About this property
Private Mountain House with Views and a Hot Tub//Golf//MTB Trails
Welcome to The Lair of The Bear!
This home is located in The Lost Sierra, an inspiring region of soaring peaks, scenic rivers and alpine lakes, where you will break free of the traffic and crowds. It is just a short drive north of Truckee-Tahoe, in Graeagle, Ca.
This large beautifully decorated single story home offers four bedrooms and three bathrooms, a large entertaining kitchen and dining room, and a one car garage with ample parking. The home contains all new furnishings throughout and new stainless steel appliances in the chef's kitchen.
The three private bedrooms are comfortably appointed with down comforters, and luxury linens. The master bedroom sleeps up to 2 people in a King bed with large ensuite bathroom that features double sinks, large walk in shower and soaking tub. This bedroom has door access to the hot tub and large wrap around deck.
The first guest bedroom sleeps up to 2 people, has a queen bed and ensuite bathroom with walk in shower.
The second guest bedroom sleeps up to 2 people with a queen bed.
There is a third guest bedroom used as a gym room with a peloton and yoga mats. It has a futon that makes into a full size bed, with sheets and blankets provided. For, additional guests there is also a self inflation air mattress.
Enjoy preparing a romantic dinner for two or feed the whole family after a day of adventuring in the forest. The kitchen is equipped with everything you'll need, including the basics such as cooking oil and seasonings as well as a Nespresso machine with a variety of pods to choose from. A small drip coffee maker and grinder are available as well.
The living room has two brand new fully reclining electric leather couches and a 75 inch LCD TV ready for your streaming options. There is high speed wifi internet access throughout the house.
Also, enjoy the large six person hot tub on the wrap around gated deck with access from the master bedroom or living room. Start your morning with a cup of coffee on the deck and enjoy the mountain views or sit out in the evening with a glass of wine and enjoy the sunset and quiet.
At the end of a quiet road, the Lair of the Bear, sits on three wooded acres that expand directly into Plumas National Forest. In addition to enjoying all the property and forest have to offer, the historic town of Graeagle with its quaint coffee bars and shops is just down the hill.
It is also a golfer's dream location, within 2.5 miles of the Dragon golf course at Nakoma and 15 minutes to Grizzly Ranch, which was recently named as one of the top 100 public courses in the US.
Also notable, is the Western Pacific Train Museum in Portola, Ca, just a five minute drive from the house.
The Lost Sierra offers activities year round. Spring, summer and fall are perfect for hiking and mountain biking, fishing and boating. Winter offers many activities as well with snow shoeing opportunities and snowmobiling and just a 45 minute drive to most of North Lake Tahoe ski resorts.
We look forward to hosting your stay. Please contact us with any questions.

Why they chose this property
My husband and I purchased this home as a couple and family retreat. We have enjoyed the area immensely. Just the drive there, through the trees, without the traffic and crowds rejuvenates you.
