From the start Bob and Jeanne were welcoming and accommodating. After a long drive we were arriving in the evening and the cottage was ready for us and Bob gave us a tour. Towards the end of our stay my wife took sick and we were able to extend our stay a night without any hassle (luckily there wasn't a guest following right after too). The cottage itself is just as the pictures show. Built with great materials, equipped with everything you'd need and comfortable so that we were able to just relax. Exactly what we were looking for. We used the hot tub and bar-b-que on the main level one night, which was very convenient. The washer & dryer in the unit was also fabulous and we made good use of it. We made some short trips around Auburn to visit the small historic downtown area and caught a weekly farmer's market, sampled at one of the local wineries and did some hiking down on the North Fork of the American river. We had a very tasty New Year's dinner at Monkey Cat in Auburn as well. To top it off their lovely daughter took our 3 y.o. daughter (and us) to pet their pigs and chickens several times during our stay which was probably the highlight of her (our) stay. We definitely plan to return, perhaps in the summer to try out the beautiful pool.

My holiday staying here as a guest of Bob and Jeanne was wonderful. I loved this place so much! The description is 100%, the location is a perfect get away from the hustle and bustle that is so easily accessible if you want it. I wanted a place to stay with peace, quiet and a swim every morning, and that's what I got with so much more! The Pool House is stunning, the design, layout and fittings are superb, so much better than staying in a hotel - AND - you get to see the dogs, pigs, chickens, wild turkeys and humming birds too. Bob and Jeanne made me very comfortble, the house has all the equipment that you need for a lovely holiday, the pool and amenities are beautifully crafted and exceptionally well cared for. My family and friends were made very welcome when they visited, and we all enjoyed the pool, hot tub and table tennis. If you have any questions Bob is only too happy to help. I would highly recommend this property to anyone visiting the area, if I could keep it a secret and for myself then I would but that would be a real shame - go and see for yourself. Thanks to Bob, Jeanne, the children and the animals - I had a wonderful holiday.

Our family feels fortunate to have discovered The Cottage Pool House and have enjoyed two separate weekends there over the summer. Bob and Jeanne are gracious and generous hosts, and they have thought of every detail to make the stay luxurious and relaxing! Our kids had a great time swimming, visiting the chickens and pigs, and playing ping-pong and volleyball. My husband and I enjoyed relaxing in the sun with a glass of local wine and evening soaks in the spa gazing at the stars. We are already planning our next stay -highly recommended!

My daughter and I stayed here back in June. Robert and Jeanne were just absolutely wonderful hosts and made us feel very welcome! Their children were very great as well, seeing that my little one had as much fun as possible with the animals and gardens! We also bbq'd with the family on our last night there and sure did put the cooker and outside fireplace to work! The pools, scenery, accomodations, amenities are much more than the pictures show. This place is a definite must with plenty of attractiosn near by! Enjoy!

My wife and I stayed here while our own home was being rented. We must agree with other reviewers that the property is even nicer than the pictures. It is a very peaceful setting with long views over the surrounding fields. The grounds are very well maintained with a variety of interesting plants & flowers. The pool house itself is well constructed with high quality components and amenities throughout. Best of all, Bob is a great, friendly host - we hope to stay here again soon.

Anniversary Getaway

Review Submitted: 07/15/11
My husband and I rented the poolhouse for our 4th anniversary--a much-needed getaway from all responsibility! The poolhouse provided that for us in spades! You know how sometimes the pictures on sites like these are old or taken in such a way to make things seem bigger or nicer? Not so with this rental. It was even more beautiful in person than in the photos. It's obvious Bob and Jeanne take great care with the property (unlike others I've been to where the 'vacation' property gets the cast-off/hand-me-down furniture); everything in the poolhouse is appointed for the comfort of the guests. My favorite, which you can't see in the pictures, was the shower. There were two shower heads, both pointing into the same corner (so not just a long stall with heads at opposing ends), and dark travertine tiles that gave one the impression of entering a modern cave. I'm trying to figure out how to redo my bathroom at home to make something similar! When we arrived, Bob was there to greet us, and show us the property and amenities. Not only did we have the poolhouse, but we had access to the grill, the smoker, the fire pit, the volleyball court, the pool, the spa, the garden (we were offered to pick through for fresh vegetables). The pool and spa were controlled by an iPhone, so we could set the spa temperature while upstairs, wait for the phone to tell us when it was hot, and only then head downstairs. Bob even offered for us to invite our kids up to play in the pool during the day (we had to make ourselves not take him up on that, because this was a trip for just the two of us, but it was tempting!!). Our only problem came with the kitchen windows, which were uncovered and positioned opposite the TV. When we brought it up with Bob and Jeanne, they not only covered the window for us with butcher block paper, but offered us the option of moving to an apartment over the garage that had the ability to be made much darker (we got to tour that space, and it was just as beautiful as the poolhouse, but without the uber-shower, so we stayed put). My husband and I will definitely be returning...we've talked about renting it for a weekend, just so this time we could bring the kids!

Based on all the prior reviews we decided to stay here and we weren't disappointed. The property does Auburn well, it's a beautiful place to stay and relax or explore the Auburn area. The surroundings are gorgeous, quite and peaceful. The pool cottage was so comfortable and had everything we would ever need. They thought of everything. Bob and Jeannie were very nice, helpful and knowledgeable about getting around Auburn. We loved meeting their 3 Collies. Thanks for a wonderful weekend and we look forward to returning.

Review Submitted: 05/12/11
I was fortunate enough to find this fantastic home while visiting VBRO. We honestly felt like we were in the Italian countryside. The "Pool House" was spared no expense when decorating; the kitchen is gorgeous and functional, the bathroom is very large and beautifully tiled with a two-head large shower and the bedroom is heavenly with the most comfortable bed ever! We had quite a show from the pheasants on the property,...it was mating season. Our hosts Jeannie and Bob are wonderful and very hospitable...loaning me a bathing suit for the spa and loaning me a large pot in which to boil our lobsters. A very romantic setting and a beautiful place to spend the weekend. Thank you for your good taste in everything, Jeannie and Bob! Lynn and Harry

The Ultimate Luxurious Treehouse

Review Submitted: 05/03/11
This was one of the best places I have stayed. The attention to details and the graciousness of our hosts made the entire experience simply delightful. I loved the feel of the open air, with windows and doors that opened wide to let the breeze through. The place was perfectly suited for a few nights of elegance in peaceful and quiet surroundings. The elegant spa was fantastic, with great jets that felt like a shiatsu massage kneading my back, and super comfy robes to wrap in when we got out. The pool is nice and big, with a deep end with diving board and waterfalls and enticing places for lounging all around. Even though we were only able to stay two nights, we came home feeling as relaxed as if we had experienced a long vacation away.

Wow, now this is a dream get away. You could run away from home with nothing and be completely comfortable. The hosts clearly like the best from the shampoo and wine to the linens and have shared it with their guests. They thought of everything one might need. This would be an amazing find for a safe respite, a honeymoon or a family get together if you rented the carriage house too. It was roomy enough to host a party and I did. There was plenty of everything. All my guests loved it and wanted to return. Besides the roominess of the pool house you have access to all of the grounds, out door fireplace, pool, barbecues and smokers, hot tub, ping pong. The views slowed my heart jmrate. I felt like I was in a glass tree house. Yet, if I wanted privacy, I could close the blinds, light the fire and retreat. I stayed in the carriage loft too and would recommend them both without hesitation
