About this property

Gold Country Getaway

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.

Thank you Erica and Kris, Booking and communication went well. The home was perfect for us.Plenty of room inside and out to be together. Home was clean and comfortable.. Nice quiet neighborhood and even though close to freeway, didnt hear it much. Close to stores and restaurants. We loved the area and the house. So much to see and do, the guide they left was very helpful. This house was a great bonus to our get together. Will stay there again, if we go back to that area. Definitely recommend this home Thank you

Awesome house!

We loved our stay here. Everything was easy. There is everything you need and more in the house. We came here to go to ski to Boreal for MLK weekend with Friends. Kitchen is super well equipped, the heat was working very well. Everything works and is in good condition. Everyone loves it. Thank you so much! ( I would just add one chair in the dining area).

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

A Great Time With The Kids!

We traveled with our son to spend time with his kids, our grands. We enjoyed a great visit with them, they all went to ski and snowboard, and granddaughter & I did a girl's day - mani-pedi, etc. The house was great! Very roomy and well stocked with generic supplies for cooking, games, books, bedding, etc. We did have a challenge finding a few things - batteries for remotes, utensils. It rained almost every day, and we did notice some tiny ants coming in the house on the last day. It's a great location and we'll probably stay there again if it's available for our next trip! All in all, we had a great experience staying at the Gold Country Getaway house!

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.

Response from VrboOwner on 7 Aug 2023
We welcome up to 8 guests whether they are on the reservation or not. Unfortunately, this guest blatantly and repeatedly disregarded the no-pet policy. They were contacted and reminded of this policy and chose to disregard it. Law enforcement was called after this reminder was given and the dog was seen entering and exiting the house and running around the yard without a leash. When law enforcement arrived, the guest was given another opportunity to find an alternate location for the dog which they declined.

Beautiful place

Well stocked, clean, large, comfortable place. Good communication with the host through the Vrbo app. We enjoyed the black yard and the bbq for the 4th of July and couple of hikes close by. I agree with another reviewer that the only thing that was a bit off was having so many photoes of the host and their family around. I want to feel like the place is my home for couple of days 🙂 Beautiful place though!

Hello and welcome to our home!! We are Kris, Erica and Hunter. We love the outdoors and spend time, hiking, mountain biking, snowmobiling, kayaking and paddleboarding. We hope that you enjoy our home as much as we have!!

Why they chose this property

This property is quiet, rural and has a great back yard. We love that it is so close to the Auburn State Rec Area and the American River Canyon, which have some amazing, hiking, mountain biking and horse trails. We are also very close to downtown Auburn for shopping and dining. The Placer County Wine Trail and Beer Trail are also nearby and are great for a relaxing afternoon.
