About this property

Secluded 5-acre getaway with Private Pool and Hottub - great views!

Our private, nature-drenched house is located between Auburn and Colfax CA is the perfect place to relax with the whole family. Enjoy the Hottub looking over the beautiful view of pine-covered hills, or dip in the private pool at your leisure. On the way to Ski resorts (less than 1 hour) and within proximity of conveniences, enjoy the privacy of nature while preserving easy access to all the things you need.

Our goal was to make a place that is easy for families with kids of all ages - we know what it's like to travel with your family. No need to run through the house, putting all the breakables up high - our house is kid-friendly! This is the best place for multigenerational family get-togethers or split the rental with other families and have a nature get-away.

Sitting on 5 acres, there is plenty of land to explore and engage in nature. The pool is the perfect place for the kids to splash and adults to relax. The house has two bedrooms and bathrooms upstairs and two bedrooms, one bathroom downstairs, and two separate kitchens. There are tons of nooks for kids to play and explore, both inside and out.

We know you'll love staying at Dawn Ridge.

My husband and I celebrated our 60th birthday with our children and grandchildren. The house was perfect for all of us, including our four small grandchildren. The kitchen is very well equipped and we had no problem cooking all of our meals over seven days. The beds were very comfortable and our grandchildren loved the bunk room. Perfect getaway for a family!

Great for a weekend getaway

Nice place overall, plenty of space and clean. Very quiet area and no neighbors right on top of the property so this place worked very well for a weekend getaway to decompress. We’re certainly adding this to our list of return places to visit.

Amazing stay

We had a fantastic stay at this VRBO property! The house was spacious, clean, and provided everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Its location was perfect — nestled in nature, offering a peaceful retreat, but still close enough to groceries and restaurants for convenience. The kids had an absolute blast with all the amenities. The host was incredibly responsive and helpful, ensuring we had everything we needed. Overall, a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend this property for anyone looking for a relaxing yet convenient getaway!

Relaxing stay in a great location

Great location, spacious home. Spa on a starry night, relaxing and inspiring. Appreciated great communication with the host. The EV charger was a nice touch. Can easily accommodate a full family or even a couple of families. Would happily return with our full family, but certainly enjoyed the space with just the two of us.

Sixteenth birthday weekend

Our kiddo brought up a group of close friends for her birthday and the space was just right. It was nice having the upstairs for the adults and the downstairs for the teens. Nice hot tub, great views, well appointed kitchen. It was too cold for the pool but looks great for the summer. Responsive hosts, I’d stay here again

Perfect!

We had a fantastic time during our stay. The house was beautiful and had everything we needed. We were in a heat wave, so the pool was perfect. My dog had a great time exploring the property and sniffing everything in sight. It was quiet and very relaxing, especially watching all the golden eagles flying above. Would definitely love to come back next summer!
