The kids had a great time feeding and petting the animals and riding the horses. It was such a peaceful getaway and Pam the host was so charming and helpful. The nearby towns of Penn Valley and Nevada city were higher end then a lot of the other western towns I had been to around California and had some great dining options. We were able to visit the mining museum and stop over in Tahoe to see some snow for the kids. The estate also had a great hot tub and we were able to bbq steaks at night and there was plenty of outdoor space for dining. We had a great restful time and it was a great weekend getaway. Pam even made us home made breakfast and dinner which was also delightful! Highly recommend!

(VRBO is a pain the &$%#, book through her site or direct contact)…read more I booked a weekend at Vaquera Ranch, I'll never forget it. I searched and searched for the perfect place and this was it. I was traveling with family and friends, including two energetic 7 year old girls who are nuts for animals (with the attention span of a gnat). Pam's place is majestic, a quick hour to skiing, hiking, etc. At first we felt we were MILES into the sticks but once we got our bearings it was a very quick 10-minute drive out to the store. We didn't cook much but if we had to there were pots and pans, a nice-sized cuisinart hot plate (everything there is top of the line!!), a Kuerig coffee pot with biodegradable pods (which we appreciated). The wine fridge was enough to keep some groceries if you wanted. And by groceries, I stored beer in there. The kids loved movie night on the big screen TV, doing crafts around the beautiful kitchen table, and of course going down to see the horses. The large tub, we couldnt get them out of it...which was absolutely perfect, they were filthy at the end of each day! We enjoyed the massive show the sky gave us come night time! Stars galore! Pam was over the top generous with her time. Memories of the ranch and the space Pam has created for her furry, four-legged family will live warmly in our hearts until we return.

I try my best to be friendly to them but sometimes it's very difficult. They are very strict and sometimes, one man insists on staring at me, one of the woman bus driver bullies me, talking too much about her personal issues and her traumatic past in a threatening way. I wish they would just be quiet and drive. A few drivers also drive very fast, and reckless. There are maybe, one or two good drivers that I possibly would trust, but I rarely see them. It's also very expensive. I like riding with a companion, this feels much safer.

How do you become a regular at a welcome center? Well she took me for the first time. Good size and clean. HUGE unisex restroom. Plenty of souvenirs to buy. Lots of history to study. Atmosphere - See pictures and read above. Service - So welcoming. Gave me a pamphlet for the local wineries and breweries. This might be my new "Livermore?!?!" Price - Free. Well, it depends if you buy souvenirs. Owner Comment - Thank you for such a welcoming center, pun intended.

The employees at this Auburn Visitor Center and the volunteers at this Visitor Center are very knowledgable not only of Auburn, but also other towns of Placer County. There are Visitor Guides of different towns of California. Go by districts, so as example, Bay Area, Monterey area, San Joaquin County, Southern California. One time two of them telling me stories of the Women Prison at the museum at Historic Court House. It is actually outside the Court House, if one looks, there was small area for the bed, the sink, and the toilet. Very first time I ever visited Auburn, asked of Forgotten Soldier Program Park. Wow, it is walkable of this Auburn Visitor Center. Now this to me strange. There also Placer County Visitor Center. I am fourth person for that. What is strange it is exact address, same directions, same telephone number.

January 10, 2025 - Colfax, CA…read more I travel quite a bit and have visited more rest areas than I can count, and this one really stood out. The grounds are beautiful--pine trees, picnic tables, and small walking trails--and it was surprisingly quiet and peaceful. I stopped at both the eastbound and westbound rest areas. The eastbound side is a bit nicer overall, with more space and a calmer feel. Both restrooms were clean, though my westbound stop was later in the day and it showed--some stalls were out of toilet paper. Still, for a public restroom along the freeway, this was very much appreciated and a genuinely pleasant place to take a break.

I remembered seeing the Divide Taxi in front of Holiday Market one day, did a quick Google search, and found their FB page with a phone number. The local Auburn cab service never returned our call. Divide Taxi Service had another fare coming to town leaving soon, so we had to wait just a little while. We had enough time to have dinner, and were picked up just after paying the dinner tab. Suzanne drove us right to our front door (of course), and rates were very reasonable. I've booked her for an airport shuttle for an upcoming trip. Divide Taxi also delivers from all of our local restaurants! No website yet, but here is the FB page: http://www.facebook.com/Dividetaxiservices This is a great service that we really needed on The Divide.

I asked about the pricing for their private pilot and other programs, and she didn't even know the ballpark price. If anything, she seemed annoyed that I asked her to find out. She informed me there was a 6-month waiting list in a flabbergasted manner. She could have inspired more confidence in their program but just made it seem as if they were not interested in my business. It has always been my dream to become a pilot. I now have the time to dedicate to this; Alpine was my closest school to home. It's a shame as I am sure they have a good instructor based on the reviews, but I will not be following up with them. I spoke to another flight school in the area near Auburn which was a much friendlier and informative experience. They were excited to tell me about their program and broke everything down for me as I am a beginner. I scheduled my intro flight with them.
