Meadow Vista Mountain Escape w/ River Views!

Reviews

• Beautiful retreat on Bear River

  5/5

  We loved this peaceful home with stunning views of the river. Every window and piece of art in the house is intentional and in keeping with the nature that surrounds it. Wish we could have stayed longer.

  The beds, baths and kitchen are well equipped and comfortable. If you are arriving after dark, be aware that is it dark. If you are doing lots of activities, be prepared to drive. The remoteness of the home is part of the charm.

• Beautiful & peaceful getaway

  5/5

  We had an amazing time at this home, probably the nicest rental I've ever stayed at! The views of the river are stunning - and I love the all of the deck spaces to sit and take in the nature & sounds of the river. I rarely sleep better at a rental house than in my own bed, but the master bed was immensely comfortable... and I could have rested in it while looking at the surrounding nature all day long. We loved soaking in the hot tub as the sun was setting. You can tell that someone who cooks has outfitted the kitchen with all the essentials - including a wonderful collection of spices, oil/vinegar, and teas. Many vacation rentals feel sterol, but this rental feels cozy and homelike. I love that it was off the beaten path and tucked away in nature, but close to the city of Auburn - where I had the best time shopping on Saturday morning. It really is the best of both worlds! I would stay here again in a heart beat - and would recommend to anyone looking for restful (and fun) retreat.

• Amazing escape!

  5/5

  Perfect home nestled at the top of a ravine surrounded by trees. Only a few minutes away from town and all the California Gold country has to offer. I mountain biked and hiked, and dipped in the river. Highly recommend this home. It's beautiful and well stocked and beautifully decorated. My pup loved the huge fenced yard.

  Thanks!

• Fabulous retreat, lots of amenities, highly recommend!

  5/5

  This place was beautiful and thoughtful from start to finish. The views are even more impressive than the photographs. We hiked around the property, and there were so many nooks and hideaways to sit and relax. The hammock forest is not to be missed! We also hiked down to the river, which was up to our waist, so we were able to 'swim around' a bit. Aquasocks or sandals make it super easy to navigate.

  We had happy hour on the deck and watched the sunset. Molly's kitchen was well stocked so we cooked dinner at home. There's a really cute farmers market not far from the property - Foothills Roots Farm - and we made the best salad from there! They also had fresh baked bread and other goodies.

  After dinner, the hot tub was next. It was so clean and relaxing.

  The beds and sheets were super comfortable and we all slept so well.

  I highly recommend! We only wish we could stay a whole week. 🙂

• The views are breathtaking!

  5/5

  You will not find a home with views like this anywhere! In almost every room, you can see the deep, tree-filled ravine with the river running through it. The bedrooms, especially the master, are spacious and well-appointed. Everything is new--cookware, dishes, etc. There are all kinds of places in the house and around the property to hang out and relax, perfect for a family gathering. The property event has trails for short walks. Although you feel as if you are in the remote wilderness, it only takes a few minutes to get into town for restaurants, grocery shopping, etc. The hot tub is a real plus--easy to use and on a wood-covered deck.
