About this property

Fantastic Base Camp to the Buck's Lake Wilderness

If you are looking for a place to relax and enjoy outdoor activities this is the prime location. Located 10 miles outside Quincy in the Beautiful Bucks Lake Wilderness area, just a few miles to Bucks Lake or to Silver Lake. An excellant place to stage as a snowmobilers paradise in the winter, or a boaters retreat in the summer.

After a long day in the wilderness relax on the deck in the back or on the second story porch and enjoy the mountain air. Then go to the first floor to create a wonderful meal in the tiled kitchen, eat at either the dining room or breakfast nook, then enjoy a movie in the living room. As the day winds down go upstairs and light a fire in the family room fireplace, them retire to one of the three bedrooms. Two have queen beds and direct access to the porch. The third is the master suite with a king bed and private tiled bath. You will be amazed at how quiet the area is. Wake up refreshed and travel to the local lakes or hiking area.

If you need to store large items, an oversized garage is available for snowmobiles or your boating equipment. Washer/Dryer, microwave, TV, and games are all ready to be used.

The house is located directly off the main Buck's Lake Road and is County Plowed in the winter. Large mature trees are abundant.

Location and price are right

Location is remote, while still being accessible. Large, extremely well stocked/equipped home. Remember you are in the woods. Had a close encounter with a mountain lion there taking the dog out at 4:00 am! This is a great property for a very reasonable price. Have stayed there before and will again.

Great location for visiting Bucks Lake

We love Bucks Lake, but with no vacation rentals at the lake and not always wanting to camp, this house offers a convenient alternative. This is our 2nd stay. Positives: Host is very responsive, house is clean, check-in is a breeze, house is large and fully (overly) stocked with games, puzzles, books, kitchen utensils, etc. Negatives: Living room is poorly furnished and dark, no coffee table or side tables, or table lamps, and a really outdated and poor quality television. Deck outside has chairs but no table for dining. Stairs to 2nd floor are steep with narrow treads, and slippery. Refrigerator, freezer and kitchen cupboards have open, partially consumed food items left behind by other guests, apparently over a span of a decade or more based upon the expiration dates. (I'm certainly not going to a VRBO so that I can finish off someone else's half-eaten pint of Ben & Jerry's ice cream. Gross!) Overall a nice place, it's got everything you need.

Bucks Lake getaway

We keep coming back year after year because of the location and the fact that it is one of the few places in the area that can handle a family our size. Looking forward to coming back again!

Great getaway in the trees

This was such a peaceful and wonderful stay. Location is great, short jaunt up to bucks lake and just a little farther the other way to Quincy. We all really enjoyed being in the trees and hanging out on the back deck. The house was spacious, clean, and comfortable.

Perfect Bucks Family house

Love staying here with our 5 kids. Short drive to the lake or Quincy. Lots of room for the kids and great kitchen to cook all the meals. Love the continuous hot water so everyone can get cleaned up after a day hiking or boating. Can’t beat morning coffee on the deck looking at the trees.

Why they chose this property

This house is my vacation house, but over the years I have noticed that the house sits empty more than it is used. This is a shame for such a beautiful house, and thought that others may enjoy the benefits that the area offers.

What makes this property unique

While in the Plumas County are definitely enjoy a trip up to the Lakes, each on offers different experiences. Buck's Lake is a larger lake that is easy to take boats to. If is usually warmer in the summer and has great spot so swim. Silver lake is small and the road to it is quite dusty, but if you like to lake kayak it is fun. Also the hiking around Silver Lake is visually beautiful.
