About

Welcome to The Lost Sierra Lodge, dog friendly, loaded with group amenities (hot tub & game tables), 10 mins from Portola or Graeagle, across from Chalet View Lodge and central to wedding venues, golfing & breweries! Whether you're vacationing with family, traveling with friends, or celebrating a wedding, the lodge is set for unforgettable group getaways. Our family has called this area home since the late 1800s, and we’d love to share local tips to help you truly experience the Lost Sierra! ------------------------------------------ – Pool Hall – The perfect space for fun and relaxation, the pool hall features an 8-foot pool table, a bar, and comfortable seating. A Bluetooth soundbar sets the vibe, and French doors lead right out to the deck and firepit, creating an indoor-outdoor experience ideal for hanging out with friends and family. ------------------------------------------ – Game Room – A professional 8-person poker table (complete with chips and cards) offers hours of entertainment. The convertible top doubles as a game/puzzle table, and with plenty of options for play. Plus, the top can even turn into a secondary dining space when needed. ------------------------------------------ – Open-Concept Floor Plan – A spacious, connected kitchen, dining, and living area where your whole group can come together. Relax on the sectional sofa and enjoy the 75-inch Smart TV (with guest mode), or cozy up by the wood stove. Charging stations are conveniently located throughout (USB-A & C, outlets), and we’ve even added a guitar to the mix (we're working on restoring the piano to complete the ensemble). ------------------------------------------ – Fully Stocked Kitchen & Dining Room – The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you need to cook and serve meals for a group of up to 10, with special attention paid to even the small details. You’ll find both formal and disposable dinnerware, including 10 complete sets of plates, bowls, cups, wine glasses, tumblers, silverware, and steak knives. For those who love to cook, we’ve stocked the kitchen with high-quality essentials like a 14-piece ceramic pots and pans set, a full range of cooking utensils, cutting boards, baking trays, muffin tins, a knife block with sharpener, measuring cups, mixing bowls, and more. Small appliances include a KitchenAid mixer, blender, rice maker, popcorn machine (just bring your own kernels), crockpots, and a combination air fryer/toaster oven — perfect for group meals or cozy nights in. A pantry stocked with over 20 spices and seasonings, BBQ rub, and baking staples like flour, sugars, pancake mix, and syrup makes it easy to prepare meals without needing to run to the store. Our coffee and tea station includes both a standard pot and K-Cup machine, with complimentary ground coffee and pods (including decaf), along with an electric kettle and a selection of Earl Grey and green teas. We’ve also integrated a work desk into the cabinetry with built-in USB-A and USB-C charging, and the Wi-Fi router is located in the living room for optimal coverage. ------------------------------------------ – Expansive Wrap-Around Deck – Step outside to enjoy the expansive wrap-around deck, featuring a 7-person hot tub (please bring your own pool towels), an outdoor dining table that seats 10, a BBQ, and a gas firepit for cozy evenings. The backyard also offers two disc golf baskets, perfect for a bit of outdoor fun. . ------------------------------------------ – Furry Friends (dogs only) – We’re happy to welcome up to two dogs (including emotional support and service animals). Your pups will have their own 48” indoor kennel crate with a divider for two smaller dogs, plus a bed and food & water bowls. Outside, a 6ft by 12ft dog kennel is available for extra space. Dog poop bag dispensers are conveniently located in the entryway and at the outdoor kennel. Please be sure to include your pets in your booking details. ------------------------------------------ We Are Located ~0.2 Miles Up a Sedan Accessible Dirt Road. Please respect the neighborhood and drive slowly. ------------------------------------------ – Bedrooms – Every room is equipped with freshly replaced hospitality-grade linens, four pillows (two firm, two soft), room darkening curtains, full-length mirrors, luggage racks, and charging stations with USB-A & C ports and outlets on each nightstand. Storage is plentiful, with either closets, drawers, or dressers to stow your belongings. For added comfort, all upstairs bedrooms includes a ceiling fan for additional airflow.

Absolutely amazing place. Just as described and very centrally located for food and golf courses. The place was clean, fun, and beat my expectations. Totally worth every penny. Not to mention the communication was above and beyond. Travis even text me happy 50th birthday. If you’re looking for a place this is the spot. Thanks again for everything and making my birthday special. Be back next year as we’ve decided to make this an annual golf trip.

This home was absolutely perfect for our multi-family weekend getaway. Everyone had plenty of space and the kids had plenty to do! We appreciated all of the amentities like lots of towels, kitchenware, and games. Our favorite was the hot tub on the deck with the view of the woods. Travis & Brittany communicated easily and even sent us a digital book with tons of information before the trip. We are already discussing when we will come back to this cabin for another trip!!
