Airport Commuter Black SUV chauffeur for the Frank Lloyd Wright-designed mountain golf resort in Plumas County's Lost Sierra — the 42-room Inn at Nakoma, the Taliesin-designed villas, The Dragon golf course above the Feather River, and the Altitude rec center, opening AC's Lost Sierra sub-region near Graeagle.
Nakoma Resort, in the Gold Mountain community near Graeagle, Portola, and Clio in Plumas County, is built around a Frank Lloyd Wright-designed clubhouse in the Northern Sierra region known as the Lost Sierra. Wright drew the Nakoma design in 1924 for a Wisconsin country club that was never built; the 24,000-square-foot building was finally realized and opened here in 2001, certified as a Wright structure by the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation, with a geometric roofline of octagonal towers and the 60-foot-high Wigwam Room around a four-sided central fireplace. Lodging is the Inn at Nakoma, a 42-room inn completed in 2015 — the first new lodging development in Plumas County in decades — plus twelve Taliesin-designed villas. Nakoma opens AC's Lost Sierra sub-region, Plumas County's Feather River country between Lake Tahoe and Lassen.

Nakoma Resort is the mountain golf resort near Graeagle in Plumas County's Lost Sierra, built around a Frank Lloyd Wright-designed clubhouse. Wright drew the Nakoma design in 1924 for a Wisconsin country club that was never built; the 24,000-square-foot building was finally realized and opened here in 2001 and is a certified Wright structure, with octagonal towers and the 60-foot-high Wigwam Room around a four-sided fireplace. The resort offers the 42-room Inn at Nakoma (2015), twelve Taliesin-designed villas, The Dragon golf course, and the Altitude recreation center. Nakoma opens AC's Lost Sierra sub-region - Plumas County's Feather River country of alpine lakes, golf, and forests between Lake Tahoe and Lassen, distinct from the Tahoe and Truckee anchors - and AC chauffeurs guests from Reno or Truckee into the mountains with a Black SUV waiting through the day.
Nakoma's centerpiece is the Frank Lloyd Wright clubhouse and its dramatic 60-foot Wigwam Room. Lodging is the Inn at Nakoma, a 42-room inn that opened in 2015 as the first new lodging development in Plumas County in decades, plus twelve Taliesin-designed villas in the resort community. The Dragon is the golf course - a mountain layout above the wild and scenic Feather River, with views from every tee box, consistently ranked among the top public courses in Northern California. The Altitude recreation center adds a 14,000-square-foot space with a heated outdoor pool and spa, a climbing wall, a fitness center, a movie theater, a teen center, and the Middle Fork Bistro and Bar. It is a self-contained mountain resort in a quiet, scenic corner of the Northern Sierra.
The Lost Sierra is the Northern Sierra Nevada around Graeagle, Portola, and the Feather River in Plumas County - a quieter, less-developed alternative to the Tahoe basin, full of alpine lakes (the Lakes Basin Recreation Area, Gold Lake, Sardine Lakes), golf, hiking, fishing, and historic Gold Rush towns. Graeagle itself is a former lumber-company town turned golf and outdoor village. The region sits between Lake Tahoe and Lassen Volcanic National Park, and AC's Tahoe and Truckee anchors - the Ritz-Carlton Lake Tahoe, Edgewood Tahoe, Gravity Haus Truckee, and the Truckee Hotel - are about an hour south. AC builds a Lost Sierra and Tahoe mountain-golf chauffeur circuit pairing Nakoma with the Tahoe resorts.
RNO Reno-Tahoe International Airport is about 1 hour 15 to 30 minutes east and is the closest major airport. TRK Truckee Tahoe Airport is about an hour south for general aviation and private jets, and Nervino Airport in Beckwourth is about 15 minutes for small general aviation. SMF Sacramento International is about 2 hours 15 minutes west, and SFO is about 4 hours. From SF Bay, an SFO-RNO flight plus the chauffeur is the fastest routing, or the direct mountain drive over the Sierra. Nakoma and the Lost Sierra pair with AC's Lake Tahoe and Truckee anchors - the Ritz-Carlton Lake Tahoe, Edgewood Tahoe, and Gravity Haus Truckee - for a Northern Sierra mountain-golf tour. AC positions vehicles at Reno, Truckee, and Sacramento for Graeagle and the Lost Sierra.
