Pine Aire Motel Resort

If you are looking for a bells and whistles kinda place the well keep on truckin’ But if you are looking for a nice lil place to chill with your pets along the canyon then this is the place to go. This was the exact kind of place I was looking for. Victor is one of the nicest laid back people you could meet. He immediately greeted us the moment we drove up. It was nice chatting with him throughout our stay. Gave us alot of helpful info on where to eat and things to do as well. The cottage itself was very clean and accommodating for anyone wanting to do a little cooking while you are there. Beds were comfy and sheets were soft. Direct tv was a perfect little touch to a relaxing time spent. I love this cozy little cabin #7.I can’t wait to try out the others in the future.

I recently stayed at the Pine Air Resort for 4 nights & loved it. There are 6 – 7 rustic cabins nestled along the Feather River where it is just so peaceful & beautiful. Dogs are welcome & free to play off leash if well behaved. Pine Aire’s proprietor, Victor, is a warm, friendly host with a wonderful spirit. He & his wife want everyone to feel welcome & relaxed during their stay & without being intrusive at all, they make themselves available for anything you may need. Prices are fair & reasonable. Cabins are plenty comfortable with good kitchen facilities, tv/​vcr, hundreds of videos, picnic tables outside, etc. The cabins themselves are rather weathered & could use upgrades in some respects. I loved Pine Aire just as it is though. It’s unpretentious & old-​fashioned in all the best ways.

Victor and his wife really make this destination a delight. I call it «camp Pine Aire» and he is the activities director and his wife a native of the canyon, can tell you where the best place to eat, hike, etc. I always enjoy friendly people with an easy laugh. He’s got you covered for whatever you want to do: volleyball, badmitton, kareoke (Not sure about the spelling, much less my level of participating in it).
The river is warm, as thermals seem to be moving along his part of the river’s direction. I’m a big sissy when it comes to dipping in COLD water. So, it was very refreshing without the shock. I enjoyed the inner tubes, and other flotation devices the hosts share with the guests.
Lots of fauna, too. Eagles, harmless snake swimming alongside, you… otter’s with tales of assertive territorial behaviour and trout «nibbles» on thighs.
When you think about coming out, do check in to see if the other guests are going to stay up until 1 am singing, or playing night time frisbee. Let your needs be known and they’ll put you in your ideal cabin.
The only reason I gave 4 stars for «camp Pine Aire» was for the condition of the cabins. While I understand we came upon them without reservations and they were gracious for putting us up in our improvised get-​a-​way-​from-​it-​all and much-​needed-​vacation, there were some things missing. Paper towels, no cups in the cupboard (lots of plates) a leaking refrigerator with a puddle inside, yellow jackets who have their way of making you keep the bathoom window open so they can come and go (or else expect someone wasp-​like to tap you on the shoulder), large gaps in the door frame inviting critters to come in and snack on toes at night, kitchen sink was not clean and the coffee maker had old coffee grounds in the filter holder from previous tenants… things like that make a small difference. The sheets were clean, and the beds made, and bathroom towels were fresh and clean.
I didn’t mind the trains coming through or the logging trucks outside and above the cabin so much… it’s really a sweet place for camping and cutting loose ! I would recommend coming out… call ahead, and tell them Beep Tea Beep sent you.

OK, we just got back from our favorite vacation spot, the Feather River Canyon, and our hide away, the Pine Aire Resort. Well, it’s under new ownership from when we last visited in ’07, bought in spring ’08, by folks who had been long time patrons just like me n the wifey.
Victor and his wife are the new owners who’ve made lots of improvements to each cabin and made this place a damn near perfect getaway from the stresses of my 40 hr/​week. They’ve installed Direct TV access for every cabin. Now you don’t have to deal with just CNN or have to visit the office for some VHS movies unless you want to. You get HBO and other movie channels. Our cabin this trip had a new fridge, and A/​C wall unit. Victor plays cool music through some outdoor speakers, and treats his guests to a nightly big bon fire where we can all sit, drink a bit and chat… pretty much enjoy life!
Victor, I know you’ve got big dreams and plans about this place. All I ask is Please, don’t go too commercial on us, OK? You are a gracious host, we couldn’t ask to be treated any better. We are so glad that folks that appreciate how wonderful the place is, are the ones that took it over.
At the risk of ruining the quiet seclusion of our hidden jewel, the Pine Aire Resort is the COOLEST! Please CHECK IT OUT!!!
