Perfect

My 2 adult children and I spent the night at the Cozy Country Guesthouse after a family wedding in Meadow Vista. The three of us found everything we needed here for our short stay, and I would love to return again for a longer visit.

Lovely cabin in the woods

I stayed in this beautiful and well put together cabin in the woods on a 3-acre property with my adult son and his girlfriend. We came from Oakland and were on our way to Lake Tahoe, and wanted to explore Nevada City and the Yuba River area. We loved everything about the rental and wished we could have stayed longer. It is very clean, comfortable, stylishly decorated, roomy, had snacks, coffee and a Brita pitcher, and the hosts were easily accessible and friendly. Thank you Laura and Dan!

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.

Country Escape

We were in the area for a wedding. We only stayed 2 nights, but it was lovely. The property is so quiet, I had one of the best nights sleep in ages. The guest house is nicely equipped and had everything we needed to be comfortable. although we were out and about with wedding activites, we enjoyed sitting on the front deck in the evening having wine and just relaxing. The property is a few miles outside of Auburn, but the drive to get into town was really easy. I recommend taking the hosts recommendations for eating places. We had dinner at the Tin Lantern and ate breakfast twice at Catherine's. I wish we had more time to explore the area. The lake is a short drive down the street. We hope to return to the area on our next trip north and spend a few extra days to do more of the activities around the area. The hosts have a nice manual with places to go and things to see - I want to do them all. In summary - we really enjoyed the property. It was exactly what we needed and where we needed to be. Quiet, comfortable and great location. The hostess was amazing at responding to any and all inquiries. Oh yes - we saw 3 deer over the 2 nights we were there. One very large doe in the front yard and 2 teenage bucks. I would recommend this guest cottage and hope to stay again.

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!!

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.

About the host

Hosted by Laura Alvarado

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.
