Dean's Garage: Deluxe Cottage for Moto Enthusiasts
Guest rating: 5.0 / 5
Overview
Dean’s Garage is a newly built, car-shop themed deluxe cottage in North Auburn designed for privacy, with no shared walls. It’s a detached building on the same property as the owner’s house, with its own gated outdoor space. The cottage is compact (about 540 sq ft) and is described as ideal for one or two guests.
Layout & Comfort
Inside is an open-concept living area plus a dedicated work station, along with one separate bedroom and one bathroom. The bathroom features a walk-in shower, a Toto washlet, and a towel warmer, and the unit includes stacked laundry and a full linen closet. There are seven windows with light-blocking shades or curtains, and the cottage includes air conditioning and heating for year-round comfort.
In-Unit Kitchen & Tech
Guests have a fully equipped kitchen with an oven stove and microwave for simple meals and longer stays. For entertainment and connectivity, the cottage includes cable TV, a large 75-inch smart TV, and free Wi‑Fi.
Outdoor Space & Parking
Outdoor areas include a level concrete patio covered by a shade sail, accented with string lights, plus steps up to a landscaped petite side yard. Free parking is available on-site.
Location & Access
The cottage is a short walk from Old Town Auburn and offers quick access to the freeway, making it convenient for exploring the area by car. No specific nearby attractions are otherwise documented in the available listing details.
Best for
Best suited to solo travelers and couples who want a private, stylish space with a distinctive moto/car-shop theme and no shared walls. It also fits longer stays thanks to the full kitchen, washer, and blackout-style window coverings, plus easy freeway access and on-site free parking.
Travel tips
Plan to arrive by car if you want maximum flexibility—free parking is provided and the cottage has quick freeway access. If you want a walkable outing, Old Town Auburn is noted as a short walk from the property. Because the cottage shares a property with the owner’s house, expect a separate, detached unit with its own gated area rather than a large resort-style campus.
