can't complain!
Nothing bad to say here, the location is amazingly secluded. One thing to note, you are very close to the owners property. I was nervous at first because to be honest we are recluses and the point of our vacation is getting away from people no matter how nice! We stayed a week and only ran into Diane once. She gave us total privacy which we truly appreciated and valued. Her pups were adorable and added something special to our trip. Nothing is more healing than the combination of dogs and forest. There's so much to do in the area and Diane seems very knowledgeable, I'd come back for sure.Thank you for your hospitality Diane, we are grateful for our time spent there.

Best owner yet
I came with my 2 teen nephews, my 2 teen children and my dog for a getaway together. I rent houses like this at least once a year for several years now. This is hands down the best experience I’ve had with the owner of a property (and they’ve all been positive). She is above and beyond great to communicate with and deal with. The house has everything you could possibly need/want. It’s extremely clean, has SO many games and things to do, kitchen is fully stocked, etc. It’s really even better than the pictures can show. We are dog people, and Piper, the owner’s dog and our dog were friends immediately and we loved having her visit with us too. There is no area for improvement here. Best experience across the board. Beds are SO comfortable too!!! We will be coming back.

Great getaway
This mountain house is a great getaway for anyone who wants to enjoy the pines and/or escape from the hustle and bustle of normal daily life. Very gracious and helpful host. Comfortable beds, well stocked kitchen and bathrooms, lots of books, puzzles, and outdoor sports equipment, plus an outdoor spa and an indoor jacuzzi bathtub. Good hiking trails. About a 40 min drive to gold rush towns of Nevada City and Grass Valley and also to Donner Pass area. House located about 5-7 min drive off Hwy 80 in a secluded area with absolutely no traffic noise. A plus--if you like dogs--is friendly Piper who is always eager to be petted.

Good mountain getaway
Check-in: The property was easy to get to, clean, organized, and ready for our arrival with clear check-in instructions. Diane, the owner, lives on site (house next door) and was easy to reach/talk to. She even came over to give us a quick tour of the place and go over the house rules. Her dog was playful and friendly. House:The house had tall ceilings, adequate lighting, very nice wood stove fireplace (our fav feature), spacious downstairs master bedroom, and a small adjacent bedroom. Not a deal breaker for us by any means but the "master" bath was not ensuite but quite nice tho. The second bath was a half bath. We did not use it but there was a loft area with rather low and tapered ceiling with 2 queen beds set up with nightstand, and 1 queen mattress - good for a slumber party but not for elderly or tall folks. There were additional rollout beds too. This house can sleep a lot of people as long as they can manage with 1.5 bathroom. Stay: We (2 adults, one toddler and one dog), rented it for 3 nights in early March and had a good time relaxing at the house as well as exploring the area. There was a lot of outdoor space to explore with our toddler and throw frisbee for our dog. The outdoor fireplace next to the spa was just perfect to keep us warm. Location: It snowed lightly at that elevation and covered the area in snow dust - a beautiful scene to wake up to especially for a toddler's first snow. As for the area, there are hiking trails with different difficulty levels around the property. Snoparks are only 30-40min drive, Grass Valley only 30min, Truckee just about an hour or less. Check-out: There were hardly any checkout chores as compared to some some other rentals. The instructions were clear in the house rules binder. Overall, the most generously stocked house (number of beds, supplies, amenities, entertainment activities) we have rented so far (since 2013).

Relaxing Stay during our wildfire evacuation.
We were lucky enough that someone cancelled for Labor Day weekend and were able to snag this perfect getaway during a very stressful time, the Caldor Fire. We were evacuated from South Lake Tahoe, Diane called me early in the morning to confirm our booking and let us check in immediately; even giving us the first day gratis. We relaxed while we waited to see if our town was burning down. It didnt! Amazing work by the firefighters and support saving every home in the Lake Tahoe Basin. Thanks again to Diane for welcoming us to her property. Oh, and dont forget the spunky friendly PiperDog! Who greeted us like we were family. Cheers!

Perfect in every way
We were so overdue for a vacation, and Diane’s place was just the perfect place to unwind for a few days and enjoy a Californian summer vacation. The location is great, easy to get to yet far from traffic, totally quiet and beautifully situated in the woods. Hiking trails right outside the gate, and many more a short drive away, great swimming in the river (as part of a hike) or in nearby Rollins lake. The house had all we could hope for: after hiking/swimming we read/snoozed in hammocks under the trees, cooked meals using the grill and well-equipped kitchen, plaid ping pong and other games, watched old movies on vhs and soaked in the hot tub under the stars. Will definitely come again!

We had an excellent time! Between the ping pong table, games, hot tub, and Piper we really didn't need to even leave the property. The sunrise hike is so beautiful. The hike to the American River was tempting but not all of our group could do it so we passed. Everything was provided just as the amenities list. Mosquitoes were only out in the evenings and not bad this time of year (July). We seen 3 deer during our stay too! Definitely recommend to those who love the country. Diane, thank you!
