This property is a casual, relaxed place with lots of beds and 3 baths.

This is the fifth year we have rented this house for our annual non profit business meeting and retreat. It has enough separate beds to accommodate 7 adults sleeping alone and twice that for couples. We're a dog breed rescue and always have a few to bring along. The back yard fencing has a wide opening which we close by using exercise pens and bungee cords. The kitchen is big enough for 2-3 cooks not to bump into each other. The appliances were all in working order. The owner was easy to work with and wants to provide a satisfactory customer service experience. If you're not looking for fancy, this place may suit you! We always enjoy the nearby "Monte Vista Inn" for Saturday dinner. Always delicious. We're planning on coming back again in 2017 due to this place meeting our needs.

No thank you

We had good experience. We stayed on one side of home that was very large and nice. The main room was gigantic and had many places to sit or lay down to sleep. The only problem was we needed more light at night in main room. There were 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms on our side. The master bedroom and bath were great. There were multiple TV’s throughout house. A large TV in main room. The kitchen was large and well appointed. The other side (where we did not stay) had 2 bedrooms and 1 bath. We saw wasps in the 2 bedrooms and closed off that side of home. There was a great hot tub but we had no lighting out by hot tub at night. The water temperature was easy to heat to desired heat before going into tub, but we needed more light to go from house to tub at night. Very easy lock entrance. Owner was very gracious with our checking out time.

If you have a question, you can call me anytime. It looks like this tenant had several problems that were completely solvable if they had called. In order: The living room lights are on a dimmer switch. It’s very easy to turn up the light. If you don’t know how, just call. These tenants did not opt to pay for the additional rooms. The additional rooms were not prepped at all. Had we prepped them, we certainly would have found the wasps and removed them. There is a light switch for the lights out by the hot tub. There’s also a switch to turn on giant flood lights throughout the property. It lights up the entire backyard, front yard, and beyond. The point is, if you have a problem, just let me know. There might be an easy solution.

Beware: The property is not what is advertised

We chose this site for our 4 generation family reunion. VRBO web site states there is air conditioning. There was none; outside temperature was over 100. We found the house uninhabitable. We immediately called the owner who said if we followed his instructions (Use whole house fan at night and close windows daytime) the house would not be too hot. The nursery monitor registered 90 that night and flashed red for danger.* We complained again. Owner said he had a swamp cooler but if we used it too much we could run out of water. He agreed he would come at 7 p.m. to install it and 2 window air conditioners. He did not show up until 10 :45 p.m. He installed the cooler, but wanted to leave the window air conditioning units for us to install; We would not assume that responsibility. He said it would be 4 days before he could get them installed. The swamp cooler helped but was noisy and inadequate. We obtained portable air conditioners making the house livable. The house ran out of water. He advised us to divert water from another tank on the property. The water was murky and filled with sediment.* He said it was safe to drink. None of us did. Web site shows swimming pool. There is none. The pool he offers is a public pool 1.5 miles away. The internet and phone reception is unstable. He let us use his landline for outgoing calls. One of bedrooms has no windows for ventilation: only doorways to hall and bathroom. The patio is not level nor safe. There is a 1 1/8’ sudden rise.* There is also an unsafe 2” rise in a hallway*. We paid $100 for hot tub use, but water was low, cold and dirty.* We did not use it and requested a refund but none has been given. He had me pay him directly rather than to VRBO for additional people and days. (He said VRBO is paid for the booking and does not care about changes.) I paid requesting a written invoice which he never sent. VRBO responded to us when we weren't getting help from the owner. They offered to immediately put us up in a hotel and try to find another booking, but could not cover the additional 10 people for whom I paid to the owner. If you want VRBO protection, then the entire booking must be done with them. Be careful renting this place: Get everything in writing. * We have photos to verify.

Disliked: Cleanliness

nice but disgusting

Nice and spacious and can house many people as listed. The amenities were working as listed. There was enough space in front for all the cars (our group had 7 cars) to park comfortably. They had a nice big TV and entertainment to use in the living room. The backyard is a nice place to hang out with people because it was large. However, we found an active wasp nest which was right next to the kitchen's back door. One of the kids on our trip got stung twice by wasps in the backyard. The entire cabin was really dirty and filled with cobwebs and bugs, both dead and alive, in most corners of the property. When we arrived, the house smelled incredibly dusty especially in the rooms with skylights. The dust also makes it hard to sleep. We wiped the kitchen counter and it was still dirty. Sleeping can be uncomfortable, if you take a room close to the AC unit as it is very loud. The house has a few architectural faults; There are unfinished interior finishes scattered around the house i.e. doors that lack a trim which exposes the studs and insulation, the small bar area being unfinished. Another major problem was the fact that most windows do not open. This was a big problem because passive cooling was the main form of climate control for the house however was denied from us. We also had an electrical issue in the Kitchen. The circuit for the Refrigerator, Microwave, a new AC Unit (which was nice), and Stove popped a couple of times. The first time we had a rice cooker also plugged into the same circuit, but we moved that to a different working outlet and the circuit still popped. Overall it was a nice location to spend vacation for large groups, just bring your own sheets and swifter dusters.

Real easy to get a hold of Mike! Gave us all the info we needed prior to arriving. Water comes from a well, so at times water may be yellow, due to minerals, don’t be alarmed. Lots of room for kids to run around inside and out back!

Great property for events and gatherings

Overall we were pretty happy with the property. A ton of space and bedrooms available. It was as advertised on the listing. There were a few things broken like the blown out speakers and water heating issues, but Mike was quick to try and fix those issues and work it out. Would love to book this spot again once the issues have been fixed.

PURE AWESOMENESS!

The house was exactly what we needed as it housed 15 of us with room to spare. Everyone had their own space. Everyone agreed the place was more beautiful then the pictures display. Kitchen has recently been upgraded and was perfect. Mike the owner was very easy to work with and accommodated us very well. I will be back! Thank you Mike - It truly was a great week in NoCal thanks to your house.

Costly but spacious

Booking was kind of confusing, even though there was a $ amount refundable deposit, it was not the case. We got an extra day with that money instead. Very spacious and lots of beds. Minor issues like, only 3 burners worked for the cooktop; no toaster; not enough cooking vessels or containers. The house is very secluded so we could party till midnight. We loved the stay.

Response from VrboOwner on 29 July 2023
We always appreciate feedback, even if it's not entirely positive. All I ask is that you try to make sure your comments are accurate. In this case, the tenant clearly forgot that they requested additional amenities, and authorized the deposit to be paid towards them. There is a refundable deposit that is refunded as long as you do not apply that money towards something else. There is actually a toaster and a separate toaster oven. I'm not sure how the tenants missed that. I did notice that they had not opened the brand new box of pots and pans and utensils that were left for them. It's nice when tenants call to ask if they find anything lacking. I usually have a solution, but I can't fix a problem if you don't tell me it exists. As for the stove burner malfunctioning, I have no answer for that. When I returned to the house all the burners were working fine. All I can think is that they didn't know the stove had a cycling feature that keeps the over powered burner at the right temperature. To this day, all the burners are still working. I've never been able to duplicate the problem. Again, we're happy to hear your comments, positive and negative. But if you're going to leave statements about problems on a public reviews, please at least give me the opportunity to deal with the problems before claiming that I had not dealt with them. Thanks, Mike

Awesome Secluded House!

I stayed here during June 2015 with about 15 other friends. The house was absolutely perfect for us! It had plenty of room, was nice and secluded (which for us was necessary because we got a bit roudy!), and had a beautiful outdoor area. I highly recommend this house to anyone with a big group! I also want to thank Michael for being so friendly and accommodating! Overall a great experience!

Dutch Flat - Great site for Extended Family Reunion

We just completed a wonderful summer Family Reunion vacation at Hundred Acre Wood in Dutch Flat. Kudos to Mike for putting together a wonderful, beautiful, functional and enjoyable property for us to stay at. DUTCH FLAT The property is in the woods, well removed from other homes and people. There is a rail line close by the property. You could hear trains frequently during the day. This was not an issue for my group. Dutch Flat is roughly halfway between Sacramento and Truckee. The home is very easy to find. and access to I-80 is less than 5 minutes away. Truckee, Squaw Valley and Lake Tahoe are 45-75 minutes away (depending on traffic). Colfax is 15 minutes "down hill" with a reasonable market and a number of fast food dining options. We found little to see in Dutch Flat itself, but probably did not give it a fair amount of exploration. Colfax had more to see. Auburn (15 miles past Colfax) has even more options. Bear River Campground is along the Bear River, outside of town. This was our place to try gold panning. (Day use area, with parking, just past the Campground). No, we didn't find any nuggets, but the river location itself is very scenic, quiet and peaceful. Go to Mountain Man Mining in downtown Colfax for panning eqpt. and directions. HUNDREAD ACRE WOOD Five different family groups came together at Dutch Flat, Ages 8 to 80+. And, a great time was had by all. Great sleeping arrangements. Just about every bed had a pullout trundle bed mattress for extra sleeping room. And the living room couches all easily converted to futon mattresses. Kitchen arrangements were excellent. Comfortable for two cooks to operate in at a time. Well stocked. We used the BBQ several times. The Hot Tub was also used several times, and just sitting outside on a warm summer evening was very nice. It is obvious that Mike is investing time, money and energy to make Dutch Flat into a wonderful extended family or group retreat. We know from experience that this is hard work. Mike gets it, and we are happy to give him, and Dutch Flat our strongest possible recommendation. We look forward to planning next year's family reunion. Dutch Flat, and Hundred Acre Wood, we hope to see you again in Summer 2015! ...Tim

Great property with abundant room for 12 adults and 10 kids. The kids enjoyed biking around the driveway, the rope swing, hiking around the property. Very relaxing, and Mike was friendly and easy to work with. Highly recommended.

Great Location

Everything was great! Mike was really helpful and always easy to get in contact with. Booking was super easy. The property was well maintained and clean upon arrival. It was pretty easy to get to and was really close to freeway access. There were other places within 15min to go to. We went to our normal snow spot at Squaw Valley which was an hour away but it was no problem driving there. There were other places for snow play closer, we just choose to go to Squaw. I would definitely recommend this place to family and friends.

Huge house with a lot of room!

We have stayed here twice now and absolutely love it! We do an annual snowboard trip with about 15 people and this house is perfect. Beds for everyone and lots of space. Backyard is huge and fun to go exploring in. Very secluded area but is not far from the main road. Really easy to get on and off the highway. Right off the exit there is a gas station and a pretty well stocked convenience store. We did most of our main shopping in Auburn which isn't far. Enough parking for our 5 SUVs in the driveway. Kitchen is big enough for multiple people to cook and there is also a built in BBQ in the back. Can't find a single thing we don't like about this place! And the owner Mike is a super cool guy! Thanks again Mike! From the Hawaiians haha

Serenity

Wonderful place to bring friends and family. Lots to do nearby (lake-boating, water skiing, picnic area; mountains-skiing, sledding, playing in the snow). The hot tub was relaxing and peaceful. Wonderful to disconnect from everything. Beautiful views of the trees, nature, plant life and animals. Awesome place to take pictures, take a scenic hike and unwind. Lots of able space, great hospitality, linens, cookware, wi-fi provided. Tree swing for the kids and room to explore. Multiple fireplaces for ambiance and relaxation. All you need to do is bring food, movies, games and people for a great weekend.

A great place to relax

A nice, semi-secluded area where people can come up to kick back and relax. A nice layout with a large common area where people can just hang out and a large outdoor area as well. Nice for both summer and winter as it is at a high enough elevation to combat hot summers and not past the area where chains are a concern. For winters, there are also multiple fireplaces to keep everyone feeling comfortable. All in all a great place for people who just want to have an extended, laid back party.

Great Retreat Location for People and Pets

Volunteers for our non profit dog rescue (Shetland Sheepdogs) spent an enjoyable three day weekend with our well behaved Shelties for our annual meeting. The property is indeed private. The house had enough beds so no one had to share except for the one married couple. The furnishings were unpretentious and practical. The futons in the living room were hard to sit on due to the seats being very deep but we raided the cupboards for extra pillows to make the furniture more comfortable to sit on. We brought sheets to cover the furniture with and exercise pens to secure the back area so the the dogs could go outside off leash. The kitchen was stocked with basics and was large enough to accommodate 2-3 cooks at a time. We had both a productive two day meeting and had fun too. We plan on coming back next year!
