Other Details to Note

🏡 Our Story & Local Connections This is more than just a vacation rental—it’s our family home. Built by my parents (with a little help) in the late 1980s, renting it out seasonally allows us to keep this special place in the family. Our roots in the Lost Sierra date back to the 1800s, and we have deep connections within the community. We love sharing the best of Portola, Graeagle, and beyond—from amazing local food, breweries, parks, and hiking trails to in-home services like yoga, bartending, and catering. To make planning easy, we've put all our favorite local recommendations into a digital guidebook—yours as soon as you book your stay. Reserve now and start planning your perfect getaway! Winter Travel & Snow Removal Notice❄️ This is a mountain property — snow and weather are part of the experience! When booking during winter months (November-April) guests must arrive in a winter-capable vehicle with snow tires and/or chains when conditions require. No refunds will be given for weather, snow depth, or road conditions, and our standard cancellation policy applies. A Snow Management Deposit is collected to ensure access during snow events: $300 for stays of 5 nights or less +$150 for every 3 nights after that Snow removal planning begins when snowfall exceeds 4 inches, or by request, and the host will make every reasonable effort for quick removal. Plowing is for roads/driveway only — extra shoveling is available for a fee and may be delayed. Any unused portion of the deposit is fully refunded.

We had an excellent stay at The Lost Sierra Lodge! Utilized full use of the kitchen, porch, hot tub, and pool table among other amenities and felt beyond pleased with the quality of everything provided. We could tell there was extensive attention to detail put into the setup and ease of access/understanding of amenities provided, communication of check-in/check-out process, and help from hosts if needed. Thanks Trav and Britt! We’d highly recommend The Lost Sierra Lodge to any group looking for a lovely place to stay in this area.
