Learn more about Vacasa Premium Clean >With a population just under 800, Graeagle is a truly tiny town, making it a lovely place for taking a load off and relieving yourself of the stress of big-city life. Admire rolling fields and verdant pine trees as you stroll through the area, following the gentle flow of the Gray Eagle Creek past the lake bed east of town.
When you're ready for lunch, restaurants like Graeagle Mill Works and the Knotty Pine Tavern can supply you with delicious food and drink, while the Indian Peak Vineyards Graeagle Tasting Room offers a chance to enjoy the unique vintages of Northern Californian wine.
If you'd like to surround yourself in more of Graeagle's fresh air and natural beauty, just head to the golf course at the south end of town, or take a bracing hike in Plumas-Eureka State Park. Come back to your vacation rental and enjoy a nice home-cooked meal to complete the perfect day!
If you're looking for a home base for exploring the winding trails and dense foliage of the Golden State's northern forests, you won't find a home base much better than Graeagle! The town is just south of Plumas National Forest, and only a few hours from Lassen. The sprawling national park features miles of trails through dense forests, as well as unique attractions thanks to the volcanic geography of the region. Be sure to check out the colorfully-named Bumpass Hell, named for the eccentric miner, Kendall Vanhook Bumpass, who discovered these unearthly sulfur pits while looking for a place to set up a hot spring!
As nice as summertime walks through the forests can be, there's nothing quite like spending your winters near the legendary snow and skiing of Lake Tahoe. Graeagle is a mere 61 miles north of the area, and the road to Tahoe is nearly as much fun as the lake is itself. You'll wind through forests and valleys, past reservoirs and charming small towns, before eventually reaching the nearby town of Truckee.
If you time your visit just right, you can enjoy an amazing Christmas celebration, where colorful lights cast gorgeous reflections on the snow all around you. Just don't get so lost in the magic that you forget to continue onwards to Tahoe itself!
From admiring the frozen waters of the lake to careening down ski slopes in Bear Valley to the south, a winter wonderland unlike anywhere else in California awaits you.
