Hot Tub☀️Horse-Boarding🐴Gameroom🎯Cozy King Cottage

This beautiful cozy cottage is perfect for your next getaway! Tucked away in the woods surrounded by gorgeous mature foliage, you’ll enjoy all the peaceful sights and sounds this home has to offer. Sip your morning coffee on the porch as deer pass through the yard, explore by horseback (boarding available upon request), and unwind in the hot tub under the stars. We have all the essentials, plus some fabulous luxuries, to ensure a relaxing retreat for the entire family. We can’t wait to host you!

The gorgeous open living room leads right into the magazine-ready kitchen and dining area. Enjoy complimentary tea, coffee, and snacks upon your arrival. We have plenty of private sleeping space for the whole family in our three spacious bedrooms with five beds total, and we offer a porta-crib for little ones upon request. Curl up on the couch and enjoy your favorite show or movie on our large, flatscreen TV equipped with a great selection of streaming services. Gather in the game room for indoor fun, or head outside for more adventure. We have tons of hiking and water activities nearby! We offer horse boarding upon request, with both shelter and fenced pasture.

We are located off a private road that dead-ends at the lake. Upon arrival at our cottage, you’ll enjoy self-check-in by accessing your key via lockbox.

We designed this cottage with features and amenities to meet everybody’s needs. Please ask if there’s something you’re looking for but don’t see. We’re happy to help!

HOUSE RULES:
Hey there!

I know it looks like a ton of information but I like for my guests to know everything there is to know about my space!

I want to be fully transparent, so I've included information and other helpful tips to make your stay enjoyable.

If you have questions, send me a message!

CONSUMABLES: You'll find a variety of seasonings, cooking oil, coffee (regular and decaf), tea, sweetener, etc.

DINNER GUESTS: We understand some of your family may live nearby. We are open to our guests having family over to share a meal. We love helping folks make memories! The home is NOT to exceed 7 people total and dinner guest requests MUST be pre-approved by the host in advance. This offer is only available to guests with other excellent reviews. Only registered guests (7 total) may stay the night. Unauthorized guests beyond what is stated in the reservation will result in a $100 per guest per night fee.

THE DAY OF CHECK OUT: I don't require much in the way of cleaning. After all, you paid a cleaning fee right? Please do your dishes. Place all trash in the trash cans located throughout the home. Turn off the lights and heater/air conditioner, close and lock any windows you may have opened and return the key back to the lockbox. No need to empty all the trash cans, mop, vacuum, strip the beds or do laundry. We will take care of it! We just want our guests to RELAX!

Additionally, if you move any furniture during your stay, please return it to where you found it. A $100 fee will be charged if furniture is not returned to its original placement by the day of check-out.

HOT TUB: Please refrain from using the hot tub as a cold pool. Doing so prevents the filters from operating correctly, requiring the tub to be drained and deep cleaned after departure. Should this rule be disregarded, a $100 cleaning fee will be applied. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation to ensure the longevity and quality of the hot tub experience for all guests.

SMOKING POLICY: This is a smoke free environment including cigarettes, e-cigarettes, vape, etc. The smell is impossible to remove and could cause disruptions to future guest reservations. If evidence of smoking indoors is discovered, an additional fee of $100 will be charged and potentially the additional cost that is incurred by losing the next guest's reservation because we cannot eliminate the odor in time for the next arrival. Marijuana is legal in California and IS ALLOWED OUTSIDE ONLY.

CLEANING FEE: Our cleaning fee is based on a courteous guest that leaves the home in good condition. If the home is extremely dirty after check out, you will be charged an additional $100 cleaning fee. This fee includes but is not limited to the discovery of blood, vomit, urine, feces or any other biohazard. Please be advised, we will not attempt to clean any bodily fluid stained items due to potential health risks to my family and future guests. Instead, I will throw the item(s) away, forward my purchase receipts to VRBO and bill you to replace the item(s) in question. Thanks for your understanding!

OVERSTAY FEE: If you are still occupying my property at the 10AM check out time, you will automatically be charged the cost of an additional day at the base rate with no discounts. This does not award you possession of the property, this is just a penalty. If the next guest cannot check in because we cannot clean the home in time, you will be charged the cost associated with losing that reservation.

UNDECLARED GUEST FEE: To deter parties, any undeclared guests over the max occupancy of seven that enter our property, will be charged $100 per person, per day.
Only registered guests are allowed on the property. Absolutely no sex offenders, felons or any other criminals are allowed on my property.

SAFETY/CLEANING PRODUCT PLACEMENT: We happily welcome children but please keep in mind our home is not baby proofed.

COMPLAINTS/REFUNDS: We always try to make everything perfect and because this is our home, we rarely have any unexpected issues. All complaints must be made within the first two hours of arrival on check in day. By addressing a complaint about any aspect of the property to VRBO or the host, you are authorizing the host or maintenance person to come to the property to remedy the situation up to the standards you require. Power outages, weather and road conditions, acts of nature, flight cancellations, sightings of insects, malfunctions with the TV's internet service, or other equipment/appliances do not qualify for refunds. We recommend purchasing travel insurance and reviewing VRBO's terms of service. We reserve the right to refuse accommodation or demands from rude, disrespectful and/or discourteous guests.

CAMERAS/SECURITY SYSTEM: The Property has security cameras placed in the front porch / entrance and at the garage facing the backdoor. This video footage is not shared and is recorded for liability reasons in the cases of a break-in, death, injury, guests sneaking in pets, guests disregarding the maximum occupancy allowed, and in no way infringes upon the guests’ expectations of privacy in these public areas of the property. Any attempt at disabling or obscuring the cameras is prohibited and may result in the guest being evicted without refund. The full deposit will be forfeited if any of the above are found. You will also be asked to leave the property immediately without any money returned.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS: You understand you are renting a short-term rental property and will not have tenant rights, no matter the length of your stay. This is considered written proof to the authorities that you have no rights to the home after your reservation has ended. You will be considered a trespasser. Violate the house rules and your reservation will be terminated immediately and is considered grounds for removal from the property without refund. Private security will be hired at your expense to remove all trespassers. You are entering the host's property at your own risk. The host disclaims any liability and shall not be held responsible for any personal injury, accident, incident, pet injury, death, property damage or loss. The host will not be responsible for damages of any kind or any other liability whatsoever arising from or in conjunction with a reservation made through VRBO. Anyone, including undeclared guests who enter the host's property agrees to the house rules and conditions.

Violation of any of these house rules will result in your reservation being immediately canceled without refund.

Great Cottage

We rented this place with friends for the Thanksgiving long weekend and absolutely had a blast. Everything is clean and look just like the photos. The kitchen is very spacious, easy to entertain while cooking dinner every night. We enjoyed the hot tub and the game room too, both foosball and dart are good quality. Beds are comfortable as well. The place is close to so many different regional parks and hikes as well as small town. Very easy to get around. Most importantly, we really like Laura, the super host. She is responsive, easy to communicate, and most importantly very considerate. We will definitely book this place again if we are back to the area!

Perfect Property

This property was exactly what we needed for an overdue girls weekend. The location was perfect for some antiquing on Saturday, close enough to town but far enough to get away from traffic noise. We took a few nice walks through the neighborhood - it's lovely! The house had everything we needed to have a relaxing and enjoyable weekend. Thank you.

Great Vacation spot for families and friends!

This property is exactly as described. The hosts are super responsive and will help you if you need it. I would highly recommend this to a group of friends looking to hang out or families. The layout is such that forces you to hang out, but has room everyone, which is perfect for a get together. Two families could easily share this spot for a vacation. The place is clean and has everything you need.

Quiet and Clean

Laura was communicative and supported privacy. Home was well-stocked for travelers. Did not see in description of need to go through one bedroom to access the next. Main bathroom could use an update. Home sleeps 6 but living room comfortably seats only 4-5 and seems a bit empty. Overall, comfortable and clean in a quiet atmosphere-close by Auburn but enough away to provide calm. Would recommend.

A little trip away from the city

Property was nicely settled off main road. Lots of trees and we saw deer regularly. The house was cozy, updated kitchen, and good space. The bathrooms could have used some updating, including some additional storage in the master. The location was great, far enough from the noise but close enough to do some exploring in nearby Auburn and Rocklin. We took a trip through the mountains to Apple Hill as well. Overall cute, cozy space! Highly recommend.

A quiet retreat yet close to everything!

It was a perfect place for our out of town family to stay together for our daughters wedding. We enjoyed the game room and hot tub as well as the spacious living room and kitchen for visiting with friends and family throughout the week. Laura is a great host and communicator who made us feel welcomed and informed. Perfect for a short or extended stay-a quiet retreat yet close to everything!

Peaceful Getaway

We had such a quiet and relaxing stay at Laura‘s place. The rental is a charming older cottage with a nice updated interior and modern "country style" kitchen that was easy and pleasant for cooking. The location and surroundings were beautiful. We enjoyed watching the deer who came to visit us each morning in the yard. We were really impressed with the cleanliness of the house and all the extra amenities. My wife really enjoyed that the hosts provided both regular and decaf coffee. The biscotti was a nice touch as well. There is a wonderful Holiday Market that is very convenient to the house for all of the food and beverages that you might need. We also really appreciated the privacy of this place and the easy self check in. The beds were very comfortable and there were lots of extra towels. Laura was quick to respond to questions and even gave us helpful information about things to do and places to eat. Highly recommend!

Amazing, quiet retreat

It was super easy to get to this property from the freeway but once we got there we were amazed at how peaceful and quiet it was. The property was really private and secluded. Check in was really easy and our hosts were very friendly and helped us navigate the area. Laura was very responsive but also gave us privacy during our say. The house was immaculate and had everything we needed. We loved the game room. It was nice not to have to bring a high chair and there were even some toys for kids to play with. we loved how big the kitchen was and found everything we needed to cook dinners for our family. We wanted to bake cupcakes for our kids birthday and messaged the host asking if she had a cupcake tin we could borrow. She delivered a brand new one to our doorstep a few hours later. Laura really went above and beyond to accommodate us. the house was well stocked and the hosts provided a lot of extras you wouldn’t expect from a rental. It was nice to have shampoo when we forgot to bring ours. We truly enjoyed our stay and will definitely rebook if we’re back in the area.

About the host

Hosted by Laura Alvarado

Host profile image
Hi, I’m Laura. I’m an avid trail runner and lover of the outdoors! My husband, Dan, and I moved to Auburn to enjoy all “the endurance capital of the world” has to offer. So if you’re looking for adventure and want some recommendations for local activities, we’ve got you covered! We have endeavored to make our home feel like your home-away-from-home. Dan and I also have three children, so if you need something, please ask… we probably have it. We look forward to hosting you!

Why they chose this property

We’re nestled among the trees on a peaceful, private street that dead-ends at the lake. This Meadow Vista neighborhood enjoys the best of both worlds. Feel serenely tucked away while also enjoying proximity to all the essentials, like restaurants, a grocery store, and our favorite coffee shop, The Local Café, all within about a mile of our home. In addition, we’re just 10 minutes from downtown Auburn and 45 minutes from Boreal and Lake Tahoe.

What makes this property unique

Fire up the grill for an evening cookout on the private patio, then slip into the hot tub and soak under the stars!

Challenge your traveling companions to a rousing game of foosball, or go for the bullseye at the dartboard in this classic game room!

If you need to check in with the office while you’re away, set up your laptop at this dedicated work area.

Whether you’re catching up on the latest episodes of your favorite shows or picking a movie the entire family will love, our 55” flatscreen HDTV & Roku have you covered with Netflix, HBO, and Disney+.
