We booked this cabin for the night of our wedding. It was ten minutes away from the venue. It was a very nice, and quiet stay. Just what we were hoping for. The snacks were a nice touch and much needed after a night of hardly eating. I would recommend to anyone.

Inaccurate description

I was very upset to find this property was not on Lake Combie. My parents and I specifically chose this property because it stated 0.0km to lake and a 1 minute walk… which is extremely false. We walked 10 minutes down hill before we could even see the lake, and viewing it from afar was our only option as this is a private lake. I would have chosen a much closer to our actual destination had I known… I even brought my SUP from Oregon and booked an extra night hoping to enjoy the lake. Everything else was mostly as expected. I would surely not have x4 people in this small space. No real place to set our luggage and the small TV was not anywhere one could easily view it.

Peaceful and relaxing

The property was exactly as expected. I was able to unplug and relax in what felt like a home away from home. My favorite part was reading my book on the porch overlooking the countryside under the shade trees. Hosts were amazing and I genuinely felt they cared about my comfort and time at their property. I will definitely return.

Lovely quiet retreat

Lovely, very clean property, better than pictured, surprisingly spacious for a studio, good directions made it easy to find. Close to auburn state recreation and wine trail (about 20 mins drive). Great facilities and tea, coffee and some snacks were a nice surprise. Seeing deer from the deck was very nice. The little deck was peaceful. Very quiet neighborhood. Will return!!

Great place to stay !!

Clean nice guest house in a quiet location. Great communication from the host. There are some house rules that you need to be aware of (and vrbo system notified us about it after the booking was confirmed). As we had some minor concerns about the house rules, I contacted the Host and she was very gracious to accommodate our request. Overall a very pleasant experience. Kids loved it !!

Simple, nice, clean

I came up just for some quiet time away. This unit is very nice, clean, and has almost everything you need (it doesn't have a stovetop or hot plate, but has a microwave, toaster oven, coffeemaker, toaster & fridge) The bed is super comfy, bathroom is very clean, and has soap and shampoo/conditioner. I wasn't famiiar with Meadow Vista, but it's a cute, quiet area not far from Auburn, Grass Valley, etc. The hosts were helpful when I was freaking out about driving up in a snowstorm.

About the host

Hosted by Laura Alvarado

Host profile image
Hi, I’m Laura. I’m an avid trail runner and lover of the outdoors! My husband, Dan, and I moved to Auburn to enjoy all “the endurance capital of the world” has to offer. So if you’re looking for adventure and want some recommendations for local activities, we’ve got you covered! We have endeavored to make our home feel like your home-away-from-home. Dan and I also have three children, so if you need something, please ask… we probably have it. We look forward to hosting you!

Why they chose this property

We’re nestled among the trees on a peaceful, private street that dead-ends at the lake. This Meadow Vista neighborhood boasts the best of both worlds. Feel serenely tucked away while also enjoying proximity to all the essentials, like restaurants, a grocery store, and our favorite coffee shop, The Local Café, all within about a mile of our home. In addition, we’re just 10 minutes from downtown Auburn and 45 minutes from Boreal and Lake Tahoe. Appreciate proximity to Lake Tahoe without having to pay Tahoe Airbnb prices!

What makes this property unique

Our private guesthouse has its own separate entrance and deck. You’ll be amazed by how roomy this cozy suite feels! Step inside and enjoy complimentary coffee, tea, snacks, and bottled water in the dine-in kitchen. Then curl up in the living area to choose a show from the selection of streaming services on the flatscreen TV. With a double bed, a single bed, and a floor mattress, we have plenty of room to sleep four comfortably. We also offer a porta-crib and highchair for little ones upon request.
