About this property

Cozy Canyon Cottage: Come relax, hike, run, or walk 2 town 4 some amazing faire

Nestled just steps away from the American River Canyon as well as Old Town and Down town Auburn, this quaint cottage offers all you need to enjoy the abundance of options the area has to offer. Trail running, mountain biking, hiking, river rafting, award winning wineries and breweries, music, and if you choose, a glimpse into what started the movement west in 1852. GOLD!
The cottage has an open concept with a queen bed, a leather sectional, and a sleeping loft with a twin mattress. Well appointed kitchen with a full size refrigerator, large microwave, coffee maker, electric kettle, gas stove, counter top convection oven, blender and coffee grinder for the fresh beans.
There is a desk area if you need to get some work done and a great ductless A/C and gas fireplace if you want to enjoy a fire.
We are here to help with directions, instruction and suggestions. Great for kids, and we welcome well behaved pets upon approval.
The area around the cottage has mature boxwood bushes, an antique gate and some deer deter fencing. Is not totally secure to keep the pups in.

The neighborhood was very nice, but it was a little hard to find due to the construction nearby.The driveway was a little steep and a little snug to park in, but the house itself was lovely!Super clean and welcoming, we had a great time exploring the area and coming home to a cozy cottage! Hosts were super friendly and accommodating.

Welcome back anytime!! Yes, the darn construction over by the canyon has been a bear. They are putting in a round-a-bout and will hopefully be done soon!

We came to stay in order to go to a volleyball tournament in Sacramento. The house was so cozy and very sweet. The place was clean and so cute. We slept very good! The cottage will be a place that we could definitely come back to. Alexandra and her husband were very friendly and great hosts. They were easily accessible for a couple of things that we had questions about. Thank you so much for letting us stay! Would totally recommend this property!

We loved the cottage

This was our second stay at Alexandra's cottage and just as wonderful as the first. Although it's small, it has everything one can need, including a wonderful full-service kitchen. The bed was comfy and the couch a great place to chat or watch TV. We already have our next stay planned.

A great place to stay

Cozy Canyon Cottage was the perfect place to stay in Auburn. It was a happy medium between a 1-bedroom and a studio, and I’ve seldom seen such a well-stocked and equipped kitchen. Alex, the owner, lives right next door and was incredibly helpful
