This was the location for our first outing. After trying others in Northern California we came back here. It is beautiful, relaxing with all the amenities we could want. Diane is a wonderful caring host. Couldn’t ask for more. We decided that this will be our “forever” retreat location ##### Lance B. Stayed 2 nights in May 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Nathalie C. 25 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy This lovely and amazing VRBO hosted by Diane, who went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable, made for a wonderful romantic getaway for two that we can easily see extending to a week's stay with the whole family. Diane has set the house up to be very generously appointed, with everything from martini glasses to a rice cooker, making it feel like a home away from home (with way more options for entertaining). The space is quiet, clean, and private, yet fun, with plenty to do both indoors and outdoors. We enjoyed relaxing in the hammocks, exploring nature, and sitting outside losing track of time. This retreat is perfect for anyone looking for a serene escape with a touch of adventure! We first stayed for a romantic getaway for two but will definitely be bringing our kids back one day because it's going to be just as nice when they are with us. ##### Nathalie C.

The host was wonderful throughout our stay, making sure we had everything we needed. We did, and even what we didn't know we needed she had! There is a hot tub in the trees, and if you don't want to be outside in the hot tub, the bathroom has a spa tub that looks out to the trees as if you were in a tree house. There are so many things to do here, badminton, ping pong, hammock, hiking, and the list goes on. The home felt like a log cabin, and was decorated so you can throw off your shoes and stay awhile. Such a peaceful location for a get-away. I highly recommend staying here. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/d3de6387-1db1-40e9-ac89-7ddd978e365e-1749423166726.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/186322f7-f145-4d76-b183-a379a0ae7fe2-1749423233291.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Chris E.

She contacted me soon after booking and let me know what to expect until check-in time. It is clear that she has been doing this for a long time.Upon arrival, she greeted us and showed us around. All the fire pits were nicely prepped and easy to start. Our daughters loved the games and toys she had. It was a perfect getaway for kids of all ages. She even had a VCR with Disney movies! Each night we watched a different movie, and it was a nice throwback.The only thing that could have made it any better was if there had been snow outside. ##### Van P.

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. ##### Stephanie M.

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. ##### Amy B.

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. ##### Betty and Dave P.

Stayed 4 nights in May 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Dru S. 8 Mar 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### 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). ##### Dru S.
