Om boendet

Avskilt "Green" Award-vinnande samtida Lakefront Home

Detta är inte ett fritidshus som vi byggde så mycket som det är en upplevelse som vi skapade. Läs våra gästrecensioner!

Såsom ses i Sunset och Dwell Magazines är Lotus Lake House ett helt "grönt" exklusivt hem designat av den prisbelönta arkitekten Michelle Kaufmann. Det är snyggt och modernt med glasväggar i harmonisk stil som helt öppnar mot däck och utsikt över sjön. Massor av fönster och coola välkomnande toner. Vi är helt off-grid och har fått "Build it Green" och "Keep Sierra Green" -certifieringen.

Vi ligger på 7 tunnland privat skogsmark. Vi rensade precis tillräckligt med träd för att få fantastisk utsikt över Rollins Lake eller istället för att bara titta, vandra den privata leden från däck till sjön och hoppa i kanot som vi erbjuder gäster. Med glaset "Nano" väggar öppna för utomhus - inomhus och utomhus levande blandas. Inga grannar eller andra strukturer i sikte! Bara Sierra-bergen, träd, djupt blått vatten, hjortar, ugglor, rovfåglar och den tillfälliga honkinggässen.

Oavsett om du är på däcken och dricker kaffe och tittar på den vackra soluppgången över bergen, läser, dricker en drink vid solnedgången eller stirrar på natten, är upplevelsen magisk.

Vårt hem är idealiskt för en romantisk resa, eller för ett par goda vänner eller nära familjemedlemmar som bara behöver en tillflyktsort från stress i det dagliga livet. Sitt på däck och njut av vattenaktiviteten under sommaren, simma i sjön eller kom av säsongen när det är absolut stilla. Perfekt för författare / artist reträtt. Endast jordvänliga produkter används så det är perfekt för personer med kemisk känslighet.


För dig som vill stödja miljön medan du bor i en exklusiv och unik fastighet kan du inte be om mer. Du kommer att känna att du är i ett trädhus. Som en av våra gäster sa, "om du behöver lära dig hur du andas, kommer denna plats att lära dig"!
Kom och upplev utanför nätet som lever i lyx!

Lotus Lake House var ett utställningshus vid West Coast Green Show 2007 i San Francisco.

Wonderful private house in the trees

There is nothing to not like about the Lotus house. It’s in a gorgeous location seemingly perched in the trees. It is quite stylish without being in your face about it. It is very clean and the Tod is very responsive to questions. Rent it. You won’t be sorry.

Views and Solitude

Spring snow and cold weather didn't detour us from enjoying the wonderful home. Fabulous windows and deck. Everything clean and in place. On a private road and not likely to have other people coming by.

If you’re looking for peace and quiet this is for you. This green prefab is very secluded. It is starting to show its age though. Music system is set up for docking an old style iPod. Deck is at the point it will need to replaced soon. Unfortunately, currently the lake is about 20 feet low making access from the home difficult at best.

Lakefront home

The property was beautiful, not to far from the city of Colfax or Grass valley but far enough for some peace and quiet. The walk down to the water was pleasant, not to far and not a steep walk. Overall a great experience

Secluded and great view

We spent Christmas Eve and Day here and really enjoyed the solitude. Nice home with a great deck and view of Rollins Lake. I would suggest a binder for guests with possible hikes in the area, helpful hints for using the home, and if guests bring dogs, a note about ticks and poison oak in the area. Overall, we enjoyed our stay.

Nice, quiet place to relax

Only downside that had nothing to do with the property itself was that when we got home our dogs had ticks. We pulled close to 2 doz so we probably won't visit that area again. The place though was quite beautiful and very comfortable.

Mountain/Lake Getaway

We had a great time at Lotus Lake house. The house is unique and very well taken care of. Fully stocked with everything you could possibly want or need. Tod, the owner, was very responsive to any questions we had. We would definitely stay there again. Suggestions would be to replace the queen size bed with a king size, as the room is large enough. Also, shades would be an asset in the front of the house to block the sun .

An off the grid getaway

We truly enjoyed our time at Lotus Lake house. We chose this listing because of the lovely photos depicting the deck looking out over the lake and it did not disappoint. We ate breakfast and lunch on the deck each day, and my husband especially enjoyed having his morning coffee out on the deck. We also took our dog with us and that made us feel right at home. The dog run is big and full of great places for dogs to curl up for a nap. Lotus Lake house is new, beautiful and well maintained, and Barrie was super. We relaxed and had lots of down time, just what we needed.

We didn't want to leave ...

As lovers of modern architecture and conscious living, we were thrilled to find the Lotus Lake House and it did not disappoint. The location is beautiful, the amenities are top notch and being off the grid provided a much needed break from the outside world. We spent our days lounging on the decks (in the most comfortable outdoor furniture we've ever sat in), swimming in the lake, and eating dinner under the stars. The Nano walls were awesome and brought the outdoors in. The owners, Barri and Tod, were also very welcoming and communicative; we were told to call them if we needed anything and had their phone numbers and contact information. Our time at the Lotus Lake House went way too fast and we're already making plans to return.

Private and Peaceful Getaway

"We stayed at the gorgeous Lotus Lake house in March and found this home to be perfect for our needs. This is one of a dozen or VRBO homes we have rented over the years and this one hits the top of the list for all the things we look for in a rental home. Lotus Lake house offers complete privacy, yet is minutes to anything you might need. We found we didn't need much, so we ventured out only to househunt which was the main purpose of this trip. Hosts Barrie and Tod have created a stellar environment in which to relax and rest - they anticipate their guests every need in terms of comfort and convenience. It was so easy to settle in and make this place ours for the time we were there. Furnishings are top notch with many extra touches you don't often find in a rental home. Barrie created a binder with valuable information on everything and anything you'll need to know, see or do during your stay. You won't be disappointed staying at this tranquil and lovely sanctuary."

A real gem for a getaway!

This is an extraordinary property, with stunning views. We spent 3 nights, and enjoyed every minute. The location is relaxing, peaceful, and (for the most part) quiet. Yes, there were motorboats on the lake, but since we were there on weekdays, it wasn't a big issue as most of the boats were only out around dinner time, after people got home from work. The house is amazing, with every convenience imaginable; it was hard to believe that we were "off grid", we lacked for nothing. Every morning I would open up the sliding glass doors, and let nature inside! Sitting out on the deck, overlooking the lake, was amazing. The house was clean, and the kitchen well stocked. The peacefulness of the setting was incomparable; we hope to return in the future. For those looking for tourist activities in the area, try the Empire Mine State Park (a well preserved gold mine, with great history, and well narrated tours), and the South Yuba River State Park (for hikes, awesome views of the river, and great swimming holes on a hot day).

Nice house - Buyer beware

The information on the website does not adequately inform the renter about what's involved with operating this house. It is not until you arrive, and get access to the "house book", that the most important information needed to make an informed decision about renting this property is made available to you. In short, what we did not know: 1. access to the internet-a 20 minute drive from the house to Safeway/Starbucks. We emailed the owner about this and his response was that a poll had been taken and it was decided that there would be no internet. We did not know about this poll. It was not listed on the web page. We also had no TV/Satelitte. 2. heating the house and having hot water-a few small solar panels plus a generator were supposed to provide heat/hot water...both woefully inadequate to provide either one. The backup plan in the "house book" was to use layers of clothing and lots of blankets. At midnight, no heat...at 7 am, no heat..., at noon when we left the property...no heat. An informed decision about renting this house cannot be made without the information included in the "house book".

Wonderful stay but please heed the advice re:ticks

This was such a cool property. So peaceful and beautiful. Partner and I came here to get away - loved the views, fresh air, starry skies. We were really looking forward to using the canoe in the lake. On the walk down to the lake there’s a really cool path except for one thing. TICKS. We’re used to having to pull ticks off of our dog after hiking, usually just one or two. Not here though, when we got to the bottom of the path there were no less than 20 ticks on my dog. I had to pull them all off not to mention a few on me, and then carry my dog back up the hill which sucked. The thing is, someone else mentioned this in the reviews and I really wish I heeded their advice. I don’t think it’s fair to ding the property because we encountered the same exact problem when we hiked Malakoff Diggins, it’s really just a grass valley thing, but please if you love your dog do not hike down to the lake. Ok now that that’s out of the way, the rest of the stay was so wonderful. When we couldn’t find the cushions for the outdoor furniture we messaged Tod who resolved the problem quickly and was very communicative. Even though it got down to 39 outside at night it was very comfortable inside. During the day being able to open all the doors was really cool. Oh one more thing that is in no way the fault of the property but there are some annoying wakeboarders who blast really loud basically strip club music during the day on Saturday. Not exactly super peaceful, but overall loved our stay!

WOULD NOT STAY AGAIN - TERRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE- LISTING INFO INACCURATE

*Featherbed topper was not there & the mattress is like sleeping on a slab of concrete. *Could not figure out how to covert the sofa into a bed (broken?); Narrower than a twin bed. Listing states 1 bed plus 2 converting sofas. There is 1 bed & 1 sofa. The oven did not work. *Called housekeeper & handyman. They did call us back during our stay however neither knew how to convert sofa or whereabouts of featherbed. Was told oven is broken & had been reported to owner by previous guest. Handyman offered to come take a look, but we declined as it was late & we only needed the oven for dinner that night. *My daughter ended up using a dirty, leaking air mattress we found outside our 2nd night as the narrow sofa was too uncomfortable. Had to hike down to lake to get a working air pump, batteries dead in one at house. No ice maker, listing says there is. Refrigerater is very small. *Grill wouldn't heat higher than 250. *Does not sleep 4 as listed. *Generator ran each night starting 10pm. *Too hard to carry canoe down steep terrain. *Noise from speedboats started at dawn ended around 10-11pm. *Never got a call back from Tod in response to my voicemail on check in day regarding the sleeping issues. After my return home he said I needed to notify him of special arrangements prior to our rental (how to convert the sofa isn't a special request IMO, nor is a working oven). The home is not as private as we had expected as other reviewers have mentioned. Plan to take some time to read the book so you know how everything works. If there are only two of you, and you make sure the mattress topper is there, you don't mind some noise and perhaps a broken oven, then the place could work for you. The property is also for sale at the current time.

Om värden

Tod duBois är värd

Värdens profilbild
We are very interested in doing our part to protect our planet and the environment. A refuge from the corporate world in Silicon Valley where I held demanding jobs we enjoyed building my lakeside dream eco-friendly vacation home in the middle of a forest overlooking beautiful Rollins Lake. Tod designed the off-grid system himself, it's amazing! This is my home and when it's not rented we delight in escaping the Bay Area for the beauty and simplicity of its zen-like qualities.

Varför värden valde detta boende

I love the Sierras and a number of years ago bought 8 acres in the forest overlooking Rollins Lake with the intent of building a low carbon-footprint vacation home that would be all about the views. Although our home is private & secluded I liked that you are within 5 minutes of wineries, 15 minutes to the quaint artist town of Nevada City, 12 minutes to the historic Gold Rush town of Grass Valley, hiking, exploring the gold mines, and organic farms and only 45 minutes to Sugar Bowl Ski resort.

Vad som gör detta boende unikt

You will come away rejuvenated, even after just 2 days! As one of our guests wrote: 'If you need to learn how to breathe again, this place will teach you'. Most of our guests have plans to do lots of things and wind up not leaving the house! The seclusion, the tree-house feel, the lake views and access to the lake and a canoe make this a very special getaway for 2.
