About this property

The Gold Country Getaway is a cozy home located in the Sierra Nevada Foothills. Our home features vaulted pine ceilings and a great backyard space. It is located just outside the Auburn City limits, just off the American River Canyon and close to I-80. This house offers great access to the Auburn State Rec Area for hiking and biking. Old Town Auburn dining and shopping is just minutes away. Tahoe, Sacramento and Nevada City are all within driving distance of our home.

Our guest will have full access to the house including the backyard. It includes a full stocked kitchen, recently remodeled bathroom and a great back yard space with a fire pit. The backyard is my favorite aspect of this house. It is lined with shrubs providing privacy. The back deck has a Webster grill, propane heater, and outdoor lighting. Our fire pit has chairs to enjoy fires in the evening and we do provide some firewood. The fire department does impose a burn ban during summer months which is generally May-October which prohibits the use of the fire pit.

The neighborhood provides quick access to I-80 but is fair enough away to enjoy the quiet. The house is located on a very quiet, family-friendly street. The house offers great access to trails, the Placer County Wine and Beer Trail, shopping, and dining.

Great vacation spot, central to lots, quiet and cozy

Erica was a great host. Communications were prompt and clear, checked in to see if there were any needs, which we didn't have since the home was so well furnished. Extra blankets, sheets, detergent all well stocked with great documentation on where everything is. We love Auburn since it's close to both the mountains and the big city activities of Sacramento, but also loaded with lots of small town charm and fun (hiking, dining, golf) and this rental is close to the freeway for quick access but still set back enough to be very quiet and private. Grocery store and Ikeda's is walking distance

January in Auburn

We had a great time at the house. It was close to everything that we did. The house was very comfortable and lots of room. The host was always available if we had a question. Thank you for sharing your home.

BEWARE -- avoid this property

I planned to have 3 friends staying for the weekend so I booked this property. We had a dog with us, but he was going to be staying in our camper van, so the "no-pet" policy was fine. Well, the owner apparently watches the cameras and immediately messaged be about the dog. I told her, no worries, I would be sure the dog would not enter the house and we would clean up after him. Fast forward to 11pm at night, the Sheriff shows up at the door to evict us! Apparently, since I had an extra friend who wanted to come (the house is listed for up to 8 people so I assumed this was fine), this was grounds for eviction. She never ONCE asked me for a list of everyone staying here. We would have been impeccable visitors, leaving the place exactly how we found it. But instead, she chose to call the police in the middle of the night. Not to mention, she obviously watches those cameras like a hawk, which is a bit disturbing on it's own. I would avoid this property.
