A day on the ridge

The glass dome above a sea of morning fog
Sunrise

Above the clouds

On cool mornings, fog fills the canyon and the dome sits above it. Coffee on the deck, still in bed or on the swing.

Midday

Down the hill

From the ridge, the lake is all view. For swimming, boating and fishing, its public recreation areas are a short drive away, and Murphys wine tasting is about twenty minutes.

Golden hour

Dinner at The Perch

A covered kitchen deck on the edge of the ridge, with a cooktop, grill and a bar for two facing the lake.

After dark

Stars through the ceiling

Fire table, a soaking tub set into the rocks, then bed under the open sky, with glass on every side.

The dome

A geodesic room of triangulated glass at the edge of the ridge. The glass warms with the sun and cools at night, so spend summer afternoons out exploring and come home for sunset.

We host every stay ourselves.

We're Sara Cooper and James Beyersdorf. We live about ten minutes away in Angels Camp, we take care of Glashaus ourselves, and one of us answers when you text. Ask us for a dinner reservation in Murphys, where to put in a kayak on New Melones, or where to watch the sunset if you want to leave the ridge.
