David Roberts started Rancho Cicada in 1980, and has been hosting
guests and outdoor events since then. Whether you're planning an
outdoor wedding, family reunion, company BBQ, or if you just want
to get away for a bit of "luxury camping"
Our extensive lawn is a perfect place to play games, host a
party, or simply relax. The Cosumnes River flows through the
property and features some great swimming holes, rope swings, and
small rapids.
Spend some time at Rancho Cicada in Amador County and go
swimming, snorkeling, rafting or innertubing. For those
looking to relax a bit more, enjoy our hammocks by the river, or
large hot tub with fantastic views.
There may not be a more beautiful wedding location in all of
Amador County than Rancho Cicada Retreat. Outdoor weddings held
here are breathtaking, making for wonderful memories and
fantastic photos.
While weddings can be very expensive, we have found that by
affordably sharing our beautiful retreat with new people we
promote future events, as many of our visitors are repeat
customers. You'll be pleasantly surprised at how inexpensive your
wedding can be!
Rancho Cicada offers it all: from tents and small cabins situated
along the river to fully self contained larger cabins available
year-round, we're sure to have something that everyone can enjoy.
Whether you're staying with us for an onsite event, or just
making reservations for a nice quiet getaway from the city, our
location along the Cosumnes river is a beautiful, relaxing place
to experience nature. Rancho Cicada is only an hour from
Sacramento and two hours from the Bay Area.
Rancho Cicada is a relaxing, nature-oriented resort located on 44
acres along the Cosumnes River in Amador County, 50 miles east of
Sacramento in the historic Gold Country, nestled in the Sierra
Nevada Mountain foothills.
Our beautiful river valley radiates healing energies. The native
Mi-Wok Indians had a large fall season encampment on the site,
which is evident from all the riverside grinding rocks.
You won't find a more beautiful and natural setting to hold your
event, reunion or outdoor wedding! Hosts David and Bill invite you to come and discover
nature's magic at Rancho Cicada Retreat.
