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!

Fantastic Views
We rented this house during a heat wave with daytime temps around 100 degrees. We were worried the lack of air conditioning would be a problem, but it wasn't at all. The house is well insulated with ceiling fans and a wraparound eave that shaded the exterior, making the patios cool for sitting outside in the evening and morning. The kitchen was well appointed and though we didn't cook anything we were happy to see a coffee maker with a box of filters and a large pot. What really made this property were the views! We will totally come back.

Portola Hiuse
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Portola House. It was beautiful, comfortable, quiet, and had everything we needed. The setting was perfect with lots of space. Mornings and evenings were particularly beautiful. Every direction had a beautiful view. We were there at a perfect time with everything green, wildflowers everywhere, and pleasant temperatures. It’s located close to Lake Davis for walks and easy driving distance to the Lakes Basin. The dogs were so happy too. Thanks for allowing them. I hope to go back next year!

Perfect little getaway spot.
We were in town for a bike race with our friends and our 12 month old son and this place was great for us and fairly baby friendly. Traveling w/ a Baby POV: We brought our own portable crib and high chair. But didn’t have to do much baby proofing. Lots of space for the baby to walk around and not much that could hurt him or he could break. Get away POV: It couldn’t get much better. Lots of space, great wrap around patio, grill, quiet, nicely designed home, we’ll stocked kitchen, the bathtubs are fantastic (great for baby’s and Greta go soaking). We also loved the little entry way because we could store our bike safely without bringing them in the house. Travis was great to communicate with and everything was set up and ready to go when we arrived. We’ll be back!
