About Markleeville
With fewer than two hundred residents, Markleeville is a tiny, peaceful mountain community tucked into the eastern Sierra Nevada. As the seat of California’s least populated county, it offers a quiet, slow-paced lifestyle surrounded by pine forests, river valleys, and nearby Grover Hot Springs. Daily life centers on the outdoors, county offices, and casual gatherings at the local cafe and general store. Winters bring heavy snow that often shuts down high mountain passes, making the town a great fit for anyone drawn to rugged alpine beauty, close-knit neighbors, and total peace and quiet.
