Peaceful Lakehouse on Spectacular Vineyard Estate
Guest rating: 5.0 / 5
Overview
Peaceful Lakehouse on Spectacular Vineyard Estate is a newly remodeled ranch house with a modern farmhouse design on the SAUREEL VINEYARDS estate in North Auburn, in the heart of El Dorado County. The setting is a picturesque equestrian and agricultural ranch with lakefront and vineyard views, designed for quiet, serene stays as well as equestrian stopovers. The home is one of several residences on the estate, and the owner also lives on-site in a separate home.
Space & layout
The rental is a 3-bedroom, 2-bath home with a maximum occupancy of six guests (no exceptions). Air conditioning, a kitchen, cable TV, a washer, and free parking are provided, and the property is smoke-free. Note: a separate bridal-party dressing room exists for wedding-event renters; for standard getaway stays it is closed off and not accessible.
Lake, views & ranch activities
Guests come for blissful mornings and sunset views from the porch overlooking the private wildlife lake. The lake is designated as an eco lake (swimming is not allowed), but “catch and release” bass fishing and paddle boat use are offered for a fee ($20/day per person). Horse boarding and access to an equine facility with indoor and outdoor arenas are available for travelers moving cross-country with horses.
Events & booking rules
This listing is for lodging only and is booked exclusively through VRBO; the reservation is considered confirmed only after signing the vacation rental agreement and providing identification within 24 hours of booking. Events (including weddings) require the owner’s prior written approval and a separate event contract; booking the home with intent to hold an event without approval may result in cancellation. Minimum stay is at least two nights.
Nearby dining & access
The property sits within driving distance of several local dining options, including Spice Kitchen (modern Indian, about 1.6 km away), The Brick Oven Pub (pizza, about 4.7 km away), and Geartooth Alewerks (about 4.6 km away), along with multiple American restaurants such as Main Street Taphouse and Bricks Eats & Drinks (roughly 7–8 km away). Sacramento International Airport is the nearest major airport, about 62 km away.
Best for
This ranch lakehouse is best for travelers seeking a quiet, scenic getaway, with standout lakefront/vineyard views and a porch for sunrise and sunset watching. It also suits equestrian travelers thanks to optional horse boarding and an on-site equine facility with indoor/outdoor arenas. Small wedding parties can use it as a wedding-weekend home only when the event is separately approved and contracted (additional fees and rules apply).
Travel tips
Plan for a two-night minimum stay and note that booking is only confirmed after you sign the vacation rental agreement and provide ID within 24 hours of booking. If you want to fish or use the paddle boats on the private lake, budget the additional $20/day per person fee and arrange payment as directed by the host. Swimming is not allowed in the eco lake, so plan other water activities off-site if that’s a priority.
