Dean's Garage: Car-Shop Themed Luxury Small Home, Central Auburn

**20% off for 7+ night stays during our winter months**

Welcome to our car-shop themed small home offering high style, high tech, and plush comfort. Newly built, freshly furnished, and stylishly decorated; with an open concept living-dining area and a dedicated work station. Lounge on our inviting, deep couch in front of a 75” smart tv + free wifi; or make a meal in our fully equipped kitchen that offers a cocktail making kit and an assortment of coffee/tea pods. We are a short walk from Old Town Auburn, yet only minutes from our beloved outdoors.

Dean's Garage is a detached building that shares the property with the owner's house. Ideal for one or two guests. It has its own gated space with a level concrete patio covered by a shade sail and cozy string lights; and steps up to a landscaped petite side yard. The house is 540 sq ft, with a separate one bedroom, one bathroom (walk-in shower, Toto washlet, towel warmer), stacked laundry and a full linen closet. This little house has 7 windows, each with light blocking shades or curtains. Our theme follows Dean’s lifetime love of all things vroom and braap, and we had fun decorating: foraged and hand assembled a lot of our own wall art and some things we found on Etsy. We hope you enjoy!

Perfect spot in Auburn

We were happy and comfortable in this very well equipped cottage that is walking distance to old town Auburn! Especially loved the high end finishes, easy cooking and modern bathroom. The owners clearly put thought and pride into creating an exceptional experience for their guests!

Exactly what we needed.

Stayed to visit family in the area. Very easy access to area roads, groceries, fuel, restaurants. The "theme" for the rental was an extra bonus because my spouse rebuilds cars - so we enjoyed that as well. It was the perfect place.

Wonderful Cottage

This cottage is clean, beautifully decorated, and has everything we needed for cooking. There is a sweet, private patio area where we sat and had a glass of wine. Although we didn’t need it, the hosts supplied personal care products. We did enjoy the coffee provided! We hope to rent this home when we return to the area next year.

Wonderful hideaway centrally located

Traveling alone, I was cautious about safety. This sits in a lovely residential area just steps across the Maple Street Bridge and old town Auburn. Great location. And the unit was marvelous, immaculate, and great attention to every detail. It’s clear the owners are proud of the quality. The entire unit was very elegant, comfy and cozy. Lovely little patio, always well lit each night as I returned from visiting with friends and family. Highly recommend. I’m coming back for sure!

In a time where everyone takes things away, this place offers more

2nd stay. Our new "home away from home" super peaceful and comfortable. Owners are very thoughtful with the little pluses, like that comforter, Qtips, tylenol, cocktail on the house. The details make it perfect. Will be back! (hubbys said if I give to good a review he is worried it won't be available for our next trip😆 )

Lovely stay in Auburn

My husband and I stayed here for 5 nights to visit friends in town and so he could run the CIM. The house had everything we needed to feel comfortable and at home. So many thoughtful, quality touches: kitchen with nice appliances and cookware, large comfy couch, the most comfortable bed I've ever slept on, many pillow options, clean modern bathroom with eco toiletries, even a large umbrella for the 1 rainy day. We walked to downtown easily within 10 minutes and the neighborhood was quiet for good sleeping. Very easy to communicate with hosts as well. We highly recommend this home and plan to return in the future.

A great place to stay!

Our first impression was WOW! It was better than the pictures. Everything in this place is like new, and high end. The living space is well thought out, roomy, comfortable and efficient. And nicely decorated. They provide everything you might need. The bed is great, the bathroom and shower too . Even the outside patio area is nicely landscaped, cozy, and private. The hosts are great! They messaged me a few days in to see if we needed anything. (We didn't) After we left, we realized I had left my ROKU attached to their tv. They kindly shipped it back to me, and wouldn't let me reimburse them. I told my wife several times, if I ever needed to build a small home, I would copy this one! We'll definitely stay here again when visiting Auburn!
