Auburn, California
An awe inspiring view, perch on the Bear River cannon on the Nevada County side. The River Roost provides a perfect place to get away from it all, but a grocery market is just minutes away on Highway 49. The sound of the rushing river will lull you to sleep. Guests are catching small mouth bass on the river. Swimming pool or swimming hole, it’s your choice. Due to the drought the water is moving very slowly. (If you have a compromised immune system I would stick with the swimming pool) The Roost has one queen size bed, with one bathroom, living area, two dining areas and an office area with Ethernet internet connection. The terrain is steep in the canyon of the Bear River. There is River access. The view is unobstructed and free of other homes, except for a six million dollar estate down, across the River down stream on top of the mountain.
The hosts were very friendly and helpful and a pure delight! Tucked away in a quite little canyon with a lovely river of rushing waters, it was a beautiful location with nothing lacking for the accommodations. A real treat! Only wish I was able to spend more time there as I was in the area for work, not vacation. Highly recommend.
Property was nice away from the noise of traffic accommodation and bed were very comfortable driveway a little difficult overall good stay only thing I didn’t like and I don’t know if it was Vrbo or the owners raised the price $100 total from what was quoted on the Vrbo site…
It was pretty easy
A nice place, quiet and peaceful with easy access to the Bear River. The swimming pool was great too.
A very relaxing and convenient location.
I really liked the hosts and the space was lovely and well-maintained. They were very attentive and everything felt clean and well-stocked. The pool was awesome! In part we were drawn to this property to be able to swim in the river, but when we arrived the host let us know that the river wasn't safe to swim in due to algae and pesticides. This was a bummer as it was a big draw for us in choosing this particular place. We ended up going to the Yuba and it was really beautiful and fun, so no biggie in the end. It would have been better to know ahead of time that the Bear River on the property was more for looking at and listening to than for swimming in :)
We had a very relaxing time here. The deck is a great place to sit and listen to the Bear River bubbling over rocks, as well as star gaze. Sharon was a very welcoming host...we will be back!
Very nice location on the bear river. Quiet clean and in good condition.
