Great Rustic Getaway

We had a wonderful time at the cabin. The surrounding woods and trails were beautiful and so secluded. The cabin was simple rustic, fun activities, and a warm wood burning stove. The host was awesome and so accommodating. Thank you for a wonderfully relaxing stay.

Beautiful location for my daughter's wedding reception. The host was wonderful throughout our stay, making sure we had everything we needed. We did, and even what we didn't know we needed she had! There is a hot tub in the trees, and if you don't want to be outside in the hot tub, the bathroom has a spa tub that looks out to the trees as if you were in a tree house. There are so many things to do here, badminton, ping pong, hammock, hiking, and the list goes on. The home felt like a log cabin, and was decorated so you can throw off your shoes and stay awhile. Such a peaceful location for a get-away. I highly recommend staying here.

Girls get away

This was the 5 annual getaway for myself, elderly mom & my sister. This was the location for our first outing. After trying others in Northern California we came back here. It is beautiful, relaxing with all the amenities we could want. Diane is a wonderful caring host. Couldn’t ask for more. We decided that this will be our “forever” retreat location

This lovely and amazing VRBO hosted by Diane, who went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable, made for a wonderful romantic getaway for two that we can easily see extending to a week's stay with the whole family. Diane has set the house up to be very generously appointed, with everything from martini glasses to a rice cooker, making it feel like a home away from home (with way more options for entertaining). The space is quiet, clean, and private, yet fun, with plenty to do both indoors and outdoors. We enjoyed relaxing in the hammocks, exploring nature, and sitting outside losing track of time. This retreat is perfect for anyone looking for a serene escape with a touch of adventure! We first stayed for a romantic getaway for two but will definitely be bringing our kids back one day because it's going to be just as nice when they are with us.

Want to get away?

Diane was a great hostess. She contacted me soon after booking and let me know what to expect until check-in time. It is clear that she has been doing this for a long time.Upon arrival, she greeted us and showed us around. All the fire pits were nicely prepped and easy to start. Our daughters loved the games and toys she had. It was a perfect getaway for kids of all ages. She even had a VCR with Disney movies! Each night we watched a different movie, and it was a nice throwback.The only thing that could have made it any better was if there had been snow outside.

can't complain!

Nothing bad to say here, the location is amazingly secluded. One thing to note, you are very close to the owners property. I was nervous at first because to be honest we are recluses and the point of our vacation is getting away from people no matter how nice! We stayed a week and only ran into Diane once. She gave us total privacy which we truly appreciated and valued. Her pups were adorable and added something special to our trip. Nothing is more healing than the combination of dogs and forest. There's so much to do in the area and Diane seems very knowledgeable, I'd come back for sure.Thank you for your hospitality Diane, we are grateful for our time spent there.

Exactly what we wished for!

We are a group of intelligent, chatty, but overall, calm group of women. We wanted a cabin in the woods to help celebrate my bachelorette weekend and the place was perfect! Plenty of space for the introverts to retreat to, spacious and full kitchen, wonderful spa, plenty of sunshine & outside sitting, and cozy beds. The DVD system wasn't working one evening, but Diane came in and fixed it for us! We also explored nearby Colfax, hiked around the gorgeous property, and swam out in Rollins Lake. Lovely, LOVELY weekend and a great host! I did manage to get several bug bites around one eye while sleeping, but that is nobody's doing but nature. And we wanted nature! Thank you, Diane!

Best owner yet

I came with my 2 teen nephews, my 2 teen children and my dog for a getaway together. I rent houses like this at least once a year for several years now. This is hands down the best experience I’ve had with the owner of a property (and they’ve all been positive). She is above and beyond great to communicate with and deal with. The house has everything you could possibly need/want. It’s extremely clean, has SO many games and things to do, kitchen is fully stocked, etc. It’s really even better than the pictures can show. We are dog people, and Piper, the owner’s dog and our dog were friends immediately and we loved having her visit with us too. There is no area for improvement here. Best experience across the board. Beds are SO comfortable too!!! We will be coming back.

Great getaway

This mountain house is a great getaway for anyone who wants to enjoy the pines and/or escape from the hustle and bustle of normal daily life. Very gracious and helpful host. Comfortable beds, well stocked kitchen and bathrooms, lots of books, puzzles, and outdoor sports equipment, plus an outdoor spa and an indoor jacuzzi bathtub. Good hiking trails. About a 40 min drive to gold rush towns of Nevada City and Grass Valley and also to Donner Pass area. House located about 5-7 min drive off Hwy 80 in a secluded area with absolutely no traffic noise. A plus--if you like dogs--is friendly Piper who is always eager to be petted.

About the host

Hosted by Diane Stevenson

Host profile image
This picture is of me and my dog, Amy (she is in "dog heaven" now), as we were resting on the large rock outcropping that overlooks the American River canyon on our way down the Pickering Bar trail. We have a new dog named Piper who will gladly accompany you on any of the local hikes. (She thinks that is her job.)

Why they chose this property

I bought this as our family compound, but as lives change, so did ours. Using this home as a vacation rental has helped me to finance my son's college education. I have also been able to donate weekly reservations to the numerous good causes, including the Down's Buddy Walk and numerous fund raisers for the families of Cancer patients. I move in myself when we have company from out of town and pretend that I am 'on vacation' too! It's great!

What makes this property unique

I love hiking down into the 'diggings', exploring the old gold mining areas, swimming in the mountain lakes, sitting in the spa under the stars and just enjoying the quiet solitude of this gorgeous and peaceful setting.
