About this house rental
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.
For protection of our guests and property, there are two security cameras with a view of the driveway entrance area.

Road in from highway was challenging but fine. Yard ok for pets (on and under deck)

Our experience at Riverbend Retreat was excellent upon arrival to departure. We couldn’t have asked for anything more to make our stay a complete success. Everything was furnished and ready for us to enjoy our Thanksgiving feast with our grown kids and grandkids. The sound of the river in the backyard with a spectacular view was the icing on the cake or pumpkin pie!

Pics don’t do this justice. A wonderful property with everything you could possibly need. The whole family wanted to stay in vs going out to do activities. Definitely recommend to get away and enjoy some peaceful time right at natures doorstep.

Everything about our stay was perfect. The house was very well stocked and it seemed like they thought of everything. We had an amazing, relaxing weekend.
