4 NIGHTS AT THE LUXURIOUS 8 BAR RANCH FOR EIGHT Get ready for a truly one-of-a-kind experience. Historically known as Evans Ranch, the 592acre 8 Bar Ranch is a California gem. It is situated in Plumas County, just 5 miles from the golfing mecca of Graeagle and 49 miles from Lake Tahoe. Top shelf improvements include a 16,000 +/- SF lodge (4 King bedroom suites), carriage house (1 Queen bedroom suite), bunkhouse, and barn. Enjoy fishing yearround with trout-filled ponds and creeks surrounded by over a million acres of National Forest Land. The irrigated mountain meadows are great for livestock, and the equestrian enthusiast will love the miles of trails. The timber and parklike setting gives this ranch an exceptional beauty and makes it the grand, entertaining ranch of the mountains. The lodge is unquestionably the “Crown Jewel” of the property. The main entrance is through a set of specially made glass double doors that front an overly sized, ruggedly tasteful Porte-Cochere. Inside is the circular fireplace with an oversized, copper-faced, floating metal chimney two stories tall. Past the fireplace is a raised stage with a Steinway Grand Piano where you can showcase your musical talents. Sip a cold beer on tap at the long wooden table made onsite for up to 22 guests while enjoying the spectacular views from the large window. Blackout dates: The weeks of Thanksgiving and Christmas. Checkout is at noon. Special Thanks:
