In order for our Combie Cottage to provide accommodations for larger groups, beds will need to be shared as well as trundles and couches utilized in living room. Besides the four bedrooms that can sleep ten if beds are shared, there are also two queen sofa sleepers in the living room. Because of the size of the cottage, it is recommended that larger groups only use the 1800 sq foot home during summer months when there is no threat of rain and people can be outside for most of the day.

I love Nature and my favorite setting is spending time at my cottage on Lake Combie. I am also a traveler and am happiest when exploring other cultures and distant locations.
Judith Potor purchased this Cottage in 1985
Why Judith Potor chose Auburn
I grew up in the South and my family had a 'Camp' on a recreational lake. My happiest memories were those at that lake when I was water skiing and swimming with family and friends. After moving to the West, it became my dream to find a 'California Camp' and give my own children a similar lakeside experience. I have owned this property for more than 30 years and it is still my fondest place to visit. Now I have grand children with whom to share this most special of lakeside retreats. I also hope that you can enjoy it, too!
What makes this Cottage unique
Nature! Nature! Nature! My favorite experience is awakening in the early morning and seeing mist rising from the lake. It is also wonderful fun to go exploring by boat and visit an area of marshland not far from the dam that reminds me of the southern lake that I so loved growing up in Louisiana. You don't need to own a boat to take a voyage of discovery, because you may enjoy my canoe, kayaks, or small fishing boat ( you bring the trolling motor) free of charge! I also have a great swing, located on a sandy beach close to the water, for enjoying lazy days, or looking at the night stars; a floating dock which can be used for lounging or fishing; and a large outside deck which offers amazing water views of a jewel of a lake that most people do not even know about! If you have a boat, you may bring your own from May - mid September and can launch it from my own private ramp and then tie it up to the property's floating dock. There is even a slalom course on the lake for ski and wake board enthusiasts! Kayak or canoe to the Bear River and visit Upper Lake Combie, an area where few go, but is the home to much wildlife and water fowl. Combie Cottage sits beside one of only seven lakes which retain its water all summer long. It is truly a special place to visit!
