About this property
The Alta House/Sierra Woods
Quiet Home in the Sierra Nevada Foothills. Enjoy your stay in this comfortable home, in the heavily wooded, small town of Alta, CA. Just a 5 minute drive, is a beautiful community pool in Dutch Flat. Fishing is great at near by lakes such as Fuller, Rollins and Spalding. Emerald Pools are a must visit, for hiking and swimming in the river. Ski resorts are just 30 min East on hwy 80. Tahoe is 60 minutes and Truckee is 35 minutes. Historic Colfax is also 15 minutes away on I80. Relax next to a cozy fire and read a book in this quiet home. We hope you will enjoy this peaceful mountain hideaway located on the edge of the Tahoe National Forrest.
