Photos and Description of the Portola vacation apartment rental
1br/1ba sleeps 6

The Buzzard's Roost is a newly remodeled one bedroom second level apartment with deck overlooking the Feather River, just outside of town. Landing bridge through the pine trees leads to the apartment. A very comfortable thick memory foam bed was purchased for your enjoyment, as were two Satellite flat-screen TVs. The Buzzard's Roost is part of our old family home built by our parents over 60 years ago from lumber they salvaged as young adults dismantling Walker Mine, which was located north of Lake Davis.

The Buzzard's Roost sits on the Feather River so it is a great place for kids and dogs to explore. There are no fences between you and the river, so you have the ability to roam wherever you want!

If you're a train buff, the railroad tracks are up on the hill across the river. You have front row seats to watch the excitement that the trains bring to this area. As kids we grew up watching the trains and waving to them. The Railroad Museum is just a short drive into town.

Very easy access from the top of the driveway to the bike/walking path that leads into town. It is an easy walk or ride for anyone.

The Buzzard's Roost is clean and furnished, though to keep the cost down and to make it possible for us to run our full-time business as well as the vacation rental, WE PROVIDE BLANKETS, PILLOWS AND TOWELS; YOU BRING YOUR OWN SHEETS & PILLOW CASES AND MAKE YOUR OWN BEDS.

The Buzzard's Roost is conveniently located, giving easy access to the many desirable destinations in this area while offering you the privacy and relaxation that you just can't get in a motel room, bed and breakfast, campsite, or RV space. We also have a very cute cabin available see VRBO.COM #314548 Contact us for details.

Great people!

Arriving the end of November, I had the bad luck to come into CA the same time as a nasty bit of winter weather. Glenda, the owner, kept me updated as to the state of the two roads into their property, and when it became clear we were not going to be able to get there due to ice and snow, very kindly refunded my check. With two daughters and grandchildren out that way, I will definitely keep them in mind for future trips. Good, honest folk!

We stayed at the Buzzards Roost for a few days after Christmas to relax and decompress- it was perfect. Glenda and her family keep the apartment very clean and orderly and were very easy to communicate with. We can't wait to visit again!
Owner's Response: Thank you so much for the nice review! Glad you enjoyed your visit to The Buzzard's Roost; we appreciate the business! Please come again!

Best Birthday/Almost Christmas Get Away!!

Thanks Glenda 4 being amazing accommodating & very easy to work with. Thank U for quick responses & making renting the Roost a breeze. Well worth it we loved it & CANT WAIT TO COME BACK!

The Buzzards Roost is amazing in & out. It has privacy but also very attentive hosts! We were greeted by Kelsha & Bill even though it was late snowin & freezin but there they were with great big smiles waiting to greet us upon our late arrival!

The Roost is beautiful! Well stocked kitchen, BBQ outside. Ample blankets towels pillows (The towels & bedding are better then any 5 star hotel any day any time & they dont smell like nasty bleach #justsayin). The bed is memory foam & the pillows are so comfy. Everything is comfortable handy clean & nicely decorated. We got lucky & got the X-Mas treatment with a fresh cut decorated X-Mas Tree in the living room. It was beautiful!

We arrived on the 21st for a My 25 Bday/PreChristmas get away. On SAT/22 (my Bday) upon waking up I found a text from Kelsha inviting my BF/Conan & I to breakfast which was great! We were joined by the guest of Grandpas Cabin (their other rental) & some missionary's & Bill & Kelshas children & their awesome pets. What a wonderful way to spend my birthday morning. My BF was convinced to play guitar, that was delightful! BF & I needed coffee so we left for a bit & upon our return Kelsha & her Daughter greeted me at our door cupcakes in hand to wish me a Happy Birthday. I was so touched. Thank you for making my b-day perfect!

The rest of our stay was great, got a chance to shovel snow, (Thank u for the loaner snow boots) There were snow ball fights snow bird/thing man & We just had a nice relaxing time together away from the city life. It was perfect! I HIGHLY recommend the BR & cant wait to return, but next time can we borrow a cat, we missed ours alot!! :D

If I could suggest anything, it would be coat hooks on doors, walls hooks above the heater in the BD, LR, in the winter its hard to dry wet clothes, so being able to hang things above the heater, or on doors would be nice! No other complaints at all! Maybe scissors too!

Thank you Glenda & Paul for the rental. Thank you Kelsha & Bill, kids, & pets for going above & beyond and making our vacation b-day something to always remember, everything was perfect, lots of snow and all! Kelsha and Bill are very helpful and nice!

FYI Bring your own ground coffee, there is a maker, no grinder! No oven either just convection oven, but thats ok it works great!

Owner's Response: Wow! Thanks for the great comments! We are so glad you enjoyed your visit to The Buzzard's Roost! Glad you were able to enjoy your birthday in the beautiful snowy mountains! We look forward to having you come again!

It Was Wonderful!

Dear Glenda, Paul, Kelsha & Bill,
Thank you so much for everything! It was wonderful!
We love coming here and apprciate all your hospitality.
This is a healing place for me and I wish I could have spent more time visiting. It seems like I had several days here but had to cram all the visiting into one day! Everything landed on Sunday!
Kelsha, you are amazing at what you do! You have an amazing gift. I'm thrilled to know that I have another healing modality or avenue to take advantage of.
Thank you so much again for everything!
Sure love you guys!
Michelle
