A King In Both Bedrooms
Two kings rather than a king and a queen, which is the reason two couples travelling together usually take this house and send the children next door.
The back lawn, fenced the whole way round
Auburn · Placer County, California
Two kings,
a Traeger,
and a yard
for the dog.
The Pilots Lounge 2 is a completely remodelled 1,200 square foot, two-bedroom house in Auburn, California. It has one full and one half bathroom, a gas kitchen, laundry in the house, a garage, a smart TV in every room and its own fully fenced back yard with a Traeger pellet smoker under the pergola. It sleeps six on two king beds and an air mattress, and takes two dogs. Its twin, The Pilots Lounge, is the house next door, on its own calendar: book both and a group of twelve gets two kitchens and four bathrooms. A club car and a hangar are available to pilots flying into Auburn Municipal, KAUN.

The House
Two kings,
one vaulted
room, and
a smoker.
Open plan, vaulted ceiling, gas kitchen, new bathrooms and real beds. One single-storey house on a quiet lane, five minutes from Highway 80 and about the same from the airport.
Two bedrooms with a king in each, a full bathroom and a half bathroom, a living room with a sectional, a dining table for six, laundry in the house, a garage and a back yard fenced the whole way round. Entry is by smart lock, so there is no key handoff and nobody to meet.
There is a second house next door, The Pilots Lounge, built to the same standard with its own calendar. Booked together the two give a group of twelve two kitchens, four bathrooms and two yards, which is a better shape for a reunion or a race weekend than one large house with one kitchen and a queue for the shower.
What People Book It For
Six reasons
this house
goes first
with couples.
Auburn is a working town with a lot of short stays: contractors, race weekends, pilots, relocations and families visiting. This house is built for that.
A Traeger Under The Pergola
A pellet smoker on the back patio, with the table and chairs beside it. Once the sun drops behind the trees this is the room everyone ends up in.
A Fenced Back Yard
Fenced the whole way round, with grass and shade. Two dogs welcome, and there is a pet welcome basket, bowls and waste bags waiting inside.
The Hot Cocoa Bar
A small thing that comes up in reviews more than anything expensive did. Cocoa, marshmallows and the mugs, set out from the first cold week of the year.
A Desk At The Window
A desk with a proper office chair rather than a dining chair dragged over, set at the window with the field behind it, and the wifi to go with it.
A Smart TV In Every Room
Living room and both bedrooms, so nobody has to negotiate. This is the one real difference inside between this house and the one next door.
What Is In It
Stocked to
cook in,
not just
sleep in.
A gas range, a full-size fridge and freezer with an ice maker, a dishwasher, a Keurig, a kettle and the pots, pans, plates, mugs and wine glasses to cook properly for six.
Laundry in the house, a desk and office chair, smart TVs in every room, air conditioning, full-size toiletries, labelled spare linen, a garage and free parking. Entry is by smart lock, so there is no key handoff and nobody to meet.
This is the house with the Traeger pellet smoker under the pergola and a king in both bedrooms. Next door at The Pilots Lounge you get a Level 2 EV charger and a sleeper sofa instead. Everything else is matched on purpose.

Proof, not a promise
What we tell you before you book. The house sleeps six: two king beds and an air mattress, so the sixth guest is on the air mattress rather than a third bed. It is 1,200 square feet with one full and one half bathroom. Dogs are $125 each, up to two, 65 pounds or under, house trained and crated if you leave them. Do not follow a map app in from Highway 49; we send the right way in with your arrival notes. The primary renter must be 25 or over. The house next door is a separate booking on a separate calendar: taking this one does not hold that one.
Where You Sleep
Two kings,
and nobody
drawing the
short straw.
Two bedrooms with a king in each, one full bathroom and a half bathroom. An air mattress makes up the sixth bed.
A king, a smart TV on the wall, a lamp and a charging point on each side, and a wardrobe with hangers that match.
A second king rather than a queen, with its own smart TV. This is the room that makes the house work for two couples.
A tiled walk-in shower, a vanity with storage, and the full-size toiletries and folded towels put out fresh for each stay.
A separate half bathroom off the hall, so six people are not sharing one door in the morning.

Every photo of The Pilots Lounge 2, in our own listing order.
Great place. Just like the photos. Everything is very high quality. Hosts were quick to answer all of my questions. Very quiet at night even though its just a few minutes from stores and restaurants.
Airbnb review
Kitchen fully equipped, I had to cook a few things and it had all I needed. They have nice coffee and hot cocoa. Nice touch! Their bathroom products were so nice! Beds and Beddings super comfortable.
Airbnb review
The house is beautifully decorated with a cozy kitchen/living room, super comfortable and quiet bedrooms, and a perfect backyard for our little pup.

Your Hosts
Two houses on one lane only works if they are actually the same standard. So they are.
We are Patti and Michael, and we own and run Stay With The Saades. The Pilots Lounge is where we learned to run a pair rather than a single: the same linen, the same toiletries, the same cookware and the same cleaning checklist in both houses, so nobody who books the other one feels they drew the short straw.
Arrival instructions go out before you drive up, with the smart lock code, the route in and where everything lives. When you message us you get one of us, not a support queue. If something breaks on a Saturday night we would rather hear about it on Saturday night than read about it in a review.
Stay With The Saades manages homes across North Lake Tahoe, the Sacramento area, Auburn, Amador County and the Florida panhandle.
Getting Around
Auburn,
and the
foothills
behind it.
Auburn sits where the Sacramento valley turns into the Sierra foothills, on the old Gold Rush road. It is five minutes from Highway 80, which makes it the practical base for everything between Sacramento and Tahoe.
Craft breweries, restaurants and the grocery run are all under five minutes, and the nearest brewery is about a mile. Auburn Municipal Airport (KAUN) is minutes away, and for guests flying themselves in there is a club car and a hangar available.
Auburn State Recreation Area and the confluence of the American River's forks are right below the town, which is why this is endurance country: the Western States trail, the Tevis Cup and more hiking and riding than one trip can cover. Tahoe is about an hour on.

Drive times, rounded, from our own notes rather than a routing service. One thing worth repeating: do not take the obvious turning in from Highway 49. We send the right route with your arrival notes, and it saves a wrong lane in the dark.
Before You Book
Questions
we answer
every week.
If yours is not here, message us. We answer these ourselves.
Is this the same house as The Pilots Lounge?
No. They are two separate houses next door to each other, with separate calendars and separate smart locks. This one sleeps six on two king beds and an air mattress, and has the Traeger under the pergola. Booking this one does not hold the other, so if you want both for a group of twelve, book both and tell us so we set them up as one arrival.
Which one should we take?
Take this one if you are two couples who both want a king, or if somebody wants the smoker. Take the house next door if you are charging an electric car, or travelling with children and want the sleeper sofa so five and six are not sharing a bedroom. The kitchens, the bathrooms, the linen, the laundry and the yards are matched.
Can we bring dogs?
Yes, up to two at 65 pounds or under, $125 each. The yard is fenced the whole way round, and there is a pet basket in the house with bowls, waste bags and furniture covers. We ask that they are house trained, flea treated and crated if you go out without them.
We are flying into Auburn. Is that useful?
Very. Auburn Municipal, KAUN, is minutes away, and a club car and a hangar are available to guests flying themselves in. Tell us your tail number and your arrival time when you book and we will sort it out before you land.
What are check-in and check-out times?
Check-in is after 3:00 PM and check-out is before 10:00 AM. Entry is by smart lock, so there is no key handoff. One thing to read in your arrival notes rather than guess: do not approach from Highway 49, because the obvious turning is not the one you want.

Payment And Cancellation
What you pay, and when
Half of the total is due when you book. The other half is charged automatically 30 days before you arrive, and we email you before it runs. Nothing is collected at the house. Booking both houses means two reservations and two schedules.
If you have to cancel
More than 60 days before arrival, 97% of the total comes back. Inside 60 days there is no refund. Separately, every booking has a 48 hour grace period for a full refund, as long as you booked at least 4 days before arrival.
The deposit hold
A $500 hold goes on your card 3 days before arrival. It is a hold and not a charge, so the money is never taken, and it drops off 4 days after checkout unless something is broken.
Two housekeeping items. Everyone on the reservation signs a short rental agreement before we send the door code. Travel insurance is offered at checkout and is optional.
