History
The property is located a short distance from Downieville, the County Seat, at the confluence of the Downie and North Yuba River. For centuries, Sierra County area has been a special destination. From the days when some of the first Americans, the Washoe people, spent summers on the Sierra Valley Floor and the Miwoks danced in the hills of the western slope; To the mining era that established the towns. They quickly filled with miners who ventured here in the 1850s set out to enrich themselves with gold. They installed wooden boardwalks, quaint narrow streets, and buildings and bridges that follow the river's edge, all still accessible to visitors today. With the rushing clear waters of the Yuba and Downie Rivers, the expanse of the Eastern Sierra Valley, the alpine lakes filled with trout, and all crowned by the Sierra Buttes, the county is considered one of the most iconic, yet hidden, mountain destinations in the United States.
