Beautiful location with a spectacular view of the valley. House is well maintained and very clean and the furniture/beds were very comfortable. Two small suggestions would be a rag/sponge for the kitchen sink and soap/body wash for the showers. We Highly recommend this place and plan to be back for the spring bird migration.

Great house!

We stayed here for a golf tournament at Grizzly Ranch. The house was spotless and well-stocked with essentials. The golf course was less than a 10-minute drive away. We would definitely stay here again!

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!

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

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.

We enjoyed our stay. We love this house and yard and appreciate that dogs are allowed. The setting is so nice with very different views depending on where you look. If you come in June bring your mosquito repellent. Restaurants in Portola were only open mid week through the weekend except for Nichol’s for breakfast or lunch. Unless you want to drive to Graeagle be sure to come prepared to cook your own food on Monday and Tuesday.

Just as we imagined it would be and more. The views were amazing from all angles. Very clean house and a full functioning kitchen. We had a great weekend catching up on some much needed rest and relaxation. Our dog Jack loved all the grass to run in that wraps just about all the way around the house. Hosts were very accommodating and very responsive. We can't wait to stay again.
