7 Days - 6 nights! EXPLORE LOST SIERRA @ FOREST & FARM on biodynamic farmstead

Check-ins on MONDAYS | Check-outs on SUNDAYS

Jamison House is situated on 5 privately owned acres, bordering Plumas National Forest lands and adjacent to the Wild & Scenic Middle Fork of the Feather River. Especially suited for outdoor enthusiasts and animal lovers seeking more of a nature-based rejuvenation experience. Guests are invited to harvest from the greenhouse, pet a goat, collect their own chicken eggs, and drop into the flow of gentle paced living at this biodynamic farmstead.

"Find your True North in The Lost Sierra."

Walking distance from Jamison House is a well-worn path into the Plumas National Forest. Upon request (and if available) Host Leslie will cheerfully guide guests to some of her favorite locations - dubbed namesakes like Juniper Portal, Stargazing Plateau, and the Leaning Tower of Treesa - all of which are sure to become treasured spots for visitors as well. A 10 minute walk lands vacationers at the stunning Feather River, an awesome place for waterway exploration. At Jamison House ~ wildlife abounds, hidden swimming holes await, and wide open spaces simply beg guests to BREATHE IN the High Sierra mountain air.
Enjoy hiking, fishing, mountain biking, and a multitude of winter activities (snowshoeing/snowmobiling/sledding) at Jamison House. Guests are encouraged to check out Plumas County/Lost Sierra websites to get an idea of the many local offerings - in addition to experiencing the great outdoors, folks will soon find there are a wide variety of special events catering to all sorts of hobbies and interests. See Lost Sierra Chamber of Commerce for current calendar.
Jamison House specializes in nature-immersion, sustainable living practices, and farm-to-fork offerings...there simply is no place like it in the surrounding area. Amenities are spa-like ~ the home is equipped with Himalayan salt lamps - air diffusers with essential oils - a noise simulator that plays "thunderstorm," "stream," and the like - a Bose Sound System throughout - and yet all towels and linens are line-dried when nature allows. The Jamison home is truly a cut-above the rest in the vacation rental category, and is on its way to becoming a niche-type private sanctuary retreat. For this reason, guests are encouraged to book early for their 3-night minimum stay getaway - a time period purposefully and specifically selected by Leslie to allow ample time for unwinding and gentle reflection. Having hosted for several years, her experience has been that folks need at least a few days to settle in and really relax, which is Leslie's goal for each visitor.

Within a 30 minute (walking or driving) radius, you can expect to find:
Plumas and Tahoe National Forests
Nationally registered Wild & Scenic Middle Fork Feather River
Golf Resorts Galore: The Dragon at Gold Mountain; Whitehawk Ranch; Graeagle Meadows; and Feather River Park Resort & Golf to name a few
Lakes Basin Recreation Area
Plumas Eureka State Park
Lake Davis Recreation Area
Beautiful Sierra Valley, home of the Upper Feather River Watershed
Graeagle - Trip Advisor voted "Top 16 Most Remarkable Towns"
Surrounding quintessential mountain towns: Quincy; Truckee; Clio; Johnsville
Portola Railroad Museum and Western Pacific Railway
*45 minute drive to Reno, Nevada and 1 hour drive to Lake Tahoe*

The recently remodeled Gold Rush inspired Jamison House is a great place for two couples or a family of four to getaway in luxury surrounded by trees and small farm animals (goats, chickens, pigs.) Leslie happily gives farm tours and invites visitors to harvest from what is available in the H.O.E. (Heaven on Earth) garden. She planted 40 apple trees in 2021 and grows strawberries and herbs prolifically - it is from these fruits and medicinals that she stocks a wide variety of value-added products in the Farm Stand located a few hundred feet from the Jamison House.

Jamison House is an animal lovers paradise and 100% dog-friendly. When guests opt to bring their favorite 4-legged friends, they will be surprised by all the luxurious canine offerings! Orthopedic dog beds, water/food bowls, extra food and gourmet treats, plus loads of toys are sure to keep dog friends wagging their tales. There is also a 10x10 outdoor kennel attached to the vacation home in the back yard in case visitors would like to explore the area, sans pups.

At Jamison House, forest and farm merge together within the property boundaries to really offer guests a unique Plumas County stay. There are greenhouses, farm animals, garden spaces, and a Farm Stand...all surrounded by pines, junipers, and fir trees. Wildflowers abound, an ephemeral stream crosses in front of the home during the months of Spring, and peace and quiet reigns in all seasons. Come explore The Lost Sierra ensconced at Forest & Farm!
