This was such a charming, cozy, serene cottage. The sounds of nature waking in the morning with the adorable deer wandering close by - we just loved it and wanted to extend our stay. George and Bobbi-Bay Area 09/2026

We loved this spot. The kitchen has the stuff you need to cook, and the bed was very comfortable. *note that if you are tall, the bed is a little short, and you will feel giant in the home, but it’s still great!

Beautiful home and location.Unfortunately we could not use either patio due to the excessive amount of spider webs with spiders covering the front patio furniture and porch area. I had already had to a broom inside the home to clean all inner windows in the bedroom, bathroom edges, basically any corner or edge in the home. Then vacuum with an upright vacuum because there was no vacuum with a hose available.Otherwise, the home was amazing and clean, it also had great walking trails behind it and an amazing local restaurant nearby call the tin lantern.Would totally go back minus the spiders in every corner of the house hahahaha

Quiet neighborhood in great location

A very cozy and comfortable cabin surrounded by plenty of woods to make it private. Very close to Auburn, convenient to I-80 and SH49. We hiked the trail, gazed at the stars, and woke up to deer in the yard. An absolutely wonderful stay.
