Quincy is a charming Sierra Nevada county seat with a walkable downtown, local cafés and markets, and immediate access to Plumas National Forest—ideal for multi-week assignments if you enjoy hiking, river and lake recreation, seasonal snow, and a friendly, small‑town community vibe.
Within an easy drive are Lake Almanor (boating, fishing, lakeside trails) and the larger college town of Chico for more dining, shopping and cultural options, so you get peaceful outdoor living plus occasional city amenities.
