Founded in 1850 and once a booming mining town, Sierra City is now a popular tourist destination for sightseers, photographers, anglers, hikers, mountain bikers, and outdoor-enthusiasts of all types. There is so much to see and do. Stay awhile to relax, explore and unwind.

Standard accommodations include one king or two queen beds, bathroom, satellite TV with local networks, coffee makers, mini-fridge, and furnished, covered decks with either mountain or river views. Restaurant level rooms have WiFi. Fully-equipped kitchen units are also available.
Relax by the River
The beautiful, clear emerald waters of the North Yuba River meander for a third of a mile through Sierra Pines Resort.
Along our maintained private walking trails, you’ll discover picnic tables and chairs placed beside the river for your relaxation.
Activities for All
The Resort features a pond stocked with Rainbow Trout and our lobby is built around a century old Royal Ann Cherry tree. Play ping-pong, billiards & board games in the game room or horseshoes & cornhole in the meadow. In the evening, cozy up with hot cocoa around the campfire.
