You can hike, fish, climb mountains, bike, swim, kayak, golf, boat, dine-out, or get a manicure and massage, all within a few miles of this home. Reno, Tahoe, and Truckee are within an hour drive. Whitehawk Ranch, Graeagle, Lake Davis, Clio, Sierra City, Downieville and the beautiful Lakes Basin are each just a few short scenic miles away.

One bedroom with comfortable queen bed and private bathroom. Full kitchen for food preparation or driving distance to many great places to eat. Our home is heated by oil heat and ceiling fans.

Quaint
Stayed here for a few nights for a cross cut class. Good place to stay if you're trying to go somewhat off grid and still be somewhere comfortable. I believe laundry and wifi were advertised on the listing, but neither were available on the property. Property manager was helpful and responded quickly throughout the booking process and the stay.

Great place to stay
The house was easy to find, clean and comfortable. The entire process went smoothly with no problems. Just be aware that there is no wi-fi and that cell service is poor. I had to walk up the road to find one bar. This did not affect my stay, but it might be a problem for others.

A Cacher’s Dream! 🗺️
I can see why this place is so highly rated and feel so lucky to have had the chance to visit. On a whim I read a travel article that mentioned Sierra County being Northern CA best kept secret so I did a quick search of the area on the Geocaching app and there are hundreds of caches to be found!👏 My husband and I enjoyed checking out Donner Pass on our way up. We then explored the Graeagle area - picked up some doggy biscuits at Millie’s for our fur baby and then finished our trip at the Grizzly Grill for a phenomenal dinner. We stayed 3 nights but wish we would’ve booked a longer stay. Sean and Kim have gone above and beyond to make the home feel cozy. We appreciated all the amenities including the coffee bar; the almond amaretto pods were my favorite, my husband loved the S’mores. We plan to join the many who return frequently to visit. All Trails has several trails listed in the area that we didn’t get to explore this trip; we hope to check out Gold Lake next time : ) Thank you again, Kim and Sean, for such a lovely stay!

The home was comfortable, clean, and quiet. The walkway was very uneven and was challenging for my husband who had to use a walking stick to steady himself. Not handicap accessible. Despite listing TV there was no TV channels only able to watch DVD movies which were available

Worked out great!!
The place was great overall and worked super for our kayaking and Harley riding adventures. This is a very quiet neighborhood with no cable TV or Wi-Fi service. Phone service was not good but that was a nice break from the outside world. The library of DVDs worked out well however the remote for the DVD player did not work. Great place to relax and rejuvenate as described. I wish we would have been told the washing machine was non op so we could have packed more clothes though. Kitchen was set up great and we definitely used it. Nice to be able to prepare meals since it's a bit of a drive to any local restaurants. Bath was also set up well and plumbing worked well other that the jiggle the toilet lever required after every flush per the instructions printed on top of the toilet. The property was set up very well with all the info you would need, and the non-air conditioning was not a factor as the weather was perfect with cool downs at night. The property manager had everything very well laid out and that made things go smooth. Could have used a screen on the bedroom window though so both windows in the room could be opened at night. Parking was super convenient for truck and the motorcycle trailer we towed up. Front walkway is a bit rough and is a trip hazard for sure but myself and my teenage daughter didn't have any issues just had to pay attention where you were stepping. Would definitely stay here again. Overall, we had a fabulous vacation in the area. Thanks Kim!!

Calpine is a quit small town (very small). The rental is well-decorated. Full kitchen. Peaceful. Nice landscaping. Only things missing for this Townie are A/C (not needed at that altitude) and internet.

Calpine Rental
The house fit our needs well. The kitchen was well stocked and we made meals there. It was also fun to watch movies from the DVD supply. There were two bothersome things; first, the front door used to have another layer of glass. That glass was broken and shards stuck out from the edges of the frame. I got a minor cut, but it could have been worse. Also, one night I mistakenly left a porch light on thinking it was one of the automatic path lights. I was awakened at 10:30 at night by a banging on the door by what I assume was a neighbor. I do not know if this was a neighbor acting on her own, or under instructions from the owner; but it was very disturbing and it took me at least two hours to get back to sleep.

No AC during a heat wave so we cancelled
We didn't end up staying at this property because there was a heat wave with temps in the mountains over 100 degrees. The listing doesn't have AC, and we didn't want to deal with being hot and miserable during our vacation. We cancelled the day before, which meant that we lost everything (the host even kept the dog deposit and cleaning fee!) But that's still better than cooking during a vacation. I tried not to rate this property at all, since we didn't stay there, but VRBO seems to require a rating!
