What a wonderful place to unwind and listen to the wind blow through the trees and the cows mooing softly in the distance. Eveline's knowledge of the Sierra Valley and the ranch itself enhances your stay, and she seemed to always be available to answer questions and offer ideas for how to enjoy the property. The house is a great mash-up of European and rustic/vintage style and very comfortable. It's in the perfect spot to take advantage of the incredible view of the valley. Sunrises, sunsets, moon rises, moon sets -- the wraparound deck allows you to enjoy them all. I can't thank Eveline enough for making my stay so relaxing and memorable. I will definitely go back.

This place is a dream. The house itself, is an architectural gem that looks lived in by an owner with wonderful taste. It's very welcoming. It sits on 1500 acres in the woods above Sierra Valley. The view is incredible. It is on the expensive side, but it is one of those places that is so special, it's worth it. The host is just a sweet as the house. Go. I promise you will enjoy the quiet beauty of this place.

SECLUDED!!! We are arrived at night, pitch black! Got out the flash light to find the lock box, met some bats(lol). When we entered the house we where floored! The house has such charm and character, and it's enormous! So much place for a large family to spread out! There are skylights above the master bedroom bed and huge windows, the star gazing from the bed before falling to sleep was truly my favorite. This place is a hidden gem! Thanks to the hosts for everything, such a great weekend!!

Lemon Canyon Ranch was so beautiful that we didn't want to leave! The house is extremely comfortable, the kitchen is a dream to cook in, and the views from every window and the porch are spectacular. Eveline was an excellent host and very responsive with all questions. We can't wait to come back!

We had such a fun time here! The place was great and just how described and pictured. I travel for work a ton (and stay at Airbnb all over the world) and this was definitely unique for me - peaceful, remote and rural feeling. The property is huge and amazing - so much to explore and our kids had a great time - hope to stay here again soon!

I rented the Sierra ranch over Labor Day weekend with my dog, a Vizsla named Andy. It's well positioned in Tahoe National Forrest with many hiking and swimming options within a 20 minute drive. The house itself is a very well appointed, off the grid two story building with four bed rooms, three bathrooms, and a giant bathing room. It's an interesting house with an attention to detail you don't often find. The ranch is over a thousand acres of fully private land. I would definitely stay here again.

The Valley House is a gorgeous getaway and Brendan and Megan were excellent hosts - very communicative and helpful in directing us to wonderful places to drive, walk and eat in the surrounding areas. We are looking forward to coming back! Can't recommend enough!

Two thumbs up!! The Valley House was a beautiful place to stay. Our hosts had thought through all the details to provide us a comfortable visit. There was a packet full of information about Sierraville and all the places to explore in Sierra Valley. The kitchen was stocked with all the appliances and tableware needed for making a meal. They even left two kinds of coffee and fresh cream waiting for us in the fridge! The mattresses were super comfortable too. Will absolutely be back :)

Great, modern new unit with sound proof windows, so very quiet. ADA accessible and easy to find. Great restaurant new by. Simple, clean, and basic amenities were all there. Great access point to back country skiing.

This place is a hidden gem, I was so lucky to have found this beautiful place. From the rustic rooms to the beautiful hot springs 10 min away. I feel privileged to have stayed in this amazing place.

Old school charm. Personality everywhere. All necessities upgraded. Kitchens, bathrooms, windows. Very comfortable revisit to Grandmas house and the good old days. local owners working hard to make the place nice and our stay great.

We stayed here so last minute and beyond appreciated the quick response we got from owners. The house has so much space for a big family like ours. The owners are very nice just invasive when we were getting ready to leave. The home does not have a television or any internet what so ever. The hot tub was so nice and clean, the house was very clean too. I would recommend bringing food with you and entertainment too. It's a very cute little town I've never heard of but we would stay again, I'm sure it's so fun in winter with snow. I recommend this home and the owners. Thank you for allowing my family and I to stay.

Two night stay in historic house with great floor plan. Nice area, very secluded

Lauriel is great and her place is ideal for couples and groups. Love Sierraville.

What a delight it was to stay in a place with such a rich history and Dan was a wonderful source of information about the history of the house. He took the time to walk us through the whole place. It was clean and homey and unique. The hot tub was really clean and perfect temp and such a treat at the end of the day and again with coffee. The area was so scenic and beautiful.

Our host, Mike, responded to all of our questions quickly. He welcomed us by phone on arrival. The listing was as described. The neighborhood was serene,quiet. We saw some rodeo action a short bike ride from the house. Sierraville itself is dinky, but this was a great home base for exploring Truckee, Sierra City, Downieville and a number of nearby lakes, hiking trails.

This is a lovely house on a terrific street on the south side of Sierra Valley – a great location with beautiful views of the valley floor and surrounding mountains. We did not meet the owner, Mike, but he was great to talk to on the phone and very helpful. The house was all set to go when we arrived and had everything we needed (and more). We really enjoyed our stay there and would return if back in the area again. Thank you Mike!!

Mike's home was warm and welcoming. It was just like staying at an old friend's house. The home was gorgeous inside and out. Every room was well appointed with everything we needed to make our family comfortable on our vacation on a vacation, which meant we didn't need to pack beyond the basics. My kids enjoyed the yard, sitting by the fire pit and wading in the creek at the edge of the property. Truly magnificent setting….When in Sierraville, we will be back!

Mike's place is the perfect place for a family vacation. It's a truly magnificent farmhouse, lovingly restored. The kitchen is well appointed. The master bed is luxurious. There is a fun side room with twin beds for the kids. Everything is very clean and well appointed. And the house is just a few minutes drive to Sierra Hotsprings.

The property is great, but Mike was a bad host and I want to warn potential guests of that. He is serious about check-out times and will try to entrap guests into paying more. Just be careful. Here's what happened to us: on the day of our check-out, Mike came by around 1030 and hung around outside by his car, I went out, exchanged some pleasantries, and passed on a phone message he had gotten from his girlfriend. He was perfectly respectful. At 1102 (I checked my watch), he barged in and complained that we had not left on time (1100) and that he was charging us an extra day even when we offered to leave immediately. Now, I had thought that check-out time was at 1130 (there's no internet or cell service up there to check, and Mike "failed to mention it" in any of his many notes left at the house on check-in. I noted this to him, and he didn't care. We were gone at 1120, but Mike still attempted to charge us for an extra night (AirBnB told him no, as we offered to leave). Just take care. In Mike's (maybe) defense, he may have been angry that I came with more people than I had reserved. I am not a frequent AirBnB user, and I didn't realize that affected cost - I just read the property description to make sure it was big enough and clicked "reserve". He complained about this and I paid the difference. It still doesn't excuse the attempt to charge me for an extra day without even attempting to warn me about the check-out time.

The house couldnt have been more charming-we felt like we were in a "Pottery Barn" ad, only it was real! The house was fully equipped with everything we needed to cook, sleep, and enjoy ourselves. There was even firewood supplied for the woodstove! The house location was nearby Sierraville and 30 minutes from Truckee. We enjoyed the Fall weather and the pastoral views. Couldnt have asked for more!

Dog Valley is a beautiful, secluded place. The campsite sits in a forest just above the valley floor, with short walks to great views and endless back roads and trails for exploration. There are no services out there, so bring your camping gear, water, and supplies for wilderness living. David is a good communicator and will answer any questions quickly.

This was a nice quiet place to stay. The description of the area and accommodations was accurate. We enjoyed visiting a little with Scott and enjoyed morning coffee and a walk along the river.

Scott was incredibly friendly and a fantastic host! The airstream is in phenomenal condition and he keeps it very clean. He even gave us a tour of the airstream immediately upon arriving and showed us all of its features. Absolutely the best airstream experience for the price that I could have imagined. The property is gorgeous and you can walk down by the river and enjoy the landscape. We loved staying there and can't wait to go back!

We were a later evening check-in. Scott greeted us about sundown, quickly showed us around, and made us feel very comfortable. The trailer was clean, well-equipped, and homey. We'd stay here again anytime, and recommend it to anyone looking for a great experience.

My wife and I were looking for a place to stay for an event in Graeagle and ran across Scott's ad for his Airstream trailer. While out of the ordinary, the accommodations were great. The trailer itself is extremely well built and is in amazing condition for it's age. It was clean, comfortable, and has obviously been well cared for. It was fine for the two of us, but would be a bit cozy with additional guests. Scott was friendly and accommodating, and made sure we had everything we needed for our stay. The location is quiet and peaceful, and the river is just a short stroll away. Definitely recommended for anyone looking for something out of the ordinary.

Scott was very welcoming both before we arrived and as we arrived. He showed us all the Airstream amenities and how to use them. We had a good stay here, but being interested in mountain biking the other side of Graeagle, it was a bit of a trek each day. Also, there are no places to eat in Portola (Scott confirmed that as we arrived), so we weren't really prepared for that. The accommodation was very comfortable, except for the sit down shower. The location of the Airstream left me feeling a little claustrophobic.

Scott is a very accommodating host. The airstream is clean and well kept. I do feel it is way overpriced (we could have stayed in a local motel with all the "hotel perks" for less), that being said my husband and I did enjoy our stay. the beds are very comfortable. Only enough hot water for 1 person to shower.

We found this trailer to be a cool and quirky place to stay. It was comfortable for two but would probably but a bit tight for more than that. It had access to a beautiful river full of jumping fish, and a walking path right into Portola, a cute and sleepy town.

Scott provided good directions and information about the property and was quick to respond to communications. Beautiful location backing up to national forest land and close to the easily accessible river. Also it is centrally located for exploring this section of the sierra.

Beautiful home in a quiet golf course neighborhood! Amazing Amenities! Great communication !

Nicholas was an excellent host - friendly and helpful and also gave us privacy. The cabin is great - comfortable and well equipped. Our kids (8 and 11 years old) enjoyed playing inside and outside. We had fun day trips to the Portola train museum and hiking in the Gold Lakes area. Back at the cabin we BBQed on the gas grill, enjoyed the beautiful kitchen and roomy dining/living area. The beds were super comfortable. A perfect vacation spot!

This house is absolutely amazing! My partner and I went for a romantic getaway, and it was more than we could have dreamed of. The house is very spacious -- 3bd/2ba and a spacious kitchen and dining area. Next time we'll bring friends! Portola is a super cozy town, with gorgeous views. We spent one full day driving through the mountains, taking all the beauty of the Sierras in. My boyfriend and I are not skiers, but the town is not too far away from Truckee, Donner Ski Area, Tahoe, etc. I definitely recommend Nicholas' house for a nice couples or family getaway. I will for sure stay again!

We stayed at Nicholas’ house for 10 days during the Christmas break and absolutely loved it. The house is more spacious than the pictures show and it is very well equipped. There is everything you need in the kitchen. The house is located in a quiet neighborhood and really close to Lake Davis or Johnsville where there are great opportunities for snowplay, snowboarding or ice skating on frozen lakes . The local grocery store is stocked with everything you need for a getaway and if you don’t feel like cooking you can choose from a handful of restaurants in Portola. Our three kids enjoyed the huge collection of Disney movies on VHS. There are also lots of board games for long family nights and a table soccer. Nickolas was great host. Thanks again for sharing this amazing vacation home!

Great place to stay for a skiing trip if you want to be away from crowds! Nicholas was a great host.

Absolutely fantastic place. The pics don't do it justice. We enjoyed our stay so much that we're already planning our next stay. Awesome place to stay and an amazing and helpful host! I could stay there forever!

A nice quiet place, good for a great family experience. House is great value for money. Kitchen was well stacked, we were happy to find Diet Coke and traded it with wine and cider:) Found email communication to be dry and functional. Bring your own sheets if you have issues with synthetic sheets.

Nice place to stay! Comfortable, clean and spacious. Would definitely stay again for vacation.

This is an out of the way place to enjoy some snow. The bedrooms were ample and it was nice to have TV and DVD player in multiple rooms. No internet and the hot water was temperamental but overall everything else worked well. Plenty of towels and a washer and dryer which helped with wet clothes. It's a good floorplan for multiple people and was close enough to play in some sno parks and hot springs in about 45 minutes.

Clifford and Melissa were very welcoming and friendly. They did their best to communicate despite the poor cell reception. There were more than enough clean towels and kitchenware for us to use. Overall it was homey and just what we were looking for other than the fact that there was no wifi/internet

A cozy and private house/cabin that so comfortably slept four of us and could have easily slept six or even eight (pull out couch). Loved the wood stove, such a pleasure to keep and brings a grounded energy to the cabin. Appreciated the ample wood and ready-to-light fire upon arriving. Bring CDs! And. DVDs for that matter. Or watch Whale Rider and cry like you mean it. Kitchen is quite equipped and easy to hangout in and around. We spent much of our time cooking. Property and surrounding land is beautiful. Very sledable. Take a little walk and see some stars! Thanks Melissa and Cliff!

The home was very clean and comfortable. Was stocked with linens, dishes and movies and board games for entertainment.

Very well appointed interior, very well stocked. Nice and comfortable.

we had a great vacation at Melissa & Clifford’s place. It was very clean and comfortable, and it had all the linen, towels and kitchen supplies we needed. The fireplace is also great. Highly recommended!
