Description

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”.

Creekside is simply wonderful! It was quiet and we loved listening to the water run and the crickets in the evening. Although we didn't need anything during our stay, Barbara is just next door. I loved the old books she had on the shelf and the home has many family items throughout that were lovely. To be honest, it was the breakfast nook in the kitchen that sold me when I was looking for a place to book. We'llve already started talking about the best time to come back!

This is the home Barbara grew up in and you can tell she truly cares about the place. It is inviting and comfortable. It is well-stocked with kitchen items, extra bedding and pillows, a first aid kit, some toiletries, etc. There's even a multitude of maps and guides to aid in your exploration of the area. Yes, she lives next door as a reviewer pointed out, but she makes a point to be unobtrusive. Yet she is available if needed. The creek in the woods just yards from the back deck is the icing on the cake. Bundling up in the 40-degree weather to drink my morning coffee seated beside the gurgling water was a highlight of the stay. We will be back.

Oh what a cozy stay. We loved having our happy hour wine on the chairs by the creek. The master bed was SOOO comfy! We so wanted to see a bear but all we saw was bear poop! We definitely would come back!! Thank you Barbara!
