  My friends and I had a really good time in this cabin, we had a ball playing in the snow behind the house and walking around town. The people we ran into while there were really nice to us also. The owners were really pleasant and easy to work with. The house is beautiful and really accommodating. I highly recommend it.

  We loved the Alibi House - warm, bright and comfortable - it made a wonderful place to relax and enjoy the beauty of Sierra City. Everything we needed was provided with an abundance of thoughtful touches. Lovely place! You can tell that the owners care and maintain the property. My daughters and their friends had a wonderful time. Thank you again.

  My cousins and I found this mountain home to be so beautiful, inviting and comfortable! You can tell the owners have pride of ownership because it is beautifully maintained. The setting was so peaceful and relaxing. This home was filled with everything that we needed for our stay. All we had to bring was our clothes and food! It was great that we were so close to the town's main street with restaurants, wine bar and the Yuba River. Beautiful lakes for fishing, swiwmming, boating, hiking, horseback riding were only a 15 minutes drive away. We only had to use our car if we wanted to explore outside the town itself. Can't wait to stay here again and maybe when the weather is colder so we can try out that cozy wood burning stove!

  Alibi Vacation rental is perfectly located. It is on the edge of town so that it is quiet, private and accessible to the store, restaurants and to the river. We all had a terrific time in this well stocked, clean and beautiful little home. There was plenty of room for two adults and three young teens. The owners could not have been nicer nor more helpful. We highly recommend this accomodation for a delightful experience.

  My family had a great time. We were hoping for snow, but the lack of snow allowed us to go hiking and exploring. We got some great pix at Lovers Fall. We hiked up the PCT for about two hours before turning around, lol. We did however get some great shots from certain lookout spots on the trail. The house was very clean and equipped. Loved the woodstove. No cellphone service or cable tv forced us to disconnect from our normal routine which was great. We took a drive into Truckee and it was a zoo! Too many people everywhere. We were glad to get back to Sierra City and relax. Larry the local grocer is very friendly and helpful. Jean-Anne did a great job with having the place ready for our visit, couldn't ask for more. That trip was "The Perfect Getaway" for us. Deffinately recommend this place for anyone looking to disconnect from the hustle and bustle of life and would just like to take in some natural outdoor beauty the way God created it.

  Owner response: Thank you very much, and we are so happy you enjoyed our home. The hiking is incredible. Hope you can visit again soon and hike to the look out on top of the Buttes is a must do during your next visit. We are also planning to get a couple of kayaks for our guests to explore the lakes in the area. Thank You Again Mark Reynolds/ Owner

  My family loved our stay at Alibi! The house is new, exceptionally clean, cozy and comfortable. It had everything we needed and we felt at home away from home. We loved being able to walk into town and to the general store, where we took our two kids everyday for the yummiest soft serve cones we've had in years. Right up the street is also a cemetary that dates back to the early 1800's, and we spent a couple hours there exploring the history- very cool! The Sierra Buttes were ten minutes away and the hike to the top was breathtakingly beautiful, as well as doable for our nine and seven year olds. There is so much to do in the area......hike, fish, explore neat little towns like Downieville... just to name a few things. We HIGHLY RECOMMEND the house at Alibi, and we will definitely be back!

  We enjoyed our stay, it was perfect. We have two kids and spent our time relaxing and hiking the Sierra Buttes. Don't miss the lookout-great hike to great views. We can't wait to go back and explore more of the Lakes Basin area.

  We had a wonderful stay at the Alibi. The cabin is brand spanking new and nicely appointed. We love the huge claw foot tub in the master, as well as many of other nice details found in the home. The historic town of Sierra City was charming, with some great choices for drinks and dining. We went to some beautiful alpine lakes close by for fishing. We will be back!

  We had such a wonderful time at The Alibi! It is a great cabin and the manager, Jean-Anne, is a perfect communicator and does a beautiful job of taling care of this rental. The cabin is comfortable, well appointed and idaelly located. We thoroughly enjoyed the pioneer cemetery above the property, the charming mountain town of Sierra City, the great food at The sardine Lake Lodge and Big Springs gardens. Great hiking by mountain lakes leaving from Gold Lakes Lodge and fishing and rock hopping in the North Yuba River and Salmon Creek. This area is absolutely the best and most beautiful. Stay at the Alibi. It's the perfect mountain getaway.
