Guest access
Guests are free to park on the street - there is ample room. We recommend right in front of the stairs to make unpacking easier.

Unless instructed otherwise, do not park on the driveway/parking pad.

Other things to note
Guests must be comfortable navigating up and down outdoor deck stairs - apartment is below street level.


We recommend checking CalTrans QuickMap (online or app) for current road conditions and travel recommendations, especially in winter.

Neighborhood highlights

Crocker Mountain Estates was established around the same time as Lake Davis in the late 1960's... by host Lynda's grandparents! It is by lucky timing that we've returned to this hidden gem after 60 years of no formal connection. This quaint subdivision is set onto the side of the mountain, so every lot has a stunning view all around and is the perfect ratio of neighbors to forest. The neighborhood is technically within the Plumas National Forest and across the street from CA state game refuge, so many neighbors are wildlife. Only 1.5 miles from Lake Davis dam and less than 10 minutes to Portola/hwy 70.
