This unique cottage boasts of 200 feet of secluded creek-frontage on Spanish Creek, and two plus acres of your own private estate. The cottage is tucked off the main road (Hwy.70) in a park-like setting of lawn and beautiful landscaping - offering visitors privacy and seclusion not found in many properties. This is a true get-away!

Just minutes from the town of Quincy, this home is off the beaten path, yet as close to civilization as you want or need to be. Quincy is the county seat for Plumas County, and has a small-town charm all its own. It offers a movie theatre, bowling alley, two grocery stores, as well as a wonderful natural healthfood store.

Quincy is a railroad town and the train runs up this beautiful river canyon on its way through the Sierra Nevada Range. In fact, many of our visitors stay just for the trains, and those who didn't know about them leave entranced. We love the trains, its like having your own giant train set in the backyard! The trestle is legendary - on the highway you will see train buffs waiting to catch a glimpse of a train crossing the Keddie Wye trestle. You can enjoy a piece of this history right from your yard. Well water contains some iron and manganese and although it is considered potable, we supply you with Sparkletts water for your drinking needs.

Spring and fall offer excellent trout fishing in front of the property; and can be a fly fisherman's paradise at times. Just minutes from the town of Quincy, the home is private, yet as close to stores and local events. Summer offers warm, sunny weather with unlimited recreation, creeks and lakes for swimming, plus the High Sierra Music Festival and a County Fair.

Check out Gansner Park on the left as you head into town; or visit the best swimming hole and rope swing in Plumas County. Its great for kids - big and small. This get-away cottage is centrally located in Plumas County. It is within a 30 minute drive of Antelope and Bucks Lake, and is only 45 minutes from Lake Almanor. All three offer water-skiing, fishing, and camping.

Quincy and the surrounding area are a perfect location for bicyclist of all levels. For beginners or family cruising, Chandler road (five minute drive from cottage) offers a flat loop around the North side of Quincy - with several swimming holes on Spanish Creek to cool off in during your ride. This flat and very scenic tour is on a true country road and is a great ride for the whole family!

For the more experienced rider, the Quincy LaPorte is a 60 mile out and back - with a major summit climb. Greenville and Taylorsville also offer some of the finest cycling in the Sierras, and are within a 15-minute drive of the cottage. Both of these rides are absolutely beautiful and free any hectic traffic.

For White water enthusiasts, the North Fork of the Feather River has scheduled Summer releases which provide for good summer water levels for kayakers and rafters alike. Spanish Creek also offers seasonal flows in the Spring,and is a great tube run to break the summer heat.

You can enjoy day trips to Truckee or Reno, which are within a 90 minute drive, or you can visit nearby Graeagle or Portola which offer golf, shopping and a train museum. If all this isn't enough, Lassen National Park is just a two-hour drive away, and features bubbling sulphur pots and is one of North America's last active volcanoes.

Whether you are seeking relaxation or recreational activity, this area has something for everyone!
Note: This cottage is adjacent to two other private homes. Please, when visiting, respect the privacy of your neighbors.

                Wow, what a great time we had at the Spanish Creek Cottage! Ceci has put out all of the thoughtful touches; there are books, games, the kitchen is fully outfitted with any cooking gear you need, there's a gas BBQ...the beds are comfy, there's tons of literature about beautiful Plumas County and the surrounding areas. The creek was beautiful, and we took a great walk/hike down the creek to see lots of amazing scenery. And really, I can't even describe how cool the train trestle was, you have to see it for yourself! Hopefully we will come back soon. Loved this place, and I would highly recommend it to anyone! Totally amazing way to spend our 10 year anniversary.

                We have visited the Spanish Creek cottage two times and have thoroughly enjoyed both visits. The owner Ceci is a great host, she always makes the extra effort to provide a great experience at a very unique, nice, and relaxing location.

                Beautiful! Pictures do not justify beauty here! The cabin is rustic and had a great feeling. Warm and welcoming. Ceci was very helpful with all our questions. Our dog was more than welcome and loved it there. So peaceful and restful. We loved it! The trains just added to the country feel. The town of Quincy is a nice little town. If you go, Butterfly Valley and Cascade hike were our favorites and close by.

                Owner response: Cindy, I am so glad that you and your family enjoyed your stay at the cottage. The Cascade Trail hike is one that I almost always take my visitors - a well-maintained trail that follows Spanish Creek upstream through the roaring cascades. Do come back and explore our unspoiled mountains, valleys rivers and lakes! Ceci

                We spent a long weekend here and really enjoyed it. Comfortable bed, well-stocked kitchen, everything worked, and was clean. The owner is really nice and determined that you have fun! There is an easy hike and swimming hole nearby and you can get to town in 10 minutes. The occasional visit from Riley the dog was great too! We would definitely stay here again.

                Owner response: Thank you, Terry and Virginia. It's important in a vacation rental that the guests feel that "this is home". So a well-equipped kitchen, comfortable beds and nice linens, a good DVD selection (in this case where there is no TV reception) is imperative! I'm glad you enjoyed the cottage and hope you will return to explore more of our beautiful Plumas County. Olivia was a darling and oh-so-tolerant of my exuberant Riley. I hope she - and you two - enjoyed the creek, it's an awesome place to play! Ceci

                What a great little cottage! The surroundings are beautiful and the location is very private. The owner's really went out of their way to provide some very special touches, including a small "Welcome" basket with local goodies. I will say that the driveway is quite difficult to find at night and you must be really looking to find it in the day time too; I would highly recommend arriving in the daylight.

                Recommended for: Romantic getaway, adventure seekers, families with teenagers.

                Owner response: Thank you Daniel and Gina! Yes, the driveway is a bit obscure, but of course, it is the perfect entrance to this hideaway in the mountains. The welcome basket is a way that I can introduce visitors to this charming area and the small locally owned businesses of which there are many. I look forward to hosting you sometime in the future at the Cottage on Spanish Creek.
