China Alley Cabin C: Cute & Cozy Cottage w/ Deck

The beautiful cottage has been recently remodeled and boasts a fully equipped kitchen for some home cooked meals. It has a large shower with great hot and cold-water pressure. Perfect for after a long day at the lake or on the trails. If you feel like grilling, we've got you covered with a Webber charcoal grill for a nice steak, burger or even a S'more. Relax on the wraparound deck and just enjoy the tranquility this area has to offer. This cottage is perfect for 2 but can accommodate 4. Did I mention we are pet friendly? So, feel free to bring your furry, 4-legged child.

This cottage is in the historic, gold rush town of La Porte, CA. La Porte is surrounded by the beautiful Plumas National Forest in the Sierras. If you have been here before, you know how great this place is. Some of the best features include the Little Grass Valley Reservoir, OHV roads/trails, hiking trails and snowmobiles. If this is your first time, we promise it won't be your last. This is the perfect hub to experience La Porte and its surrounding areas.

Casual and cool

A great spot to get away. Close to lots of little lakes and trails but tucked away so you don’t have to be around crowds. The bar/cafe is a great place to eat and meet the friendly town residents!

Perfect cabin in a small town!

We were visiting a town where my husband and his brother would go often as kids because his family had cabins there, and still does! Our rental cabin was great—nice, clean space, lovely remodeled little kitchen and bathroom, very comfy bed, porch was great for drinking our morning coffee. Our hosts were friendly and helpful. We had a great time in LaPorte!

Quick get away

My husband and our dog came up for a quick weekend away from the valley to do some hiking and relax. If you are looking for a nightlife or dining choice, this town is not for you. If you are looking for a fun outdoor rec area with a single place for burgers and beers at the end of the day this town is for you. The cabin was small but fully furnished with updated kitchen and bath. Very clean and management on site to help with any issues. Even though the place could easily sleep 4 I would say it’s crowded for any more than a single couple.

Very nice stay.

We enjoyed our stay here in La Porte. This was a cabin we used as part of a larger stay with extended family. It had everything we needed for our weekend wedding stay.

Not very clean or comfortable

Walls were dirty. Didn’t seem like anyone cleaned the shower doors. Bed was hard and lumpy and uncomfortable. No AC so hot. I only stayed one night out of my 2 nights there. But there were not a lot of options.

Wonderful PEACEFUL 4th July!!

Sweet small cabin with everything you'd need AND pet friendly! Loved sitting on the wrap-around deck! Lots of nice windows and ceiling fan, perfect for warmer days and nights. Only change we'd make is change out the Kerig for a regular coffee maker. Kerig's produce too much waste! Although we own property in LaPorte, we decided to check out an "in-town" cabin. It was a great experience. Thanks so much! Lanette, Julee, Rusty, Dag and Penny

Excellent cabin

We stayed for a couple of nights in our old stomping grounds of La Porte. As always, the location is beautiful and incredibly peaceful. The cabin was great, very nicely redone, and very comfortable. Angela and Steve were extremely helpful and kind hosts. Would definitely recommend to anyone wanting a hideaway in gold country.

Rustic Cabin

We loved this cabin. It’s very rustic, no frills, but perfect for us. We were not looking to spend much time inside. It was a good base camp for exploring the gold rush history, cute town, and the lake.

Great Stay

We had a great trip! The cabin was as expected. I think the main issue I had was lack of info about check in and check out... I figured it out with no issues... but wish it had all been laid out somewhere without me having to ask or figure it out. Other than that, it was awesome!

Great escape to the snow!

This cabin was a great home base to explore the tiny mountain town of La Porte. We were cozy and warm - the heater and the hot water are excellent - they really helped us thaw out so we could get back out and enjoy the snow. The kitchen was fully stocked with all the comforts of home - just bring food, everything else is supplied. The manager was friendly and even offered us a tour of the historic Union Hotel. Be sure to stop by the La Porte General Store, they were really helpful as well. If you're going to go and truly enjoy La Porte, this is a great place to go!
