This beautiful country home has been recently renovated. It is located at the end of a 0.7 mile private road, on a 10 acre farm, with amazing views of the valley, hills, city, & breathtaking sunset right from the living room/ kitchen. This quaint country home is located on the Placer county wine trail, near breweries, 2 miles to Hidden Falls, and close to many of Californiaâs best hiking trails. Just 15 minutes to downtown/ old town Auburn for a day on the town. Will be furnished for your stay.
The place was nice, clean, and comfortable. We were out and about a lot, but the time we did relax was really enjoyable and the view is amazing. The drive up the hill to get to the property was an experience, but overall we'll definitely stay here again when we return to visit.
Location was great. Outside of place was dirty, dog poop in parking area, filthy front glass doors, windows and tracks dirty with broken blinds, living room furniture old and uncomfortable, tables beat-up, small bedroom bunkbeds squeaky and ladder is terrible on feet, kitchen and main bed and bath were great, nicely decorated and comfortable. This place could look as advertised with little work and expense.
We chose this location due to our IL family having to come to Cali for grandmas funeral/celebration of life. There were 2 moms and between us there were 5 kids aging from 23-16. We loved this property! It saved us alot of money on food because we could cook for ourselves and the kitchen was clean and spacious and we all were able to eat at the table together. The kids loved the animals! We live in il so we are not what you would conside city people but some of the kids havent been that close to cows or pigs. They also loved the horses and chickens as well. It was a quite area. We would chose this location again if we ever came back to the area.
Left us without water, then accused of extortion for asking for discount
*Assuming your water isnât shut off: Cool, well stocked house. Beds cozy enough. Host was very accommodating initially with special requests (significantly early check in to drop off vehicles/luggage) that made our lives easier. Property is beautiful and itâs fun to have the farm animals around, though it is pretty out of the way depending on how close you need to be to civilization.However, this review is 1 star due to how I was treated for an early checkout.Long story short, we ended up leaving in the afternoon of the 2nd day (out of 2) booked because the water kept shutting off and we couldnât shower/flush toilets, prep food, or wash clothes/dishes. People bought earlier flights.The host had mentioned they have water issues at times, due to overuse, because the property draws from a well. So I figured âdang I guess thatâs just how it is here.âI let the host know weâd left early, that the water had been sporadic, and that we appreciated their flexibility. She then admitted that sheâd accidentally drained the well, leaving us without water. Basically âwhoops. Sucks that happened.âDue to the fact that we wouldâve stayed had she not drained the well, I asked for a discount. What followed was a cross examination, accusations of extortion, and belittling comments about how I donât know how wells work. I wouldnât have asked if not for the fact that they drained the well accidentally.Photos of chat below. Maybe Iâm in the wrong, but you can decide for yourself.
Heather is the best! The farmhouse is so lovely! It is neat, clean, updated, and super welcoming! The beds are very comfortable and the animals are sweet and friendly! We loved the country atmosphere and the views are to die for! Thank you, Heather, for making our stay in Auburn extra special!!!
I am an ER RN, who has made traveling a top priority to rest and recover from everyday life. Our family has used VRBO for years. We always prefer renting our own private space vs a hotel room. We moved to the country a few years ago and realized how relaxing, private, and peaceful country life can be. We decided to share this with other travelers, as our place is truly a little piece of heaven on the hill.
Our property provides a tucked away quiet retreat, yet still close enough to run into town. Our place has been said to have âthe best views in Auburnâ. You can see the Sacramento Valley skyline, which lights up beautifully at night. Every sunset provides for a photographers dream! Sit on the patio, enjoy your morning coffee, while watching the sunrise, or enjoy a glass of local wine while watching our amazing sunsets. We have a small family farm with lots of friendly animals that will at times provide entertainment while they play out in the pasture. We are surrounded by several quaint breweries. About a 15 minute scenic drive will land you in downtown or old town Auburn, which is really fun to explore. We are 2.5 miles from hidden falls, just make sure you make a reservation to hike on the weekends, and not far from some of the best hiking trails in California. Also, if youâre feeling really adventurous check out the areas white water rafting. If youâre looking for a getaway in the country are place is for you!
We currently have 6 cows and 2 calfs. They can at times provide lots of entertainment while they play in the evening. Make sure to meet Charlotte and Wren, our 2 potbelly pigs, that roam the property. They will be your best friends if you share snacks. Star out mini donkey also loves pets and fruits and veggies.
