Welcome to our car-shop themed small home offering high style, high tech, and plush comfort. Newly built, freshly furnished, and stylishly decorated; with an open concept living-dining area and a dedicated work station. Lounge on our inviting, deep couch in front of a 75” smart tv + free wifi; or make a meal in our fully equipped kitchen that offers a cocktail making kit and an assortment of coffee/tea pods. We are a short walk from Old Town Auburn, yet only minutes from our beloved outdoors. The space Dean's Garage is a detached building that shares the property with the owner's house. Ideal for one or two guests. It has its own gated space with a level concrete patio covered by a shade sail and cozy string lights; and steps up to a landscaped petite side yard. The house is 540 sq ft, with a separate one bedroom (queen-sized bed, Casper mattress), one bathroom (walk-in shower, Toto washlet, towel warmer), stacked laundry and a full linen closet. This little house has 7 windows, each with light blocking shades or curtains. Our theme follows Dean’s lifetime love of all things vroom and braap, and we had fun decorating: foraged and hand assembled a lot of our own wall art and some things we found on Etsy. Our Neighborhood Piled onto a small hillside during the 1800s Gold Rush period, today our little corner has fast access to both Sacramento/Lake Tahoe (I-80 East or West) or Nevada City/Grass Valley (Hwy 49 North). Our oak-lined, quiet residential street is flanked by a feed store and the old cemetery on one end and a small creek on the other. Our neighbors mostly work in the local trades, leave early and get home mid afternoon, then like to walk their dogs in the evenings. It is a 5-minute, easy stroll to old town, but we are lacking sidewalks at some places. Guest access It is a smooth concrete path from the street's curbside through the black metal gate to the cottage's front door. There is a short 4" rise to step inside; once indoors there are no height differences, just level flooring everywhere.
