, and when you see the North San Juan population sign, School Street is the first street on the right.
