About this property

Escape to the Lost Sierra away from the hustle and bustle of the city. If you're looking for rejuvenation or quality family time, this is the place! Cozy up around the fireplace, play some games, read a book or simply disconnect and enjoy the silence. This roomy 2,800 sq. ft home has been recently updated with our guests needs in mind. Located within 1 mile of Davis Lake where you can spend a lazy afternoon fishing, kayaking or paddle boarding. If it is golf you prefer, Grizzly Ranch Golf course is just 7 minutes away and is ranked in the top 100 greatest public courses in the nation in 2021 Golf Digest. Not to mention 4 other golf courses in close proximity! Maybe you want to explore Graeagle? It just a short 1/2 hour drive away. Or sip a craft beer at Brewing Lair in Blairsden. For those people that want to explore what Plumas County has to offer, there are many great places to see such as Frazier Falls, Lakes Basin or Sardine Lake.
Hiking, biking and wildlife viewing is plentiful in the area during spring, summer and fall. In fact near the Davis Lake dam you will notice the bald eagle nest. During the winter months at the lake, you can spend a peaceful afternoon ice fishing or snowshoeing. For the adrenaline junkies bring your snowmobiles - there are plenty of places to go nearby!

Gorgeous home away from home

This was a beautiful home. It has everything that we needed during our stay. The owners put a lot of thought and effort into their home as to what their guests would need. It felt like we stayed at a nice hotel with kitchen amenities. We were lucky and had a white Christmas this year. The UGG blankets in the beds were one of the best part about the home. It was so warm and comfortable. I had to wrap up in the blanket and lay down in front of the wood stove It was so cozy! I really don’t have anything bad to say about the house. It was perfect!

The home was absolutely beautiful, the pictures do not do them justice. Serene beautiful setting, easily accommodated our family of 8 with room to spare. Host has thought everything, the towels, UGG pillows and bedding to the fully stocked kitchen. Only downfall was we wish we would have booked home for a longer stay. Can’t wait to come back and experience this home in the winter months and snow.

Family wedding

Cozy place out in the woods. Stayed here with my 4 grown adult children and my parents . There’s 1 bedroom on the mail floor and two down stairs. It would have been nice if the other bathroom was downstairs to accommodate those two bedrooms but other than that it was nice

Very Comfortable

Was a really hot stretch of weather but having the downstairs so cool helped a lot and it cooled enough that we could use a fan in the upper bedroom. The house is well appointed, clean and plenty of room to spread out.

Perfect stay to visit the lakes

We really enjoyed our stay at Rocky Cliff! The house was very spacious and we had lots of room to rest, watch movies, read and play board games. The BBQ was perfect for our summer dinners and the kitchen was so fun to cook in: spacious with everything you need. Beautiful place too! Great experience.

Rocky Cliff

Lovely, large, comfortable space nicely equipped with everything needed for a fun getaway. There is no air conditioning but, between the living room ceiling fan and windows, the place stayed nice and cool (just make sure each window/door screen has no holes before opening it as there are LOTS of bugs outside). Both bathrooms are on the second floor so anyone sleeping downstairs must be willing (and able) to climb stsirs

Beautiful Cabin with lots of space and great atmosphere

Our party of 5 absolutely loved our stay here! It was clean, had all the amenities necessary, and even had a large collection of games to play. There were a handful of appliances including a blender, panini maker. The kitchen also had plenty of pots and pans to cook with, as well as plenty of utensils. We even made friends with one of the neighbors! Overall a great experience and a lovely location.

Christmas in a Cabin

The entire experience was amazing. Since before we even had gotten there Lisa was responsive and super helpful. The cabin was exactly like the pictures, very modern and homey. The ugg blankets had to be one of my favorite things at this property! Overall, it was great!
