Make Memories in Your Very Own Private Resort Getaway

Paradise found! This beautiful 6 bedroom, 2.5 large bath “Will Block” designed & built estate is an absolute dream home with end of the road privacy. It is also gated to keep the paparazzi out!

In the Lake of the Pines area of Auburn, this secluded property is nestled in the beautiful rolling Sierra foothills of Northern California . Situated towards the back of 11 acres, near (but separate and outside of) Lake of the Pines gated community, roaming wildlife is abundant as you will regularly see wild turkey and mule deer traveling through the front and back yards. The property is in lovely, Nevada County, bordering Auburn & Grass Valley alike; located off of the Hwy 49 corridor between Sacramento and the Lake Tahoe area.

An open, flowing floor plan of more than 2800 square feet, this magnificent residence has vaulted ceilings with crown molding and is window laden to keep things bright and cheerful; A single level resort with large hallways and easy access to each room.

The backyard draws you in for fun and relaxation with its lagoon style pool and adjacent 2 separate hot tubs. (New bookings after March 15, 2021 will qualify for a **heated pool, allowing for use during cold and cooler months) Hidden with a unique rock grotto cave, the inside hot tub provides a separate entrance showcasing a custom 100+ year old redwood door; the other is an outdoor hot tub alongside the pool with optional heated waterfall. In combination with the attached rock grotto themed waterslide and swim through waterfall, suddenly your stay turns into an adventure. Enjoy the waterfalls and custom hand formed slide with your family and friends, enriching your perfect found hideaway experience. A new large open patio is great for gathering and relaxing.

The master suite has private backyard access for that moonlit romantic midnight swim with your honey. With an attached bathroom, the suite includes a sunken bathtub for relaxing quiet time. Hardwood floors combined with new cozy carpet is perfect for all season year round enjoyment. Each bedroom is presented with the finest upscale linens, comfortable beds and many are equipped with its own WIFI capable television for your enjoyment.

The large open living room and main entertaining area provides a large smart television allowing enhanced viewing of any sporting event or exciting action movie you desire. Two of the large televisions are equipped with an extensive satellite viewing package, excellent options for sports fanatics. At the touch of a dial, during the cooler season, a glass pane fireplace adds to the atmosphere ambiance, allowing you to cozy up during the colder winter months or bring sparkle while you entertain.

The laundry is conveniently located centrally in the home for easy access to all guests. Park your vehicles in the front and race them to your private backyard for your own slice of heaven, in this one of a kind natural foothill setting.

A great location for gatherings such as bridal showers, baby showers, birthdays, nuptials, anniversaries, girls/guys retreat, reunions or just a relaxing weekend getaway with those you enjoy spending time with...

Upon arriving, the main private road that connects to the property is partially paved with some parts graveled in between. The private driveway from the gate to the rental is entirely paved. Plenty of safe and secure parking space is available for an event covering all included guests. The property entry gate is coded with your very own private access code which provides a sense of extra safety for those apprehensive of new places.

Come enjoy the good life with your family and friends!!

Great Golf Getaway
The property was beautiful. Everything yoiu would need was provided. It was off the beaten path so very quiet and woodsy. Our group of 9 were high school buddies (50 years ago) having our yearly golf trip. Several golf courses within 15 min and after a round of golf in the warm weather, the pool was a life safer. Everyone staying there said the accomodations were beyond their expectations.

Awful Service and Inaccurate Listing, but Nice Property
- Our landlord was VERY inconsiderate, making us wait at the gate in the rain for 20-30 minutes, despite knowing we were there. I had initially submitted a waiver for 12 people but needed to update it for 8 after some people had to drop out. She demanded a resubmission with the exact count before letting us in. In a rush, I altered the document in the car, only for her to then insist on a handwritten signature instead of a digital one. Scrambling to find a pen and redo the document added to the frustration. - She was ridiculously stingy about the hot tub usage. Both days, we were shorted on time. The first day, she claimed it was heated, but it was cold after an hour. Only after another complaint did she start it again, yet counted the unusable time against us, leaving us just 2 hours of heat. The next day, cold water started shooting into the tub after 2 hours, and by the time she fixed it, we had moved on. - The property listing falsely advertised a heated pool, which was, in fact, unheated. - The front door lock was broken, and her property manager couldn't fix it, forcing us to use the back entrance. - Also, one of the "bedrooms" is actually a bed inside a walk in closet. Very creepy/weird setup

Wonderful property for your family and friends to relax together
Stayed over for one night with friends and family. All our guests loved the large space to connect. The little ones loved the space to run around as well. There was a basketball hoop, bowling ball + pins, and tetherball for the kids to enjoy. The large living room was perfect for everyone to come together after the day was over!

The communication was really good. We had plenty of space for all of us to stay. The hot tub provided so much relaxation and despite the weather we could utilize the internal one due to the grotto. There were a few little things we might suggest, but overall the home, privacy, communication etc. we are all amazing.

Great property, too many restrictions to enjoy it
As for the property itself, there’s nothing to really complain about. It’s fantastic. However, the rules which limit use of the hot tubs to only one hot tub in a three hour block (of your choosing) per day meant it couldn’t be enjoyed at numerous times we would have liked. Additionally, requiring us to pay for my parents as registered guests just so they could stop by for an hour was draconian and over the top. So like the review is titled, it’s an amazing property that unfortunately can’t be fully enjoyed due to the rules. If you don’t plan on anyone stopping by, or you are ok with limiting your use of the hot tub to one hot tub for a 3 hour block per day, then you’ll probably be happy staying here.

Beautiful Property
We were a group of 11 senior women and we had an amazing time. The house and surroundings are relaxing and peaceful. I will note for the senior age persons there are no ADA modifications in restrooms and the pool however there is a way to enter the home with no stairs. Its hard to tell in the photos but there are 2 bedrooms and full hall bath on one side of the house, master with bath and 1 bedroom with hall 1/2 bath on the other and 1 bedroom at the entry. Perfect for large groups. Laralyn was a wonderful host she always responded to me within 15 minutes and resolved any issues (which were minor) quickly. Being a first time vacation rental person she patiently answered all my questions. I recommend this vacation home. Oh and they provide alot of amenities which is extremely appreciated.

We loved our stay, but...
We stayed four nights for a three-generation family vacation in July. It would be spacious for a group of 10-12, or cozy but possible for up to 16. Four rooms have queen/king beds. Kids can also sleep on a double bed in the master closet, 3 twins and a double in the bunk room, or the sectional sofas and a pullout twin in the living room. The property is secluded and very quiet. There is a two-story building at the front of the property that houses a "caretaker". That upstairs window can look into the front yard of this home. This looked intrusive at first. However, once we entered the house we never used the front yard at all, so it didn't matter. There is one drawback that we considered serious: All communication is done via text with the owner, who either turns on equipment remotely, or contacts the caretaker. This communication was extremely cumbersome because the owner was three time zones away and often had no cell service. We waited an hour to check in and lost 3+ hours of waterslide or hot tub use over our stay because the owner wasn't responding. If this system is revised, we'd gladly give the property 5 stars, but as is, our rating is 4 stars.

Family Auburn Get-a-Way
Excellent choice for a gathering of brothers & sisters ranging in ages from 73 to 82. Our big family of eight brothers & sisters have been holding annual get-togethers for the past 10+ years. This June 2023 experience was an excellent experience -- quiet, secluded and a single level floor plan which made it convenient for the older family members who have difficulty climbing stairs. The pool & hot tubs are added bonuses. A wise choice for our group. The description of a gated community may be a misnomer, but don't let it cloud your selection.

A lovely stay in Auburn!
Brought the ladies in our family to Auburn for a little retreat and relaxation. This home was EXACTLY what we needed! The home was well appointed- they had thought of everything to make our store enjoyable. The outdoor area was to die for! The pool and hot tub were amazing. It was so quiet there and we felt so far away from anything- even tho’ it’s only 5 minutes from town. The host, Laralyn, was so attentive to us and responded promptly anytime we needed her. A great place to stay for families, or a group trip. Lots of beds and bedrooms- and so quiet! An absolutely excellent place to stay! 😊

Great property, lots of details
We had 11 ladies (40 years old +) for a sober retreat celebration. We paid extra for everyone to have their own beds set up, which was worth it. We hired a local aesthetician to come for facials & we held yoga & a sound bath outdoors by the pool. We will be back! POSITIVES: House was immaculate, save for dirty oven that smoked when we used it & left over food in pantry from last guest Kitchen was extremely well stocked with everything you need to cook & clean Pool was clean & there was plenty of outdoor seating Bed were very comfortable Grounds were peaceful & neighbor noise was very minimal Host was very responsive to requests & questions via text BBQ grill was great & had a propane tank. Lots of towels & all toiletries in the shower LESS THAN IDEAL: Bring your own baggies, foil & Tupperware You have to text the owner when you want the hot tub(s) on - only one can be warm at a time, & also if you want the waterfall/water slide on. The hot tubs can only run 3 hours a day & the slide can only run one hour at a time. KNOW BEFORE YOU GO: the check in material states a $40/hr fee for running the pump beyond 3 hours a day. It felt a little like asking mom permission to use the facilities. The logic behind conserving power made sense, but for us, we found it unappealing. If you want propane tanks for outdoor heaters, it is $40 per tank. No fault of the property, but mosquitoes were abundant and hungry. The host provided bug spray. Owner comes daily & cameras

Wonderful group getaway
We were looking for a rental for a large group of family members attending a wedding near Grass Valley. There weren't too many options available, so we were delighted to find this property by looking a bit further out. It easily accommodated our group of 13, with lots of room to spread out, play games, watch a Warriors playoff game, or relax with a book on the porch by the firepit. The weather was cold and rainy much of our weekend, so we didn't spend much time in the pool, but really appreciated the hot tub every evening (after the kids had gone to bed). Host was very responsive to questions prior to and during our trip. House and property are absolutely beautiful, and close to grocery store to restock food.

Overall a great property with a few small hiccups
Overall this was a great place to spend our Christmas holiday with a large group. The open floorplan is excellent for a large group and is very inviting. Kitchen is well stocked for any cooking that needs to be done and all appliances were in good working order including the washer and dryer. There were some issues with the front gate but they were quickly addressed. The backyard pool area is simply amazing. Plenty of space to hang out with propane heaters for the chilly times. The pool is ridiculous with two hot tubs (one in a little indoor grotto) and a great water slide. Although it was December we paid to have the pool heated each day and it was worth it for the kiddos. I only have two significant issues with the property. First, most of the dishes were too dirty to use right out of the cabinet. I am not sure if it is a dishwasher issues or something else, but it was consistent throughout our stay when pulled a dish that we had not personally washed. Secondly, we were not aware that the rental only included three hours of hot tub heating a day and only one of the two hot tubs at a time. While I am not sure knowing that ahead of time would have caused us to look elsewhere, it would have been nice to know that up front. We were already spending quite a bit for a four day stay and they extra we spent to heat the pool and one of the hot tubs was a bit much. Additionally, you do not have direct control over when you can turn the tubs on and off but have to contact the property manager. Even with that issue, the property manager was quick to respond to any question or issue we had during the stay and the staff that provided support were also excellent. I definitely recommend this property to anyone with a large group. The backyard alone is draw that would keep us coming back.
