Wonderful stay on this beautiful lake. Although we only live 3 hours away, we had never heard of Lake of the Pines and were so pleasantly surprised to find it. Kids enjoyed swimming as the lake is nice and warm. Lots of trips on the paddle boat and canoe. Even caught one huge bass on the last day. The house is clean, spacious, and beautiful as well as the property surrounding it. Plenty of room for our large party to spread out and enjoy even though we had all bedrooms full and more kids sleeping on the floor in the living room downstairs. And the pool at the rec center just minutes away was an added bonus, also nice and warm and surrounded by the beautiful lake views. Thank you so much for a great stay!Recommended for: Tourists without a car, girls getaway, families with young children, adventure seekers, romantic getaway, families with teenagers.
Owner response: Thank you very much Michelle for your kind thoughts and great comments. It has something for everyone- friendly fish willing to be caught by kids are a plus!... and we love it there, too. Diane

we spent the weekend in October at Tranquility Cove and it was much better than going to any spa or therapy session! Cheaper too! From the moment we drove up to the house, we were overcome by a sense of peace and were welcomed by a group of deer eating peacefully in the yard. The home is well appointed, excellent views and very comfortable. Nearby vineyards made the trip. This home is great for reunions, get aways for thte girls, second honeymoons or for self renewal. Believe me you WILL be back to this little piece of heavenRecommended for: Sightseeing, girls getaway, families with young children, adventure seekers, romantic getaway, age 55+, families with teenagers.

With trying to plan a get away for a close group of girlfriends we came across this property. What a great find! For the 7 of us it was perfect! The kitchen was well stocked for the breakfast & dinners we prepared there. The view of the lake is beautiful from many locations on the property. It was perfect for our outings to the many towns nearby for shopping & sightseeing each day during our stay. John & Diane ~ you have a wonderful place @ Tranquility Cove!Recommended for: Sightseeing, girls getaway, adventure seekers, romantic getaway, age 55+, families with teenagers.

As a family of fifteen, aging from 4 to 71 we found this a great vacation spot.The children caught plenty of small fish off the dock. The older ones found larger ones in the lake .A beautiful home with all the ameneties,including cable and wi-fi. The kids enjoyed the paddle boat and canoe and the adults appreciated the refrigerator on the dock.There were plenty of places to relax and just and take in the view. I would highly recommend this as a fun place. It was well l maintained and clean.Recommended for: Tourists without a car, girls getaway, families with young children, romantic getaway, age 55+, families with teenagers.

With 3 refrigerators, 2 stoves, plus a nice Weber gas grill, what more could a large family gathering ask for? Plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms, great open space on main floor, lots of counter space in the kitchens (yes, there are two of them), large decks with plenty of seating, nice dock area with more seating, nice lake, canoe and paddle boat, wireless internet that works great even outside ... I could go on, but you get the idea! The owners were great also - Diane was just a phone call or email away for any questions leading up to and during our visit. Thanks for the great stay!Recommended for: Families with young children, families with teenagers.

A group of nine came to play Darkhorse, one of the ten best golf courses in California. There is one course in the gated development but Darkhorse is actually cheaper and a very beautiful course just a few miles away. The house is very nice with several rooms for people to gather, a huge deck and a nice dock area. We took the canoe out and decided this house was in the best location on the lake - very serene, quiet and seems private. One day it rained and we started the fireplace which made our afternoon of games and conversation very cozy. We slept in the master bedroom and loved waking up to a wall of windows looking at the lake. The house has some unique river rock showers which are beautiful. Our golf group goes somewhere every year but we all agreed we would love to come back here.Recommended for: Sightseeing, tourists without a car, girls getaway, families with young children, pet owners, adventure seekers, romantic getaway, age 55+, families with teenagers.
Owner response: Thanks for sharing the fun you folks had! We loved having you and glad we could help you make some more great memories with your friends. I love the sounds in the morning as well. Feel free to make plans for next year and give me a shout! -Diane

We had a group of ten women that gathered for a conference and stayed in this lakefront home. We all enjoyed the beautiful view of the lake and the large, open great room with the fireplace. A couple of us took a jog around the lake and were greeted by friendly visitors and residents. We also saw many deer roaming the grounds. We would definately reccommend this home to others. It's perfect for large groups.Recommended for: Sightseeing, girls getaway, families with young children, age 55+, families with teenagers.

Tranquility Cove was a wonderful place for our cousin retreat. The home is perfectly situated on the lake, it is beautiful! Although we were faced with quite a storm we still had a great time around the awesome stone fireplace and ended up cooking in a lot, it actually was fun. We would have liked to gone on the lake but due to the storm I guess we will have to save that for next time...:-).Recommended for: Girls getaway, families with young children, families with teenagers.

My family and I so enjoyed our time at Tranquility Cove! The home was beautiful, comfortable, well-maintained, and just made you feel like you were truly on vacation. The views from the deck and patio were stunning. Our 13-yr old, who uses a manual wheelchair, was able to access the house comfortably, and was even able to go down to the lower patio and deck. We all had a great time relaxing on the deck or patio, playing on the lake with the canoe and paddle boat, going for early morning jogs and afternoon golf outings, and wrapping up the evenings with dinner cooked on the outdoor grill. Just a magical place!Recommended for: Sightseeing, people with disabilities, girls getaway, families with young children, romantic getaway, age 55+, families with teenagers.

This home is so wonderfully relaxing and peaceful. Waking up each morning to the lake with the ducks and the wildlife was amazing. It has a perfect set up for a large family, small group our couple get away. It was great having a large, well stocked kitchen, and an amazing outdoor deck to enjoy each meal from. The living room with the fireplace was perfect for relaxing in the evening with family. We loved the neighborhood and several of us took many jogs and bike rides each morning enjoying the beautiful lake view. There was great golf near by, as well as shopping, starbucks and restaurants to enjoy, yet it felt like hundreds of miles away which is what makes this location perfect for any vacation. The deck and dock area with the paddle boat, canoe and chairs on the deck was used all day soaking up the sun and wonderful view. I also personally enjoyed the master bathroom jacuzzi tub with the beautiful lake view. Soaking in that and relaxing in the evening was perfect. We can't wait to go back and enjoy another relaxing and peaceful time at this amazing home!! Thank you John and Diane :)Recommended for: People with disabilities, girls getaway, families with young children, romantic getaway, families with teenagers.

About the owner: John & Diane live in Los Altos, CA where they raised their three boys. Diane grew up on a lake in Northern Michigan, John on a river front home in Northern Illinois. Both love the peace and relaxation of a lake setting.
Why the Owner Chose Auburn:
Lake of the Pines is one of the last private lake communities to be built in California. Diane & John chose this home because of it's quiet setting the lake's most beautiful cove, and the large lawn and decks for their family and others to gather.
The Unique Benefits at this House:
Great views, relaxing, tons of room and many places to gather for a family reunion or off-site meeting.
