About this property

New French Country Cottage - Horses Welcome!

This lovely cottage was custom built in 2020 with a French Country décor. It sits just seconds off the I-80 and is nestled in a small valley providing quiet privacy. Come enjoy the serenity of 20-acres of rolling hills where six horses run and play just 50 feet behind your private patio.

We welcome those looking to enjoy a quiet setting (no parties or loud music, please).

✓ Horses welcome (ask for details)

✓ Invite up to 4 Local friends for a small, quiet gathering.

Guests have access to the entire cottage; a completely separate and private residence from the main house. The cottage boasts 1100 square feet of tranquility with two living areas and two separate sleeping areas, each with a private entrance. French doors provide the opportunity to have breakfast while watching the wildlife roam. With over a dozen oil paintings from all over the world, this little country cottage is an art lovers dream. Very private, quiet, and well appointed.

✓ Private entrance to Master Bedroom with King size bed

✓ Cable TV with Premium Channels and Roku on-demand viewing

✓ Full kitchen

✓ Coffee & Tea stations

✓ Laundry on-site for guests staying 7 nights

✓ French doors allow wheelchair access (wheeled walker available)

We love animals and have a friendly dog who roams the property. We therefore ask your pets remain at home.

The place was perfect and exactly as described. There’s lots of open space indoors and out. Everything was immaculate. A great location for visiting family in the area. The neighborhood is peaceful, beautiful, and safe. We particularly enjoyed listening to the birdsong in the morning with a good cup of coffee - so relaxing! The hosts are extremely helpful and very responsive. Appreciated the wonderfully helpful book with information about the ranch, the horses, and surrounding places to check out.

Hi Adelaida, I’m surprised by your review, as the Cottage is professionally cleaned on a very regular basis. I’m sorry you found the kitchen too small for your liking - the photos are quite representative of the space. We are always available to remedy any situation for our guests - if you had reached out, we would have been happy to try to accomodate you. We take the comfort of our guests very seriously.

Beautiful home in a great location nearby Auburn for family visits. Very spacious living area and great patios. We loved watching the horses and jack rabbits at night, and morning coffee with Boris was a treat! The info book was nicely done with lots of suggestions for activities and eatery's and fun information about the horses and host!
