We loved our stay over 4th of July! The creek behind the house was perfect for lounging in the sun and taking a cold dip, the house was well-appointed and comfortable, and we really enjoyed the grill and deck. The deck railing is a bit unsteady and could use some repairs - we made sure not to lean on it during our stay.
Our family recently had the pleasure of staying at Bailey’s Place during our 24th annual Labor Day gathering at the Yuba River, and it was nothing short of exceptional. While most of us camped at the Big Bend group site, this charming cabin provided a cozy and comfortable haven for those who preferred more traditional accommodations—especially our mom and others who needed a bit more comfort.The cabin is beautifully appointed, offering ample space for our group of eight. Layout is thoughtfully designed, with a spacious family room, well-equipped kitchen, and a large deck perfect for morning coffee or evening relaxation. The pet-friendly policy was a huge plus for us, as we brought along our sweet husky/shepherd mix, and he felt right at home.One of the standout features of Bailey’s Place is its proximity to the Yuba River. Just a short drive away, we enjoyed easy access to the river's natural beauty and recreational opportunities. Whether it was hiking, swimming, or simply soaking in the serene surroundings, the location was ideal for our family adventures.Our host, Phil, was so accommodating and responsive, ensuring that our stay was seamless from start to finish. The cabin was clean, well-maintained, and stocked with all the essentials, making it a true home away from home.We left Bailey’s Place with our hearts full, already planning our next visit. It was the perfect setting for creating cherished family memories, and we'd love to return!
We had a wonderful stay in the snow. This place has everything you will need. 7 of us were very comfy and there was an entire room to spare downstairs.
We spent a few days thru a blizzard at Bailey’s Places. It’s cozy and comfy and well appointed. Definitely feels more like a family house than generic vacation rental. The kingvale community is calm and quiet, easy transportation-wise.
Location was perfect for a little quick getaway. Close to skiing. Beautiful views. Perfect yard area for playing in the snow. Loved the downstairs living room. Would love to come back here again.
Exceptionally clean and thoroughly wellstocked with anything guests could need including an ample supply of towels, dishes, glasses, and all the appliances and cookware for gourmet cooking or relaxing. Unfortunately, this property is located about two blocks from Highway 80 and about one block from the road maintenance shed and the sand making facility. There was a constant roar of highway noise 24 hours a day ,so we didn’t use the deck much. The owner was very candid about this when I asked him prior to booking. There are excellent windows that block the sound when they are closed. This property is very convenient to a local grocery store and multiple ski areas and several lakes for kayaking. There lots of stairs, so prepare your knees with exercise before you go!We would rent this place again.
You'd have to be a grinch not to love Bailey's Place. Spacious, clean, really comfy beds, sparkling river right outside. Close to Sugar Bowl, easy walk to cross-country skiing and sledding right outside the house. Very kid friendly with high chair, sleds, toys. Appreciate the chess set too!
Lovely and cozy home with good proximity to Sugar Bowl. We’ll stay again! The only piece of caution is that the driveway is pretty steep, so if it’s snowy or icy you should have 4WD or chains on your tires.
This was our second time staying here and enjoyed it as much as the first time. Cozy home with all of the amenities. 10 min drive to sugar bowl which was super convenient. Just make sure you have AWD/4WD or chains to get out of the driveway if it snows.
We had a wonderful stay this property. It was easy to access and to communicate with the owner. It was very clean and well stocked with general necessities. It is in a nice neighborhood and we were able to go for walks in the area and play in the snow right on the property. There is a river right behind the property that was flowing and beautiful. Highly recommend!
The property was lovely (it is in the mountains so the ground is uneven and the river is close so keep an eye on your doggos and small humans). The house is stunning and has all the ammenities you could possibly need (they even had a cheese grater!). The neighborhood is cute and quiet. We will absolutely book again!
We live in the neighborhood and needed some extra space for friends to sleep. The house is extremely clean and cozy. I highly recommend renting this cabin.
It was great. Our only notes are that it wasn't clear at first how to turn on the water valve and the heat (the info is buried in the binder on the coffee table), but our host was very responsive. Also the vegetable peelers need to be replaced. Overall, we had a great time.
This is a fantastic place with incredibly comfortable spaces, beautiful views and great access to skiing. The Plavada neighborhood has fantastic access to Sugarbowl and Truckee, and this cabin is right near the creek that runs through here. The cabin itself has everything you need, plenty of gear in the kitchen, and lots of space for hanging out. Would gladly stay here again!

About the host
Hosted by Phil Philpot or Cheryl Philpot
Phil - owner: Resides in Walnut Creek, CA. and is a native Californian. I started coming to the sierra's as a young teen ager going on camping/fishing trips with my neighbors. Their son and I a still friends today except we are not exploring like we did a skids. I invested in Bailey's Place to enjoy time with my family and for them to have a place to go to. The eldest daughter is estill skiing and loves Soda Springs slopes.
Why they chose this property
After owning a condo in Truckee’s Tahoe Donner neighborhood, I wanted more of the Sierra’s charm. Chose Pla Vada and Bailey’s Place for location, near skiing for the family, and summit history. This area’s neighbors are friendly and often offering their help if needed.
What makes this property unique
Bailey’s Place is on a spacious lot having the seasonal Yuba river flowing along the rear of the property. The home is approximately 2000 feet with three floors. First floor has family room w/ a twin bed, TV, games, etc. Good place for the kids.
