Sierra City Retreat - Walking Distance to Waterfall & PCT

Relax in gorgeous great room with a wood-burning stove, hang out on two decks-- one with views of the Sierra Butte's sneaking through the trees. The Pacific Crest Trail (PCT) is a ten-minute walk from the cabin, as is the bridge over the confluence of Haypress and Yuba rivers on Wild Plum Road. Sardine/Salmon lakes and the lakes basin is just a ten-minute drive with endless hiking possibilities. The wireless internet is fast enough to stream movies on our projector or to have zoom meetings if you are working from the cabin. This would be a good writing retreat if you are looking for a 2 week to month stay which we would be open to doing at a discount. A couple of important notes: To access the upstairs you should be comfortable navigating the spiral staircase (in photos). The great room, main bedroom, kitchen and bathroom are all downstairs so it's not necessary to get upstairs if that is an issue for one or more guests. Second, as seen in the photos, the upstairs has a queen and two twin beds, but there are no doors; so there is not the same level of privacy you have with the downstairs bedroom. In the winter you should also be comfortable working a wood-burning stove (which is simple to operate). We are ok with a well behaved dog.

Perfect Peaceful Spot Among the Pines
What a neat spot! It's in a nice quiet neighborhood with trails nearby and many more just down the road. The house is quite large but has everything you could want. Can't wait to come back in the summer :)

After Christmas Family Getaway
It's just as described. Our family does a winter getaway each year after Christmas, and this cabin was an excellent fit for our group of 8. Even with only one bathroom, it was never an issue. We enjoyed going on a hike and walking through the neighborhood. The spiral stairs added charm to the cabin.

Terrific, traditional cabin close to staggering beauty
Everything was exactly what we needed and hoped for - a break from work/technology and the chance to be in a small, quiet Sierra town, away from the madness that is now Tahoe. The Lakes Basin recreation area is 10-15 minutes up the road and offers endless outdoor opportunities for hiking, fishing, swimming, mountain biking, horseback riding or just sitting gazing at vistas comparable to the Alps or Dolomites. Stunning scenery. The cabin was extremely comfortable, well-equipped, and nestled amongst trees. Our host was extremely responsive and helpful.

Outstanding accommodations for a family getaway
Perfect for me and my husband and our adult children to gather for a few days. Terrific location to small town conveniences, hiking trails and recreation. Super comfy beds, large sunny living room area, full kitchen and two outdoor decks for relaxation. The narrow spiral staircase leading to the two bedroom spaces upstairs is a bit tricky to navigate (as properly noted in the description), but there are also outdoor stairs to easily access the upper level if necessary. Joe was a great host, very attentive and responsive. Double thumbs up!

Sweet Space
My dog and I had a restful time. Most of the cabin is one level which made it much easier on my old guy. The tv projection system was a pleasant surprise. We’ll be back.

Great weekend getaway!
This was a great place to stay! Lots of great hikes and outdoor stuff to do in the area. The Cabin was perfect for our family and dogs. Joe was extremely helpful and very responsive, he gave us many recommendations on what to do in the surrounding area. It's nice to find a place that is great for the kids and allows dogs! Thanks Joe, we had a great time.
