About this property

English Oaks

English Oaks Vacation Rental offers a unique riverside retreat where the outdoors become part of your stay. One of its standout features is access to Spanish Creek, allowing guests to enjoy fishing, swimming, wading, or simply relaxing by the water just steps from the home. The peaceful creekside setting creates the perfect backdrop for morning coffee, afternoon picnics, or evenings listening to the soothing sounds of the flowing river.

The property is designed to make the most of its natural surroundings, with multiple patios and outdoor gathering spaces nestled beneath mature oak trees. Whether you're enjoying a meal outdoors, reading in the shade, watching local wildlife, or gathering around with family and friends, the patios provide inviting spaces to relax and connect with nature.

Despite its tranquil riverfront setting, English Oaks is just minutes from downtown Quincy, offering easy access to local restaurants, shopping, and the countless outdoor adventures of the Lost Sierra. Hiking, mountain biking, lakes, golf courses, and Plumas National Forest are all nearby, making it an ideal base for exploring the region.

English Oaks combines the comfort of a private home with the rare luxury of creekside living. Few vacation rentals in Quincy offer this blend of private river access, expansive outdoor patios, mature oak trees, and the convenience of being close to town, creating an unforgettable mountain getaway where guests can truly unwind.



NOTE: Occasionally there are neighbors across the river that share the river. They have water toys that are off limit to our guests. If you are expecting complete privacy this may not be a good fit for you. Please be respectful and share the water.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

Our family of four (two adults and two teens) had an incredible vacation at English Oaks. We had so much fun swimming, floating, catching crayfish and playing lawn games. We are inexperienced at fishing but we caught a wonderful trout right at the spot Ember told us to fish at right down from the house. We cooked it over the perfect chimney outdoor fireplace and ate it up with the crawfish. So fun! We also visited Lassen Volcanic National Park where we saw geologic wonders and swam in a blue green crystal clear alpine lake followed by a wonderful dinner at the ranch near the entrance. We found treasures thrifting in Quincy and went for ice cream. It was a fantastic vacation that both of our teens and we fully enjoyed. We can't wait to return!

We loved our Christmas stay at English Oaks! The creek was rather high so sadly we couldn’t use the outside lower patios but that’s okay. Ember was an amazing host so welcoming and great with communication!!! The beds were beyond comfy, the propane fire stove provided great heat and a comfy cozy feeling to the living room area. We enjoyed playing the games in the evening and hosting family for dinner. The two stoves made it easy to roast our Christmas ham and bake all the side dishes. The property was pet friendly and we loved meeting Embers dogs River and Skye. I enjoyed Rivers daily visits for love.

Always A Pleasure!

We just got home today and the last few years have spend one week a year with Ember & Chris’s warm and gracious hosting at their place on the Spanish River. All amenities are first-class all the way, a more than fully equipped kitchen, luxury bedding and towels, the list goes on and on. It never fails to refresh and renew us. Lots to do and see, or nothing at all, as is my personal preference. We look forward year after year to returning. That being said, see you next year!!!

I think your star rating may be incorrect? If you guys were so happy with the stay and want to come back then why the 2 stars? We even went against our policy and gave you a refund for the last night due to a family emergency back home. Very confused.

Relaxing getaway on the river

Our family enjoyed this quiet and relaxing getaway! The housezwas very clean, spacious and had all the amenities we beeded. We were pleasantly surprised to find SUP paddles and a paddle boat for our use. We all had a great time on the river. Ember let us pick fruit and herbs from the green house, and their sweet pup was a friendly greeter during the day. Next time we'll bring our pups! Thank you for a fantastic stay!

Family fun filled weekend getaway!

We had such a wonderful time staying at this property. It’s tucked away in a private area right ON the river and so close to a private swimming hole. I loved the deck and patio by the river, and really sweet spot to enjoy the peacefulness of the area. The hosts were so easy to get a hold of and pleasant to interact with. The house was stocked with everything we needed and stores in town were only a short 10 min drive away. We were there during an unfortunate heat wave but the hosts provided clear direction on how to keep the house cool and comfortable. We’re hoping to come back again soon!

Back Again…

This was our second annual trip to English Oaks and I can’t say enough about it. Although there is much to do in this interesting area, we go strictly for the R&R and it is perfect as we spent a full week getting some much needed rest. Our hosts, Ember & Chris, along with their two sweet pups, always make us feel so at home. I should mention they are super accommodating with special requests too. We will be returning year after year for this welcome change from the usual pace. Thanks so much Ember and Chris!

Amazing Place In Plumas

I would love to give this place a bad review so I don’t have to compete with other people in the future for it but, of course, I can’t do that. This house is absolutely idyllic. Right on the creek, rustic, huge well-equipped kitchen, awesome, super responsive host. This spot really has it all. Close enough to Quincy to grab supplies but far enough out that you feel really isolated. Quiet (except for the occasional train which I happen to love) and stocked with everything you could need. We plan on coming back during the fishing/summer season. Thanks Ember!!!
