3 Bedroom House in Keddie, Quincy

A Family paradise at 3225 feet elevation nestled in the majestic Sierra Nevada Mountains! Located just seven miles from the Plumas county seat of Quincy, California. Here is where you will find this lovely home on the banks of Spanish Creek. Situated just below the historic old resort, mining community, and railroad town of Keddie. Positioned within viewing distance from our home is one of the seven wonders of the Western Pacific Railroad, the famous Wye bridge trestle. The “Wye” and town were named for Arthur Keddie. Keddie was an engineer who pioneered and surveyed the route for the railroad through the Feather River back in 1909.
Fast forward to the 1960s when Keddie was being transformed into a resort by realtor Clarence Arthur English Jr. who had purchased the town in ’57 with the goal of making it into a first class resort destination. One of the features that Mr. English developed was the “Swimmin Hole’ which were a series of stone stairs leading down to patios and built in stone barbecue pits on the banks of Spanish Creek.
More than 50 years later the beautiful rock work and patios still exist and in fact have been reborn for today’s generation of families. This wonderful setting with its modest home is available now to be enjoyed by young and old alike.
The home is a fully equipped, modern, and cheerful. It has three private sleeping areas. The master bedroom has a large closet, a California King bed, and it's own private bath. The large master bath includes a beautiful claw foot tub for relaxing, a separate private room with a large modern stand-up shower. Another sleeping room offers a Queen Bed with antique dressers. This room also has its own door into a full bath. The front of the house has another sleeping room that has a Double Bed. Off this room is the laundry with a washer and dryer and storage area. A Queen size Aero Bed is also available.
The home has a fully stocked modern kitchen with refrigerator/freezer, cook top, double ovens and a dishwasher. The counter area also has three high backed stools to accommodate seating at the kitchen counter.
Off the kitchen is a sitting area for relaxing and enjoying the pictures and history of Keddie Resort in its heyday of the 1960s.
The dinning area has seating for six, while the living area has a large sofa just right for viewing the hi-definition large screen television that is artfully hidden when not in use in the large decorative wall cabinet and book case.
Out the French doors by the kitchen and sitting area is a covered porch that spans the entire length of the house. Seating is not a problem in the numerous chairs, the outside bar, and bar stools that adorn the porch.

Summary: We just got home today and the last few years have spend one week a year with Ember & Chris’s warm and gracious hosting at their place on the Spanish River. All amenities are first-class all the way, a more than fully equipped kitchen, luxury bedding and towels, the list goes on and on. It never fails to refresh and renew us. Lots to do and see, or nothing at all, as is my personal preference. We look forward year after year to returning. That being said, see you next year!!!

Summary: My family had a lovely time. Your home is a slice of heaven so thanks for all of the thoughtful touches to make it memorable. 😀

Summary: Perfect, as always. A week of resting, reading, and enjoying the hospitality of Ember & Chris. So many updates this year! It only added to the pleasure of this ‘home away from home’. We just got home today, but can’t wait for next year!

Summary: We had such a wonderful time staying at this property. It’s tucked away in a private area right ON the river and so close to a private swimming hole. I loved the deck and patio by the river, and really sweet spot to enjoy the peacefulness of the area. The hosts were so easy to get a hold of and pleasant to interact with. The house was stocked with everything we needed and stores in town were only a short 10 min drive away. We were there during an unfortunate heat wave but the hosts provided clear direction on how to keep the house cool and comfortable. We’re hoping to come back again soon!

Summary: I would love to give this place a bad review so I don’t have to compete with other people in the future for it but, of course, I can’t do that. This house is absolutely idyllic. Right on the creek, rustic, huge well-equipped kitchen, awesome, super responsive host. This spot really has it all. Close enough to Quincy to grab supplies but far enough out that you feel really isolated. Quiet (except for the occasional train which I happen to love) and stocked with everything you could need. We plan on coming back during the fishing/summer season. Thanks Ember!!!

Summary: This is a beautiful property that is very well cared for and maintained. The house is gorgeous and the surrounding property is amazing. Chris and Ember do a fantastic job ensuring the home has everything you'll need for your stay, and their communication is superb. This is a fantastic spot for a nice quiet get away, and also offers a great location for many different adventures if you want. We will definitely be coming back to enjoy the house during the summer months!!

Summary: We had an amazing stay at English Oaks. It was clean, comfortable and cozy. The beds were amazing. We enjoyed the beautiful surroundings, so much love put into the landscaping and outside relaxing spots. Ember and Chris were awesome hosts! We would definitely love to come back to this slice of heaven. The Bretty Bunch
