Twenty Mile House


House Front Entry

Welcome

This former Country Inn on the Middle Fork of the Feather River is now available in its entirety to rent as a "vacation rental". Twenty Mile House is ideal for a family vacation or reunion, sleeping 10 persons or 4 couples. This historic Inn has been a haven to travelers since 1854, welcoming prospectors, pioneers and adventurers who journeyed on the storied stage coach from the east– being 20 miles from the previous stop and the limit the horses could do in one day.

This unique property appeals equally to anglers, mountain bikers, Nordic skiers, golfers, hikers and those who simply wish to relax in a perfect Sierra setting. We offer the ambiance of the historic old west and the magic provided by the proud Middle Fork of the Feather River. Designated a Wild and Scenic River by Congress in 1968, the Middle Fork is home to native rainbow and brown trout. Private access to two miles of river frontage assures good fishing right at your doorstep.

We invite you to experience a unique and memorable vacation while staying in this beautiful home and create for yourselves a relaxing and pleasurable holiday.

Warmly,

Barbara Gage

The House

A beautiful red brick structure, the house has been carefully restored with decorative fretwork and rich New England pine paneling. The original hand crafted beams add additional warmth to the cozy atmosphere created by the fireplaces and carved Victorian furnishings. The interior consists of an upstairs living room with large fireplace, fully stocked kitchen and spacious dining area, 5 large bedrooms ( 2 with fireplaces) and 4 full bathrooms including linens and towels and a laundry room. Outside you will find wicker furniture on the long front porch and Adirondack chairs on the lawn in the shade of the many trees.

The Fishing

Located on the banks of the Middle Fork of the Feather River, you'll find the Twenty Mile House an ideal place for anglers. Designated a Wild Scenic River by Congress in 1968, the Middle Fork is home to native rainbow and brown trout. Private access to two miles of river frontage assures good fishing right at your doorstep. Two additional creeks, Jackson creek and 20-Mile creek, flow into the Middle Fork along our private stretch of river. This means a variety of angling skills can be practiced within a short walk of the Inn where fishing challenges vary amid deep pools or boulder strewn canyons.

Our single-barbless hook, no bait, and catch and release policies, assure that the end of season fishing is as exciting as the early spring hatches.


Tucked into the northeast corner of the Sierra Nevadas, the surrounding area abounds with recreational opportunities. Within a 15 mile radius, you'll find golf, hiking, numerous lakes and streams, horseback riding, mountain bike trails and much more. The Portola Railroad Museum offers railroad history and the opportunity to drive a real locomotive. Two championship golf courses and two challenging nine hole courses are within eight miles. Plumas Eureka State Park offers beautiful hiking trails and fascinating mining history. At elevations of 6,500' to 8,000', the Lakes Basin Recreation Area is home to over 40 natural alpine lakes and 11,000 acres of wilderness, streams and trails including the Pacific Crest. Mountain biking is a natural in Plumas County. Many unused logging roads and jeep trails offer variety in both scenery and terrain on and off the property.

There is so much to do and see, you'll find your stay too short. But that's okay with us--we want you to come back and see us often.
