Forty-four acres of cedar, pine, and madrone.
A working studio, a regenerative farm, and the main lodge — held quietly in the Sierra Nevada foothills outside Nevada City, California.
Everything within a few minutes' walk.
The main lodge anchors the property. Madrone Studios is on-site. Glamping sits among the pines. The farm is in between. You can walk to all of it.
5,500 square feet. Long light.
The main lodge holds four bedrooms — two suites with private bath, two standard. The Living Room with a grand piano. The Solarium with glass on three sides, where most gatherings work in the morning. The kitchen the chef takes over Thursday afternoon.
The east-facing bedrooms catch sunrise. The Solarium catches everything else.
A working studio. On-site.
Madrone Studios runs on the property — Live Room, Vocal Booth, Control Room, and a deep instrument and mic locker.
Records have shipped from this room — CocoRosie, Stavroz, Sabo, saQi, Goldcap. The studio is the reason people come.
The signature lodging tier.
Glamping tents sit among the pines — queen bed, hardwood floor, heat, electric, three minutes' walk to the main lodge. Most gatherings pick glamping. The tent porch faces east, the Sierra ridge in view at sunrise.
The A-frame cabin sits a little further into the trees — quieter, more private, two-bedroom layout. Same walking distance to everything.
A short walk to Scott's Flat.
The property’s eastern edge is within walking distance of Scott’s Flat Lake — paddleboarding, swimming, and some of the best fishing in the area.
The dock at golden hour is the property's most-photographed corner. Most shoots end up there.
What the chef cooks from.
Regenerative agriculture across the property. The chef walks the rows every morning before service. Vegetables, herbs, edible flowers grown specifically for the gathering kitchen. The orchard contributes stone fruit, apples, pears in season.
Most produce on the table grows here. What doesn't grow here comes from within fifty miles. The signature Saturday dinner is the meal everyone Instagrams — and the one we plan around all weekend.
The full property, to you.
Stone House Lodge is available as a private stay — for a single artist, a label session, a band offsite, or a group taking the place for a long weekend or a full week. Studio, chef, lodging, all included.
Thursday through Sunday.
Three nights. Whole property, whole team. The same week we'd run a gathering — without the group.
Monday through Thursday.
Three nights mid-week. Lower demand, faster booking horizon. Same property, quieter pricing.
A whole seven days.
For labels running a focused album session, or bands taking the place for a deep cut. Studio, chef, everything.
Closer than you'd think.
The property sits outside Nevada City, California — Sierra Nevada foothills, walking distance to Scott's Flat Lake, an hour and change from Sacramento.
