Sierra City Loves Falls Cabin - 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. 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.

The house was very comfortable and the location perfect for a Sierra Buttes getaway; we were there for the change of seasons and the first snow. House warmed up perfectly using the wood stove. We’ll be back!
Came up to the mountains for late September fishing and hiking, weather got frisky, had to spend extra time indoors...very spacious family room...had a great time in a beautiful and quiet part of California.
Loved our time here. Great room was fun for gathering and the dinner table made meals with everyone easy!
A little hot upstairs and in the bedroom but otherwise nice!
The house was great. Very clean, functional, and comfortable. My only minor complaints are the listing says 3 bedrooms but in reality it's only 2; the upstairs loft has no divider wall/door. Also, the spiral staircase is super narrow and steep; only slim and fit individuals should stay/go upstairs.
We stayed at this house for our winter vacation for few days. The location was very nice, beautiful and quiet neighborhood. The house was very spacious and had everything we needed. Perfect place for family vacation in nature :)
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 :)
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.
Very clean, plenty of space. We did not venture upstairs so can’t comment on that, but everything was as described. It was absolutely freezing when we arrived, and most of the wood pieces were large, so chopping wood in the dark was not in our plans. Perhaps the cleaner could have turned on the kitchen area heater for a bit before guests arrive. As soon as we unpacked and got a fire going, we sat down to watch the projection tv, and discovered that none of the living room outlets were working. We flipped the breaker and it didn’t fix it, so I sent a quick note to the owner letting her know, but noted that we moved the projector to a plug near the door and it was working, so it was not a big deal. I didn’t love the response:” that’s odd, first I’ve heard of it.Thanks for the heads up!” A simple “I’m so sorry” would have changed my review a bit. But that one thing wasn’t enough to leave a negative review.
Communication was forthcoming and appreciated. We slept downstairs and the bed was very comfy. The couch and chair in the main room were a bit awkward. I thought it would have better furniture for the price we paid. There’s no bathroom upstairs and navigating the narrow, spiral staircase would be a challenge in the middle of the night. After doing physical activity during the day a shower would have been nice but the shower didn’t have hot water. We’re not fond of electric stoves but I can understand they’re probably the most safe in a rental. It’s a good location and we enjoyed spending a few days in the area.
We enjoyed our stay, but there were a few little things that could be nice for your next renters. The decks could have been swept, blankets on deck couch were not folded and damp giving impression previously used/not clean. Kids shorts and undies on upper deck giving impression not swept. No mattress pad cover in downstairs room, plastic garbage on bathroom floor, no coffee filters? left lower deck door very hard to open/close (needs repair). No soap for bathroom shower? No tongs in kitchen. When preparing to leave we wanted to get the sheets washed, but there were Rags in washer so didn't want to mix rags w/ bedding. Not a lot of options in the area, but seemed overpriced.
My friend and I stayed here while we were mountain biking in the area. The cabin was clean and perfectly located in between everything. Recommend staying here to anyone!
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.
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!
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.
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.
