Peaceful Cottage Between Lake Tahoe & Sacramento
Ponderosa Pines Cottage of the Sierra Nevada Foothills
COVID Safe! We are OPEN and are following the CDC guidelines for vacation rental units (as well as Placer County guidelines for cleaning.) BOOK WITH CONFIDENCE!
Stay among the Ponderosa Pines, seemingly far, far from civilization, yet you’re only 2 minutes from Interstate 80 freeway, and only 45 minutes from the state capitol and an hour from Lake Tahoe.
Newly renovated from roof to the hardwood floors, this charming cottage will offer comfort, peace and tranquility, convenience and a bit of that laid-back country vibe.
Minutes close to historic gold country where the gold rush exploded back in the mid 1800s, fishing, skiing in the winter, river rafting in the summer, zip line tours, boating, wineries and so much more. This cottage will keep you comfy while you rest up, in between all the fun adventures you will have in the area. And, there is plenty of wildlife passing right outside your windows, such as deer, foxes, raccoons, wild turkeys, plenty of birds, squirrels, along with the occasional bear.

Cozy Cottage
Nestled in a quiet and peaceful rural area roughly halfway between Auburn and Colfax, this is a great place to stay. Within reasonable driving distance of both the mountains and Sacramento, there's plenty to see and do if you're visiting the area. Cottage is very cozy, clean,and comfortable. Rene and Patty, the hosts, are very friendly and helpful and available if any issues arise. Highly recommended.

Love it!
Lovely little cottage ideally located in Colfax. It is a quiet and nice place. We were able to walk with our kids in the forest. The interior of the cottage is very rustic, well-designed, very comfortable, and well-arranged. We arrived late after 8:00 pm, and inside was warm, and cozy and the beds were ready and comfortable for my kids, my husband, and myself. We loved the way how the host left snacks on the table, juice, and sparkling water in the refrigerator. It is really nice! Also, We enjoyed the backyard - with a lot of leaves and quietness. We loved it so much, and we are sure we will return back every time when we will need that time to be away from work and city life. Thank you very much!!

Simply wonderful!
This was one of the cleanest places we have ever stayed at. The owners are great folks as are many of the neighbors we met while walking each night. Great wildlife surrounds this great little cabin. We saw deer and squirrels everyday.
It is well appointed and the owners have thought of everything! The peace and quiet was so nice to come home to each night. The deck out back is great to sit on each morning with the morning coffee. We look forward to coming back!

Peaceful stay 😌
My stay at ponderosa pines cottage was short but sweet. At my arrival Patty the host was very nice she gave me a tour of her amazing little cottage in the forest. It was fully equipped with all the amenities of a cozy home . It well surpassed any of my expectations. I enjoyed a little bit of natures sweetest treasures like bird watching , a family of deers and a stunning sun set at the end of a day . Also i was able to take a quick hike that had all the elements of what I consider to be an excellent 5 star hike in Near by Nevada city. There was a long suspension bridge crossing over a beautiful stream surrounded by beautiful green pine trees and other trees. The trail was just enough challenge to keep you wanting to go further. At the end there was a small oasis of waterfalls and giant rocks surrounded by forest. Beautiful!! The icing on the cake was a very colorful sunrise at my departure it was like nature saying goodmorning and come back soon.
