2 Bedroom Cabin in the Woods
Guest rating: 4.9 / 5
Overview
2 Bedroom Cabin in the Woods is a small, vintage cabin-style stay in North Auburn, set on roughly 1.5 acres at the edge of a canyon. Though it feels secluded—reached via a long driveway with only three nearby homes—it’s positioned to be convenient to Auburn services and town access. Guests note a cozy, rustic character paired with functional, modern updates and a peaceful “in the woods” atmosphere with occasional wildlife sightings.
Layout & Sleeping
The cabin is approximately 900 sq ft and dates to the 1940s, with two bedrooms located upstairs and the main living areas on the ground floor. Sleeping includes a California king in one bedroom, plus a full bed and a twin trundle in the other. The single bathroom is on the main level, along with the living room, kitchen/dining area, and laundry.
Amenities & Outdoor Space
This is a self-catering cabin with a full kitchen setup (oven/stove and microwave), plus a washer, heating and air conditioning, and free Wi‑Fi and cable TV. Outdoor features include a balcony/patio area and an outdoor grill suited to deck BBQs and evening stargazing. The property is smoke-free, offers free parking, and is both kid-friendly and pet-friendly; a crib is also available.

For transit access, Alta Vista (bus stop) is about 231 m away, with Auburn Townhouses (bus) around 389 m and Foothill Market (bus) around 628 m.

Check-in & House Rules
Check-in is self-service via a smart lock, using the last four digits of your phone number for access. The interior door can be locked while you’re inside, but guests are instructed not to lock it when leaving to avoid lockout. A maximum of 7 guests may be on the property at one time without prior host approval, and fees are listed for early check-in, late check-out, smoking (high-fire area), and key replacement.
Best for
This cabin suits couples, small groups, and families who want a quiet, wooded retreat with outdoor space for grilling and relaxing, while still being close to Auburn’s dining and transit options. It’s also a strong fit for longer or self-sufficient stays thanks to the full kitchen, washer, free parking, and Wi‑Fi. Pet owners looking for a smoke-free, rural-feeling base near town will also find it practical.
Travel tips
Plan for stairs: both bedrooms are upstairs, while the only bathroom is downstairs on the main floor. If arriving without a car, the nearest bus stop (Alta Vista) is about 231 m away; Auburn Train Station is about 2.0 km away. Follow the smart-lock instructions carefully and do not lock the interior door when leaving, as it can cause a lockout.
