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.

Close to downtown, clean, quiet, comfortable

we loved our stay here. We stayed here for the weekend to ski in Tahoe and it was a great home to come home to. We were able to enjoy downtown and old town Auburn very easily at night. Very cozy stay.

Family gathering

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

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

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.

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!

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).

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!

Home away from home

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!

All the perfect touches

Our family had a very relaxing time staying here. Erica’s welcome guide was super helpful, with all the information presented to have a lovely stay. I enjoyed a few hikes nearby with my daughter and loved the view of the gorgeous tree with fall colors with my morning coffee . Thank you Erica for all the thoughtful touches throughout your home. Our family enjoyed it very much.
