Great Sierra Stay

Spent a wonderful week hiking and sightseeing in the Sierras and Lake Tahoe area. The house was very spacious and in a wonderfully peaceful location. We enjoyed the deer, California quail and rabbits who would visit the yard each day. The views from the house were wonderful and, coming from the busy northeast US, very calming. Portola was a wonderful and quirky small town to visit for a meal or grocery shopping (somewhat expensive). Lake Davis was completely uncrowded and another close-by, peaceful destination. The hikes in the Lakes Basin area of Plumas National Forest were outstanding. Amazingly beautiful country. Also, don't miss the less-traveled Rock Lake just up the valley from the super small town of Mohawk. There is also a super interesting gold-mining museum that is free in the unique settlement of Johnsonville.

Special spot

Extremely comfortable house with amazing views. Epic sunsets with dueling views of the Sierras and the Great Basin from the front porch. Awesome stargazing at night. Excellent location for access to Lake Davis and exploring the area in general. Market and gas a few min away. Great hosts. Hope to stay again. 10/10

Portola house

We enjoyed our second stay at this wonderful home in Portola. Every window has a beautiful view. After hiking at Davis Lake or enjoying the Lakes Basin area it’s great to come back to a comfortable house and relax with the great view. Sunsets are particularly nice. Thanks for allowing the dogs. It’s definitely a place to return to!
