The space
Dean's Garage is a detached building that shares the urban lot 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 consisting of small homes on small lots, 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, residential street is flanked by a feed store and the old cemetery on one end and a small creek on the other. It is a generally a low-traffic neighborhood, and quiet at nights. 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, which is on the other side of the freeway, 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.

The neighborhood
An older neighborhood nested at the intersection I80 and Hwy 49, right across from the Maple Street bridge. It is a short walk to Old Town restaurants and shops. Tree-lined street, with lots of smaller homes. There is an old cemetery at the end of the street.
Getting around
You'll be able to park on the street, at the dedicated curb cut, right in front of the cottage. It is a 5-minute, easy stroll to old town, which is on the other side of the freeway, but we are lacking sidewalks at some places.

We’ve stayed at several different kinds of places across the western US over the past couple of years. This place has to be the nicest and most up-to-date one we’ve stayed in. It was simply wonderful. We will put this place on the top of my list for any future trips to this area.
One of the best airbnbs I’ve stayed at! So many thoughtful comfort items - they truly went above and beyond with convenience items, quality items (the bed is so comfy, lux pillows and sheets etc). Incredibly clean and well put together. Perfect.
Clever, comfortable, clean place in a quiet, convenient corner of town. Outstanding in every way.
This wonderful guest house checks all the boxes. Everything you need, comfortable bed, thoughtful details, lots of smart home features, private outdoor space, quiet neighborhood, and accommodating and communicative hosts. Conveniently located near freeway and walking distance to old town, Auburn. I won’t hesitate to stay here again in the future. No need to look further!
This is home away from home! We absolutely love this beautiful gem of a place! We have stayed here multiple times and will continue to be returning guest! Already rebooked! Very responsive host, amazing home and it gets better each time we stay! Very clean, easy to find, cozy and we love the little extra finishing touches they provide! Thank you as always for another wonderful stay! :)
I had a great stay, everything was super clean and modern. The space was very comfortable. The location was super convenient, close to the highway but not noisy. It made it very easy to get around the area. I would recommend staying here to anyone visiting the area. Thank you Aniko and Dean!
We enjoyed our stay very much! There is nothing I didn’t like. The inside is adorable with the custom touches. Loved the furniture, large TV. The bed is very comfortable. The hosts were amazing. Love the landscaping. This is a 5 star place. When we come back to Auburn we will definitely stay here again.
Well worth the stay at the garage! This was one of the nicest places we have been that offered a unique theme that was well thought out and very cool with the small touches especially the art! Pristine condition with a killer sound system for the massive TV, beautiful outdoor lighting and overall very cool, great job on the place Aniko :) Be back again soon!
