HOUSE RULES:
Hey there!

I know it looks like a ton of information but I like for my guests to know everything there is to know about my space!

I want to be fully transparent, so I've included information and other helpful tips to make your stay enjoyable.

If you have questions, send me a message!

CONSUMABLES: You'll find a variety of seasonings, cooking oil, coffee (regular and decaf), tea, sweetener, etc.

DINNER GUESTS: We understand some of your family may live nearby. We are open to our guests having family over to share a meal. We love helping folks make memories! The home is NOT to exceed 12 people total and dinner guest requests MUST be pre-approved by the host in advance. This offer is only available to guests with other excellent reviews. Only registered guests (12 total) may stay the night. Unauthorized guests beyond what is stated in the reservation will result in a $100 per guest per night fee.

THE DAY OF CHECK OUT: I don't require much in the way of cleaning. After all, you paid a cleaning fee right? Please do your dishes. Place all trash in the trash cans located throughout the home. Turn off the lights and heater/air conditioner, close and lock any windows you may have opened and return the key back to the lockbox. No need to empty all the trash cans, mop, vacuum, strip the beds or do laundry. We will take care of it! We just want our guests to RELAX!

Additionally, if you move any furniture during your stay, please return it to where you found it. A $100 fee will be charged if furniture is not returned to its original placement by the day of check-out.

HOT TUB: Please refrain from using the hot tub as a cold pool. Doing so prevents the filters from operating correctly, requiring the tub to be drained and deep cleaned after departure. Should this rule be disregarded, a $100 cleaning fee will be applied. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation to ensure the longevity and quality of the hot tub experience for all guests.

SMOKING POLICY: This is a smoke free environment including cigarettes, e-cigarettes, vape, etc. The smell is impossible to remove and could cause disruptions to future guest reservations. If evidence of smoking indoors is discovered, an additional fee of $100 will be charged and potentially the additional cost that is incurred by losing the next guest's reservation because we cannot eliminate the odor in time for the next arrival. Marijuana is legal in California and IS ALLOWED OUTSIDE ONLY.

CLEANING FEE: Our cleaning fee is based on a courteous guest that leaves the home in good condition. If the home is extremely dirty after check out, you will be charged an additional $100 cleaning fee. This fee includes but is not limited to the discovery of blood, vomit, urine, feces or any other biohazard. Please be advised, we will not attempt to clean any bodily fluid stained items due to potential health risks to my family and future guests. Instead, I will throw the item(s) away, forward my purchase receipts to VRBO and bill you to replace the item(s) in question. Thanks for your understanding!

OVERSTAY FEE: If you are still occupying my property at the 10AM check out time, you will automatically be charged the cost of an additional day at the base rate with no discounts. This does not award you possession of the property, this is just a penalty. If the next guest cannot check in because we cannot clean the home in time, you will be charged the cost associated with losing that reservation.

UNDECLARED GUEST FEE: To deter parties, any undeclared guests over the max occupancy of seven that enter our property, will be charged $100 per person, per day.
Only registered guests are allowed on the property. Absolutely no sex offenders, felons or any other criminals are allowed on my property.

SAFETY/CLEANING PRODUCT PLACEMENT: We happily welcome children but please keep in mind our home is not baby proofed.

COMPLAINTS/REFUNDS: We always try to make everything perfect and because this is our home, we rarely have any unexpected issues. All complaints must be made within the first two hours of arrival on check in day. By addressing a complaint about any aspect of the property to VRBO or the host, you are authorizing the host or maintenance person to come to the property to remedy the situation up to the standards you require. Power outages, weather and road conditions, acts of nature, flight cancellations, sightings of insects, malfunctions with the TV's internet service, or other equipment/appliances do not qualify for refunds. We recommend purchasing travel insurance and reviewing VRBO's terms of service. We reserve the right to refuse accommodation or demands from rude, disrespectful and/or discourteous guests.

CAMERAS/SECURITY SYSTEM: The Property has security cameras placed in the front porch / entrance and at the garage facing the driveway. This video footage is not shared and is recorded for liability reasons in the cases of a break-in, death, injury, guests sneaking in pets, guests disregarding the maximum occupancy allowed, and in no way infringes upon the guests’ expectations of privacy in these public areas of the property. Any attempt at disabling or obscuring the cameras is prohibited and may result in the guest being evicted without refund. The full deposit will be forfeited if any of the above are found. You will also be asked to leave the property immediately without any money returned.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS: You understand you are renting a short-term rental property and will not have tenant rights, no matter the length of your stay. This is considered written proof to the authorities that you have no rights to the home after your reservation has ended. You will be considered a trespasser. Violate the house rules and your reservation will be terminated immediately and is considered grounds for removal from the property without refund. Private security will be hired at your expense to remove all trespassers. You are entering the host's property at your own risk. The host disclaims any liability and shall not be held responsible for any personal injury, accident, incident, pet injury, death, property damage or loss. The host will not be responsible for damages of any kind or any other liability whatsoever arising from or in conjunction with a reservation made through VRBO.

It was filthy, the drip pan was a fire hazard and the propane tank felt almost empty. We decided not to use it. Also water dispenser in fridge did not work. We still love the place!

We made some really great memories and I am positive we could not have chosen a better place to enjoy our time together!! CANNOT wait to go back and we definitely will. You will not be disappointed!! 6 stars!! Thank you Teresa!"

Come and get away from it all at Riverbend Retreat, nestled in the woods along a gorgeous bend of the Bear River with a swimming hole just below the house.
Relax on the deck and listen to the river and enjoy the peaceful natural setting. Take a dip in the private swimming hole, curl up in front of the fire, or take a walk through the woods. The house is just 10 minutes from town, but you will feel like you have the view from the deck all to yourself, surrounded by tree covered hills, granite outcroppings, and bright stars on clear nights.
If you want to explore the area, Riverbend Retreat is within 20 minutes of the historic gold rush towns of Old Auburn, Grass Valley, and Nevada City, with restaurants, shopping, and nearby wineries. Hiking and scenery abound in the Sierra foothills and in the winter months its only one hour up to the ski resorts of Tahoe.

This home has three bedrooms and three bathrooms and can comfortably sleep 6 adults. The master bedroom has a King bed, en suite bathroom, and its own deck access overlooking the river. There are king size beds in the other two bedrooms as well. The house is one level with no interior stairs, but there are stairs leading to the lower deck and river access.
Newly remodeled full kitchen, outdoor grill, and laundry room. TV with streaming, DVD player with large DVD collection, and games and puzzles for your use. Parking for up to three cars in the driveway with an EV charger available in the garage. Starlink Satellite Wi-Fi is available, cell signal varies by carrier.
Dogs are welcome but should be leashed outside for their own safety.
We do not recommend for children under 5 years old due to the river access, wildlife, and high deck.
Early or late check outs may be available upon request for a small fee.
For protection of our guests and property, there are two security cameras with a view of the driveway entrance area.

- "Every year my spouse and two friends and I like to get out of the Sacramento Valley to reconnect and relax. The house is perfect. All you need is your groceries. We never left. The decor and furniture is clean and comfortable and there are plenty of spaces to sit outside and watch nature. The swimming hole was amazing and the water clear and clean. We are all over 60 and for most of us the path to and from the river, and getting in and out of the water, was challenging. The rocks are to the river are slippery and smooth. The rocks in the river are covered with slippery moss/algae. Not advisable for folks with severe osteoporosis. We did not see any other humans nor heard traffic during our stay. Jennifer's directions were accurate and detailed and I highly recommend reading the purple binder. It is the most informative collection of a location's history and fauna we have ever read during our many stays at other VRBO homes. Thank you Jennifer!"

HOUSE RULES:
Hey there!

I know it looks like a ton of information but I like for my guests to know everything there is to know about my space!

I want to be fully transparent, so I've included information and other helpful tips to make your stay enjoyable.

If you have questions, send me a message!

CONSUMABLES: You'll find a variety of seasonings, cooking oil, coffee (regular and decaf), tea, sweetener, etc.

DINNER GUESTS: We understand some of your family may live nearby. We are open to our guests having family over to share a meal. We love helping folks make memories! The home is NOT to exceed 7 people total and dinner guest requests MUST be pre-approved by the host in advance. This offer is only available to guests with other excellent reviews. Only registered guests (7 total) may stay the night. Unauthorized guests beyond what is stated in the reservation will result in a $100 per guest per night fee.

THE DAY OF CHECK OUT: I don't require much in the way of cleaning. After all, you paid a cleaning fee right? Please do your dishes. Place all trash in the trash cans located throughout the home. Turn off the lights and heater/air conditioner, close and lock any windows you may have opened and return the key back to the lockbox. No need to empty all the trash cans, mop, vacuum, strip the beds or do laundry. We will take care of it! We just want our guests to RELAX!

Additionally, if you move any furniture during your stay, please return it to where you found it. A $100 fee will be charged if furniture is not returned to its original placement by the day of check-out.

HOT TUB: Please refrain from using the hot tub as a cold pool. Doing so prevents the filters from operating correctly, requiring the tub to be drained and deep cleaned after departure. Should this rule be disregarded, a $100 cleaning fee will be applied. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation to ensure the longevity and quality of the hot tub experience for all guests.

SMOKING POLICY: This is a smoke free environment including cigarettes, e-cigarettes, vape, etc. The smell is impossible to remove and could cause disruptions to future guest reservations. If evidence of smoking indoors is discovered, an additional fee of $100 will be charged and potentially the additional cost that is incurred by losing the next guest's reservation because we cannot eliminate the odor in time for the next arrival. Marijuana is legal in California and IS ALLOWED OUTSIDE ONLY.

CLEANING FEE: Our cleaning fee is based on a courteous guest that leaves the home in good condition. If the home is extremely dirty after check out, you will be charged an additional $100 cleaning fee. This fee includes but is not limited to the discovery of blood, vomit, urine, feces or any other biohazard. Please be advised, we will not attempt to clean any bodily fluid stained items due to potential health risks to my family and future guests. Instead, I will throw the item(s) away, forward my purchase receipts to VRBO and bill you to replace the item(s) in question. Thanks for your understanding!

OVERSTAY FEE: If you are still occupying my property at the 10AM check out time, you will automatically be charged the cost of an additional day at the base rate with no discounts. This does not award you possession of the property, this is just a penalty. If the next guest cannot check in because we cannot clean the home in time, you will be charged the cost associated with losing that reservation.

UNDECLARED GUEST FEE: To deter parties, any undeclared guests over the max occupancy of seven that enter our property, will be charged $100 per person, per day.
Only registered guests are allowed on the property. Absolutely no sex offenders, felons or any other criminals are allowed on my property.

SAFETY/CLEANING PRODUCT PLACEMENT: We happily welcome children but please keep in mind our home is not baby proofed.

COMPLAINTS/REFUNDS: We always try to make everything perfect and because this is our home, we rarely have any unexpected issues. All complaints must be made within the first two hours of arrival on check in day. By addressing a complaint about any aspect of the property to VRBO or the host, you are authorizing the host or maintenance person to come to the property to remedy the situation up to the standards you require. Power outages, weather and road conditions, acts of nature, flight cancellations, sightings of insects, malfunctions with the TV's internet service, or other equipment/appliances do not qualify for refunds. We recommend purchasing travel insurance and reviewing VRBO's terms of service. We reserve the right to refuse accommodation or demands from rude, disrespectful and/or discourteous guests.

CAMERAS/SECURITY SYSTEM: The Property has security cameras placed in the front porch / entrance and at the garage facing the backdoor. This video footage is not shared and is recorded for liability reasons in the cases of a break-in, death, injury, guests sneaking in pets, guests disregarding the maximum occupancy allowed, and in no way infringes upon the guests’ expectations of privacy in these public areas of the property. Any attempt at disabling or obscuring the cameras is prohibited and may result in the guest being evicted without refund. The full deposit will be forfeited if any of the above are found. You will also be asked to leave the property immediately without any money returned.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS: You understand you are renting a short-term rental property and will not have tenant rights, no matter the length of your stay. This is considered written proof to the authorities that you have no rights to the home after your reservation has ended. You will be considered a trespasser. Violate the house rules and your reservation will be terminated immediately and is considered grounds for removal from the property without refund. Private security will be hired at your expense to remove all trespassers. You are entering the host's property at your own risk. The host disclaims any liability and shall not be held responsible for any personal injury, accident, incident, pet injury, death, property damage or loss. The host will not be responsible for damages of any kind or any other liability whatsoever arising from or in conjunction with a reservation made through VRBO. Anyone, including undeclared guests who enter the host's property agrees to the house rules and conditions.

Violation of any of these house rules will result in your reservation being immediately canceled without refund.

- "This property was exactly what we needed for an overdue girls weekend. The location was perfect for some antiquing on Saturday, close enough to town but far enough to get away from traffic noise. We took a few nice walks through the neighborhood - it's lovely! The house had everything we needed to have a relaxing and enjoyable weekend. Thank you." - "This property is exactly as described. The hosts are super responsive and will help you if you need it. I would highly recommend this to a group of friends looking to hang out or families. The layout is such that forces you to hang out, but has room everyone, which is perfect for a get together. Two families could easily share this spot for a vacation. The place is clean and has everything you need."

This Sierra Foothills home is waiting for you and your family. This spacious home sleeps 10 with six comfy beds and central heat/air conditioning. All season outdoor adventures nearby. Skiing, snowboarding, hiking, relax by the river and rafting are just a few adventures to name. This home is pet friendly and has an enclosed yard for medium sized pets.

- "Had a great time. Thank you" - "A wonderful home to stay in while visiting family, nice to have a place of our own instead of couch surfing. Very clean, lots of space and close to everything, yet out of the way for provacy." - "Great stat. Close to the freeway and easy access to everything." - "I planned a trip to the Truckee area for my family. Kids wanted to enjoy snow and the adults wanted to enjoy the hustle and bustle of the Squaw Valley (Pallisade). This lovely house is in Colfax and was just about 30 minutes away from the snow area. The house was lovelier than I expected. Very spacious for all of us - 2 families. Very well furnished, electronics were latest and high end. Fire place adds to the coziness and charm of the house. Large and beautiful deck in the back would be fun in the summers. Highly recommended."

- "I booked this squeaky-clean property for my wife's best friend and her family with their 20-month baby. Baby crawled all over the floors and kept coming up CLEAN! That's a real test! Everything feels brand-new and fresh, even if the house itself clearly is a fully-updated "midcentury country modern." The home is bright, well-appointed and offers privacy with one bedroom at each side. Formal dining room was our "Go To" when my wife and I came over from another part of Meadow Vista for dinner. Hosts are accessible, polite and rightly proud of what they are providing, inside and out. You won't be disappointed."

This one of a kind, spacious 5 Bedroom, 4 Bathroom lake home is situated on a 450 Acre Recreational lake and on one of Lake Combie's few 5 acres properties. Approximately 3500 sf of interior space.

- "5 star, beautiful property and kind host. Property and house are well kept and maintained" - "Perfect home for a group of families with children. Sharon was an excellent host and the location couldn’t have been better right in the water" - "We loved the house and the property. I enjoyed looking around and seeing my family and friends enjoying all the activities the property has to offer. The lake felt great and so did the beds!" - "The property did not disappoint!! Plenty of room and large property for kids to play and our family to relax. Sharon was fantastic and we will be back!!"

- "The Lake house was beautiful and even better than advertised. The house was clean and had all the amenities that you’d want in a the house. We brought our kayaks and we’re able to drive the trailer down to the dock to get them in the water. We went out in the lake every day - the water was warm enough to swim in and was great for kayaking. Our host Tom was awesome - he made sure that we had everything we needed and responded quickly when we had a question. We’re looking forward to coming back here again!"

- "The property managers were both very sweet and welcoming along with respecting our privacy which allowed us to feel the sense of separation from the everyday hustle, and bustle. They even went as far as leaving us a mini charcuterie board and angle food cake with fresh fruit that we were able to enjoy after dinner on our actual anniversary day. ❤️. Our dogs loved the size of the property and free range which definitely helped with calming their energy level at night!"

Unwind in the serene beauty of the Sierra Foothills at this spacious home, just a 2-hour drive from the Bay Area. Nestled on fenced 5 acres, this home is the perfect retreat for privacy and relaxation.

Take a soak in the hot tub with lake views, watch a movie in the well appointed living room, prepare exquisite meals in the spacious gourmet kitchen and refine your mixology in the full-scale wet bar. Go paddle boarding on the lake, biking or play ping-pong, pickleball or badminton. Although there is a way to access the lake half a mile from the house, it is a rugged spot and a muddy shore, not a beach or a scenic hangout.

- "Spacious yet cozy retreat in a beautiful setting." - "We all enjoyed our stay very much, this home had everything, even little things that don't always make the list like butter, cinnamon or fresh garlic. This kitchen truly was my dream kitchen, my daughter especially loved the espresso machine, she was familiar with it and wowed us with making us a wonderful cup as we enjoyed the views of the lake. We saw wild turkeys, lots of deer and humming birds right out the kitchen window. Getting to the lake was not as easy but we did made it on the lake and went paddle boarding. We also enjoyed the hot tub while enjoying the views. This home was amazing love love it!!"

We are the third generation owners of this amazing family lake house. It has been in our family for over 50 years. The house sits atop one of the coves of Lake Combie, where you can enjoy the views and breathe the fresh northern California air. Fishing, kayaking, stand up paddling, water sports, etc. are all part of the Lake Combie experience. Close to mountain bike trails in Auburn and skiing in Tahoe, you can book this retreat anytime of the year. Get out of the city and come enjoy some peace and quiet on our 2.5 acre lake front property. The lake is full from June-Sept. We have a wonderful lakefront spot with private dock. I spent my childhood summers up here enjoying every second of the beauty that surrounds the property. A place to come explore, find yourself, and enjoy escaping reality. Come visit us, we would love to have you!!

*Due to a golden mussel issue-no outside boats allowed this summer* Please do not book if needing to bring a boat.

- "We spent the holiday weekend with extended family at Lake Combie. The setting and house couldn’t have been more perfect. The open layout of the house gives the feeling of ample space, even with every room being filled with guests. The house is spotless, with an excess supply of linens, cookware, and toiletries. The property gives perfect access to Lake Combie, located in one of the coves off the main portion of the lake. The little sandy beach and boat dock are the essence of the property, which invite you stay lakeside the entire day. Lisa is a great host, very responsive and provided great communication before, during and after our stay. We look forward to future trips to Meadow Vista!"

If you are looking to just get away from it all, you can do that too with all the interior amenities you could want or need.

The cabin can accommodate 3, but more comfortable with 2-3 as we have a queen bed in the loft, and a small pull out sleeper sofa down below for 1+. The cabin and kitchen pod are separate buildings connected by a wrap around deck as your outdoor dining space. The kitchen pod is fully setup to bring your culinary dreams to life.

Guest access
The neighborhood is a rural ranch community. When you arrive, you will find a double wide black gate with a chain wrapped around. Feel free to open and keep it open during your stay. Please park anywhere in the gravel parking area.

Other things to note
The queen bed is located in the loft of the cabin. In order to access the bed, you will need to climb a short ladder into the loft.
