Auburn, California
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.
This property is the most amazingly appointed short term rental that I have ever stayed in. I travel a ton and this home truly felt like home away from home, with ample space, so many amenities, quiet neighborhood. Highly recommend!
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.
We needed a nice place to house our son's Groomsmen for his wedding and this was perfect.
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!
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).
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!
This was a lovely home to return to after exploring the area
Clean and very usable for our extended family. Good communication with property mgr. Handy location and quiet neighborhood
We really enjoyed our stay at the Gold Country Getaway! The location was ideal for our stay. The property was roomy, and the 6 of us had plenty of space to move about. The property was very clean, and there were plenty of towels. We had a great time!
We had a wonderful weekend stay at Erica’s home in Auburn. It was clean, cozy and well stocked with even small items such as bathroom soaps, cotton balls & Q-tips. Condiments in the refrigerator were also a nice extra. The beds and pillows were comfortable (a must)! I never did figure out how to navigate the televisions, but we didn’t spend much time on that anyway. Our only comment, which was not a negative, was that the family pictures there were odd. Also it was good that we had one tall person with us because the rest of us couldn’t reach the coffee cups. Access to the freeway was easy! Had a great time!
We enjoyed this home for a girls getaway. The host thought of many things and we wanted for nothing. It is cute and cozy. Had a great time and would rent it again.
