Lure Resort - Downieville, California

Quiet little spot on the river just outside of town. The managers were super friendly and accommodating. We showed up 4 hours before check in time and they said the room was already set! Super clean bathrooms with hot water and great water pressure, quaint decorations, good friendly vibes. Next time I stay in Downieville I will be staying here again.

We spent 2 nights here last weekend and couldn't have had a better time. The cabin was immaculate and really tastefully decorated. Comfortable beds, nice furniture, well-stocked kitchen, everything is practically brand new. It was nice to fully unplug for a couple of days. Our kids played in the river, my husband fished, and I just sat on the porch overlooking the river and soaked in the beauty of my surroundings. Such a special spot. We'll definitely be back.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Lure. The camping cabins were simple but comfortable. We had everything we needed. Bathrooms are cleaned regularly and the river access is fantastic. Rock hopping, river bank exploration, and swimming holes…we’ll definitely be back. Also a great home base for day trips to the Gold Lakes.

We had an amazing stay at the Lure Resort. It truly is a hidden gem! Our cabin was in a perfect condition when we checked in and the amenities were more than what we expected. It was lovely hearing the water in the river with the cabin being steps away from it. We also enjoyed watching the stars at night! We will definitely be coming back to visit again.

We absolutely loved our stay! Being unplugged was fabulous and we even had no power. PG&E protecting us from the wildfires (thank you!). Even with no power, it was fantastic. They provided us with a couple lanterns; they still had hot water and the ability to cook on a gas stove as well as gas fireplace. We stayed cozy. The amenities were spot on. They provide a fully stocked kitchen, warm bedding and a beautiful setting along the North Yuba River. My dad and boyfriend fished the entire time we were there! My mom and I did a puzzle by lantern light. However you choose to spend your time at The Lure, you will not be disappointed. We will 100% return!

We had a wonderful couple nights in Cabin #9. The resort was at capacity but you would never know it, the staff were friendly and the only thing you hear at night is the river.

The cabin was luxurious and clean. Although it’s rarely needed, we were there during a heat wave and an AC would have been a welcome addition. But there were fans and a cool breeze.

Highly recommended!

I stayed in Cabin 2 recently - after a 10 year hiatus from the Lure. The new owners have done wonders with the cabins. Comfortable bedding, new appliances and cute details. Loved grilling on the porch and watching the river go by. We got to hike around the trails on the property, and loved hanging out by the campfire in the yard at night hearing stories from other guests and the friendly hosts.
I can't wait to get back up there again this summer.

Our stay and trip to the Lure were great! Be prepared for a relaxing disconnection from everything at the Lure. I would give it a 5/5 if the price was a bit lower and if you didn't have to do half the cleaning for the staff. For the cost of the cabins it is entirely worth it up until you realize before checking out you have to basically clean and tear down all the beds and linens.

If you stay here be prepared to spend an hour or so cleaning the cabin (we kept it really neat during the stay as well). We had to wash the dishes (understandable) and also put them away after drying (which we get but for over $350/night for the lack of a good amount of standard amenities seems like a bit of a stretch) as well as some other chores.

All that said it's beautiful and we'd gladly stay again, but would be better prepared for some of the cleaning that needs to be done before check out. Checkout is at 11, but really 9:30 to 10 if you take into account what's asked.
