Tucked away in the northwestern corner of Nevada, the small ghost town of Vya feels like it’s as far from civilization as you can get. Not much remains of the town that Vya once was except for an old post office and library. However, you can stay in a fully furnished cabin at a place simply known as Old Yella Dog Ranch! The cabin is available for rent on a nightly basis, so get ready to say goodbye to the 21st century and step back in time for a secluded weekend escape.
Hiding out in an old ghost town in northwestern Nevada, Old Yella Dog Ranch is a getaway destination for those who hate crowds and love natural scenery.

Located way out in the country where the closest gas station and grocery store is a 30-minute drive, you’ll want to be sure to come prepared to this little hideout. Be sure to bring your own food and beverages. Guests should also be aware that there is no cellphone service up here - this is truly the sticks!

If you enjoy escaping to secluded areas, this cabin is for you. The town of Vya is about two hours north of Gerlach. It’s here you’ll find some of the state’s darkest skies (great for stargazing), abundant wildlife (Sheldon Wildlife Refuge is a short drive away), and sweet peace and quiet. Dogs and horses are welcome to stay, if you’ve got ’em.

The cabin is available year-round. If you plan on visiting in winter, be sure to come equipped with four-wheel drive. A reliable vehicle is always recommended when visiting Old Yella Dog Ranch due to its remote location and the fact that you’ll be traversing many dirt roads.
