+WHAT CAN WE EXPECT AT CONSTELLATION CREEK?

At Constellation Creek you can return to a simpler time. Here you’ll find a dreamy place where the busy noise of everyday life fades, replaced by the soothing sounds of Mother Nature. Think pure mountain air, days spent relaxing by our babbling creek and magical nights under the starriest sky you’ve ever seen. Check in to one of our charming cabins and know you’ll find a special place to reconnect, relax and be enchanted.

+HOW’S THE WEATHER?

Constellation Creek is located in the Sierra Nevadas at an altitude of 5,194 ft. In winter that often means snow. We urge you to come prepared and always carry snow chains. In the summer expect blue skies and warm sunshiny days. Please note we do not offer refunds of any kind due to the weather. All of our gas fires work off propane, so in the result of a power outage, know you will still be toasty warm.

+IS THERE ANY WIFI?

Constellation Creek is a place to switch off and relax. There are no TVs or WiFi at the ranch and cell reception is weak. In emergencies we have a landline in the main office.

+ANYTHING TO KNOW BEFORE I ARRIVE?

-We live in a high fire risk area, NO open fires, fireworks, or Chinese lanterns allowed at any time.

-No firearms of any kind are allowed on the property at any time.

-Absolutely no candles inside or outside of the cabins.

-We live in the mountains and the good news is lots of animals do too! That means you may experience bugs and rodents. Leave you door open and these crafty critters may make a beeline for your cabin. Please let us know and we will try and remove them for you. We do not offer refunds for such situations.

-Our water is fed by the spring therefore DO NOT drink the tap water. You will need to bring drinking water with you.

+CAN I BRING MY POOCH?

We love dogs and allow one well-behaved dog per cabin. Sorry multiple dogs are not allowed. We charge a $20 per night fee. Dogs are not allowed on the furniture/beds/ linens/blankets at any time. If you think your pooch can’t be trusted to stay off the blankets PLEASE bring your own to cover the bed at all times.
