About this house rental
Please note: This is a no smoking home & property!!
I only accept reservations for a minimum of 2 nights.
For those coming to Quincy to visit friends/family: Please note that the home is not available as a gathering spot. It is only for registered guests. I can make an exception but we need to talk about it ahead of time.
Creekside is located in the Sierra Nevadas, along Highway 70. It's 2.5 miles from East Quincy and 6 miles from downtown Quincy.
Stay here and relax to the sound & sparkle of the creek. The home is surrounded by the Plumas National Forest. It is also one of the most economical places to stay in town, for this is a town where a spartan motel room costs about $90.
WHAT CREEKSIDE HAS: A friendly creek that runs year-round and also runs right past your back deck. It has deer and foxes and turkeys and squirrels and wonderful songbirds and, yes, there’s even a chance you’ll see a California black bear but, in fact, it isn’t likely. In the 15+ years I’ve been hosting, only 2 guests have seen a bear. I want you to know it’s possible but unlikely. FYI: A California black bear’s behavioral traits are NOTHING like a grizzly bears.
WHAT CREEKSIDE DOES NOT HAVE: These are stumbling blocks for some guests, so I want to be clear:
1) It doesn’t have television reception.
2) The internet is not as fast as that of a city but videos can be watched without buffering!
So, for your entertainment there are games to play and there are movies to watch on the dvd player and there is a creek to sooth you and animals to look for. I hope that’s enough for you to choose to stay “Creekside”.

It's a very roomy space, and well-priced in comparison to local motels and other rental properties. The bed was amazing - after a day of work cleaning out a house for sale, it was so comfortable and allowed me to sleep deeply.Everything was clean and well maintained. Check in was a piece of cake, and the host was very helpful and quick to respond to needs and questions.All that said about the rental space, the highlight was the bald eagle that cruised low across the yard one morning, followed by three wild turkeys flying in by the same path the eagle took.Should I ever travel that way again, I will certainly check to stay in this location first. Highly recommend.

We really enjoyed staying in this house. A lot of family memories were lost n this house.
6 / 10Average·Jun 2023
Good for folks who welcome lots of direction for how to treat everything from fragile vinyl floors to aging tables. Also, be prepared to be flexible about power and water, which really didn't bother us. We did grow tired of continued direction around how to care for the home, and unfortunately being thought to have stained a bedside piece of furniture, which we did not. And she was disappointed that we carefully brought our bicycles inside. And btw, we're ~60 yrs old. We did wonder if the home was appropriate for vrbo purposes, despite the host's concerns about our comfort. Expect frequent communication from the host, who lives next door.
