About the host
Hosted by Gary Hoover

As California Natives, we are outdoor enthusiasts. We, and our large family have been coming to, and vacationing in the woods near Scotts Flat Lake, the South Yuba river, and Nevada City for years! As avid dirt bikers, mountain bike riders, 4-wheelers, skiers, boaters, Kayaker's, paddle boarders, and hikers, the beautiful area of Lost Mine Retreat is where we've found our happy place. When it came available for purchase, we had to have it! Some day, when we're able to, we plan to retire to the area.
Why they chose this property
As previously stated, some day, we will retire here. In the mean time, we're hoping to share our investment dreams with other travelers who have similar interests, passions and ideals. We're confident you will fall in love with Lost Mine Retreat as we have!
What makes this property unique
The location of the house gives one the illusion of being quite secluded, yet it's located in an active neighborhood that borders the south shore of Scotts Flat Lake. There are breathtaking views, wildlife and quiet serenity.
