The Downieville Downhill

I was able to upgrade from the Studio cabin to the upgraded cabin# #6, thanks to the 2 ladies at front desk, they are very friendly and helpful. Cabin is clean, beds are comfortable. Bring your own soap and shampoos. I was hoping to do some bank fishing while staying there but lake access is very limited and steep. So this location is great for retreat/ camping but not for fishermen.

I have stayed here twice now, and love this place. The first stay was in much newer cabin, which was better appointed. This stay was in one of the vintage cabins. Very cute and old school in a fun way. And the location near one of the most beautiful lakes I’ve ever seen is hard to beat! However, they need to change out some of the furniture which wasn’t well designed for groups and there was some general maintenance required. Could use some more plates in the kitchen and some newer pots and pans. As always, Ryan, the manager, is great to work with. Clean, comfortable, quaint, quiet…just lovely. I know I will make this a regular vacation spot.
