About this property

Sierra City Retreat -

Our Sierra City Retreat is ~ 1900 square feet of cozy living space. With 2 separate living areas, and room to sleep 6, there is space for everyone. Our cabin is located on a quiet street in a wooded park like setting. You are walking distance to the Pacific Crest Trail and the river, ~ 1.5 miles to town. Its central location and higher elevation make it a popular rental year round

Sierra City lies along the North Yuba River at about 4,500 feet in the shadow of the 9,000 foot Sierra Buttes. It's proximity to the Lakes Basin (45 alpine lakes within 15 miles) and Yuba Pass (7,250 feet) make it a favorite for outdoor enthusiasts wanting to get away. Fishing, hiking, swimming and mountain biking (~12 miles from infamous “Downieville Downhill”) are all very popular in the summer as well as cross country skiing, snowshoeing and snowmobiling in the winter. The nearest alpine skiing is located in Truckee ~ 46 miles from our cabin.

**PLEASE NOTE: This home has (2) security cameras installed. One that is pointed towards the front and street. The 2nd is installed on the back of the home, pointing towards the back/shed.

Great location for weekend trip

Comfortable, well-equipped home. Though larger than the two of us needed, the location was very convenient--short walk to excellent hiking trails, and short drive to Sardine Lake and beyond.

Sierra city getaway

The house is in a great location. It may be close To the highway , but we hardly heard a thing. The house is spacious and very comfortable. The kitchen is very well stocked, and has plenty of room for multiple chefs ! We are definitely considering it again next year!

Lovely Cabin in the Woods

This is a wonderful home located in a beautiful location. The house is well appointed and has a kitchen with every thing one needs to make simple to fancy meals. The river is just a short walk away and we caught a few fish. Access to the Pacific Crest Trail is just up the street and is an easy hike to Loves Falls. The mid-June weather was warm and evenings cool. Location is very quiet in the evenings with a little bit of road noise during the day. We had a fantastic stay and looking forward to return trips.

Sierra City

Comfortable home. It was clean and cozy. It was a little hot at night in the upstairs bedrooms, so more fans would have been helpful. There were ceiling fans in most of the rooms, which helped keep those rooms cool. The location was perfect for getting on the road to our hike and the concert at Kentucky Mine.

Great location

Great location, loved the big, well equipped kitchen and bathrooms. As another guest suggested, a few more floor fans would be helpful. It was pretty hot and the tiny bugs got in through the screens, so we hesitated opening windows at night. Would also recommend updating the description to indicate two of the bedrooms are connected, with no external exit from one of them. Would have been awkward if we had 2 adults staying in both rooms. Overall, loved the place and would go back!

Truly Wonderful

We stayed here for 3 nights for our Sons wedding. Erin was wonderful before we came in answering all of our questions. The house is a perfect location and easy to get to. Beds were very comfortable and has a very homey feeling. I recommend this place very highly and next time we go to Sierra City I will be asking Erin to rent their beautiful home again. We only had 1 problem the land line did not work we tried to call the house our son rent and he tried to call us so we called each other through instant messenger with wifi it worked perfect. Thank you for everything Erin hope to be back soon

Very Enjoyable Stay

Our son and three grandchildren joined us at this home over the 4th of July. With two living areas and a great patio area, it is very spacious and comfortable for families. Our grandchildren, ranging in age from 12 to 18, loved having their own area. The home is located a short walk from the Pacific Crest trailhead and is close to town, though not walking distance. The kitchen is very well-equipped, as is the rest of the home. We do recommend that guests bring all food as shopping is very limited. This home is a comfortable, relaxing home base for exploring the truly beautiful area surrounding it.

Comfy. Convenient

Everything was as expected and Erin is super-responsive. We had friends and family in the area so it worked out beautifully. Very well-stocked kitchen, though we mostly ate out at restaurants. Had fun playing with the Foosball table and even eventually beat my son at it!

The place is better than pictures

The place is better than pictures show - it's clearly an older house, however it is clean, bathrooms are not terribly outdated, everything we needed was there, and everything worked. It can fit 7~9 ppl, including up to 6~7 adults, I'd say 3 couples comfortably + up to 3 kids: you get 1br with Queen bed + 2xTwins on the first floor, shared bathroom on the first floor as well, then master br + bath on the second floor, and 2 more bedrooms on the second floor that are built so that you have to go through first one to get into second. People in those bedrooms also have to use bathroom on the first floor, or go through master br to get into the bath on the second floor. The place has 2 decks on the second level to see the sky and stars + some socializing space with grills & fireplace on the first level. Two living rooms, one on each floor. No garage, yard space is minimal. All in all, it's comfortable with nice updates, nothing fancy, but then again you should not expect to find a 5-star hotel in Sierra City - instead, nature and outdoors are spectacular. Absolutely stunning waterfall is within a walking distance from the house, and several beautiful lakes are 5~10min drive away.

White Christmas 2021

From the get-go of booking this property I had told Erin we were hoping for a white Christmas, she responded quickly letting us know that may not happen because weather is always unpredictable. As we got closer to Christmas and saw the snow we were all excited but none of us expected what we got! Power went out on Christmas night and into the next day and we actually got snowed in but even with all that happening the house was prepared! The heater still works without power the house is filled with lanterns, games and movies...everything you would need! The neighbors were so sweet they even came and checked on us! All around a very amazing experience.

Relaxing Thanksgiving

The house was a perfect Thanksgiving getaway. There was issue with the downstairs heater not turning on but the owner quickly contacted us to resolve the issue and turned out to be an easy fix! My 5yr old was upset because we had to go home so we will definitely be returning!
