The Quail Cabin

Open floor plan makes it easy to reconnect with family and friends. Savor all the sights and sounds of Plumas National Forest from the large deck with built-in gas fire pit and grill. Hosts live just up the street + available 24/7. This Chalet-style cabin was lovingly built by previous owners, a Carson City builder, in 2003, and cherished for years by their family. All 1,275 sq ft are built from the ground up with a sharp eye for beautiful building details, with the goal to create a relaxing and secluded place to bond with family & friends against the stunning backdrop of Beckwourth Peak, Smith Peak, and the Plumas National Forest. First bedroom and bathroom are located on the main floor - no stairs necessary! Second bedroom and bathroom upstairs provide privacy and separation.

Check out our other listing up the street in Cull Castle: (Website hidden by Airbnb) As this is a rural area with little to no other transit options, guests are strongly recommended to have their own vehicle. Please let us know in advance if there will be more than 1 vehicle; there is limited parking directly in front of the house. Hosts live just a few houses down, so you may see us around! Crocker Mountain Estates was established around the same time as Lake Davis in the late 1960's... by host Lynda's grandparents! It is by lucky timing (maybe fate?) that we've returned to this hidden gem after 60 years of no formal connection. This quaint 40-acre subdivision is set onto the side of the mountain, so every lot has a stunning view all around and is the perfect ratio of neighbors to forest. The neighborhood is technically within the Plumas National Forest and across the street from CA state game refuge, so many neighbors are wildlife. Only 1.5 miles from Lake Davis dam and less than 10 minutes to Portola/hwy 70. As this is a rural area, guests should always plan on their own transportation. Weather depending, 4x4 not strictly necessary, as all roads to the cabin are plowed and unless it's actively snowing or has in the past ~day or so, easily driveable. There are essentially no public options, including Uber/Lyft. Hosts are dedicated to keeping intoxicated drivers off the road, and are happy to arrange transportation to and from events for an additional cost. Unfortunately we are not able to make exceptions to the cancellation and refund policy. If this is of concern, we highly recommend considering travel insurance. WiFi availability is currently limited at this listing (speed and/or usage limit), but there is strong cell signal off the back of the house. Guests are welcome to use the high speed, unlimited 250mb WiFi connection outside of Cull Castle for backing up photos and downloading. Hosts may access the basement (thru separate exterior door) during the day. Guests are welcome to enjoy the bottom concrete patio space, though there is no direct access thru the listing. Thanks!
