Cozy Canyon Cottage: Come relax, hike, run, or walk 2 town 4 some amazing faire

Nestled just steps away from the American River Canyon as well as Old Town and Down town Auburn, this quaint cottage offers all you need to enjoy the abundance of options the area has to offer. Trail running, mountain biking, hiking, river rafting, award winning wineries and breweries, music, and if you choose, a glimpse into what started the movement west in 1852. GOLD!
The cottage has an open concept with a queen bed, a leather sectional, and a sleeping loft with a twin mattress. Well appointed kitchen with a full size refrigerator, large microwave, coffee maker, electric kettle, gas stove, counter top convection oven, blender and coffee grinder for the fresh beans.
There is a desk area if you need to get some work done and a great ductless A/C and gas fireplace if you want to enjoy a fire.
We are here to help with directions, instruction and suggestions. Great for kids, and we welcome well behaved pets upon approval.
The area around the cottage has mature boxwood bushes, an antique gate and some deer deter fencing. Is not totally secure to keep the pups in.
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and space to spread out with a separate bedroom. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a coffee maker. Limited housekeeping is available.

The neighborhood was very nice, but it was a little hard to find due to the construction nearby.The driveway was a little steep and a little snug to park in, but the house itself was lovely!Super clean and welcoming, we had a great time exploring the area and coming home to a cozy cottage! Hosts were super friendly and accommodating.

We came to stay in order to go to a volleyball tournament in Sacramento. The house was so cozy and very sweet. The place was clean and so cute. We slept very good! The cottage will be a place that we could definitely come back to. Alexandra and her husband were very friendly and great hosts. They were easily accessible for a couple of things that we had questions about. Thank you so much for letting us stay! Would totally recommend this property!

We loved the cottage

This was our second stay at Alexandra's cottage and just as wonderful as the first. Although it's small, it has everything one can need, including a wonderful full-service kitchen. The bed was comfy and the couch a great place to chat or watch TV. We already have our next stay planned.

Perfect location for outdoor enthusiast

We loved staying at this cottage. Thelocation to everything was perfect. Proximity to great trails, close to downtown, i was able to walk everywhere. Alex and Glenn were extremely great hosts and super likeable. The grounds were beautiful and tranquil. The cottage is perfect for a couple. The cottage was adequately stocked with all things to be comfortable and prepare meals. There is a washer and dryer on site as well. Thanks again!!! We will definitely be back.

Beautiful Garden

The actual driveway isn’t marked with the address so that was difficult. We drove past it multiple times. I know there’s a map with an arrow but it’s not clear when you get there.I’m not good with directions thank God my husband was with me I might never have found it. The hostess was there to meet us and she’s a very nice lady. We later met her husband, Glenn and he was a cool guy. Very chill and peaceful setting! So many artsy ideas, sculptures and really interesting ways they present the garden and the inside decorIt was really fun to look at everythingIt’s a really cute place, absolutely love the Garden entrance area was so nice and calming.Love the aesthetics!! We took our dog and he loved it. A small/med dog can escape from the yard.It’s not clear from the pictures but the queen bed is downstairs. I got a little nervous thinking that was upstairs because I couldn’t tell from the photographs. Please note there is a full size bed in the loft on the carpet but it’s up an 8 foot ladder w/ wide steps. Its at an angle not straight up like a ladder. I’m 63 with bad knees and I was able to go up and take a lookThe only thing I needed that I couldn’t find was a pair of scissors, measuring cups or measuring spoons. Other than that it had pretty much everything we needed to do a little bit of cooking that we did. We stayed tonight and we’re very pleased with our choice of places to stay. We will definitely keep them in mind for the future.

A great place to stay

Cozy Canyon Cottage was the perfect place to stay in Auburn. It was a happy medium between a 1-bedroom and a studio, and I’ve seldom seen such a well-stocked and equipped kitchen. Alex, the owner, lives right next door and was incredibly helpful

Beautiful Place to Stay

Our hosts were wonderful. Alex met us during check in - gave us a quick overview and gave us great suggestions for what to do in the area and where to eat. The bed was comfortable and so was the sofa! Everything was great. Also - the place is just beautiful and so well equipped. Thank you so much!

Beware

Drove up to the property in a very condensed neighborhood. The driveway had old washers and dryers, engine and parts, trash, dirt. I had to walk around the debris to get to the door. Host said it would be unlocked, it was locked. A large dog inside barking. The smell was of old trash and disgusting.

Peaceful Cottage Retreat

My dog and I were welcomed for 6 nights at this sweet Auburn cottage. The kitchen was well stocked--great locally roasted coffee provided--and there was a lovely porch with a garden to enjoy morning coffee or evening wine. The hosts, Glen and Alexandra, were so accommodating and easy to reach, and made sure everything was satisfactory. Located in a quiet canyon, we met many dog walkers, saw several dear and had a great experience overall! I would definitely stay here again.

No offense to the picture taker, but the pictures on the website don't do justice to how great this little cottage is. It's far more spacious than it looks. The host was awesome, very nice and helpful. It's very quiet and we will definitely stay there again.

An overall great little cottage

This place is a great retreat for a couple and even has a little loft area that kids will love that they can sleep in. Lots of wildflowers and plants with singing birds a-plenty to help you relax. It is a work in process, but is very close to being completed. Some minor things like hanging free outlet covers and some debris plies outside, but nothing from stopping me from staying again. It’s a very quiet little cottage. Looking forward to see it again.

Lovely cottage in a suburban neighborhood in Auburn. It was well stocked and very esthetic. The loft is a nice second bedroom for those intrepid enough to climb the ladder (I did). Nice area close to hiking and a day trip to Tahoe. Would definitely recommend.

Very cute storybook cottage

The house is a great little place for once or two people. It was a bit smaller than expected but it wasn’t an issue for myself and a friend. It was a bit harder to find than I expected but we were arriving after dinner in full dark. Beautiful area close to tons of hiking trails and old town for restaurants and activities.

Perfect getaway!

This adorable little cottage is exactly as described and decorated beautifully (even little hearts for Valentine's month). Alex greeted me when I first arrived, showing me personally around the cottage. Glenn & Alex were excellent hosts (immediately available when needed, but also giving me privacy... Glenn even offered to pick up something from the store when he was there!) The cottage is the perfect size and well-appointed. I chose to sleep in the cozy little loft (very comfortable). The fridge was stocked with some drinks that guests are allowed to use. I took several long walks in the neighborhood, shopped in town, and just enjoyed what this lovely town and cottage had to offer. This was exactly what I was looking for - a quiet, beautiful place away from all responsibilities to celebrate my 50th birthday 🎉. Thank you, Alex & Glenn! I hope to return in the future.
