This refurbished and cozy Airstream sits on the gorgeous sandy beach of Yuba Lake and will allow you to relish the stunning lake views, soak in the technicolor sunsets, and admire the stars at night. It is easily accessible from Interstate-15 yet feels completely secluded.
Inside the airstream, you’ll have the conveniences of a heating and air-conditioning system so you remain comfortable no matter the season. A queen-size bed and two sleeping pads will cradle you to a good night’s sleep. Also within the location are flushing toilets and showers.

When you’re done and tired after a day of swimming and sunbathing on the beach, you can relax inside this house. Maybe you’d want to get into the private hot tub to soothe your sore muscles. Or perhaps you’d love to stream some movies on the 55-in (139.7-cm) television. If you’re hungry, you can easily whip out delicious meals in the fully furnished kitchen.
When you and your companions are ready to sleep, the nine plush beds — and two extra sofa beds — will be there for you.
