The unit is cozy and very functional. The woodstove was a nice touch during December. Our group of 8 was able to fit (snuggly) without a problem. Morgan and Jared were easy to communicate with and very responsive. Check in was a breeze and so was check out. Would recommend and stay again.

We took our three adult daughters to a party to celebrate my Moms life (she passed June 20th). We picked this as it was close to Rocklin, where my sister lives and the celebration would be held.
In short, this was just the perfect house; felt like we were getting away from it all, deep in a forest. We watched movies one night, and spent two around a fire out front. Plenty of space, quiet, and out in nature, but 15 minutes away from a grocery store and tons of great food places in Lincoln. Went to wine and brew country not 15ninutes away as well.

I used this location for my bridesmaids to stay with me and have a place to get ready for my wedding, and then my husband and I stayed the following night. The house is well appointed, plenty of space, and the grounds are BEAUTIFUL! I just wish we weren't so busy for the event so that we could have enjoyed the property more. Look for us on an anniversary trip! :)

From second one to second done, this was the perfect trip in the most perfect place. Morgan went above and beyond to help my Dad surprise us with a gift already in the house waiting for us! She was communicative, and had great response time! The house was perfect, VERY comfortable, and absolutely beautiful! We decided to make a yearly adventure here! Thank you for everything!

Fabulous for a family of 8! Pool and hit tub, creek and natural grounds are breathtaking. Banana bread with cinnamon was a fantastic, eat every last crumb, joy!

Such a lovely escape! We really appreciated how it felt like a little oasis without really being all that far from Lincoln. The proximity made it easy to explore parks with the toddler in the mornings and then spend the rest of the day enjoying the pool and playing in the creek. The house was clean and comfortable and had everything we needed. Morgan was extremely communicative and was sweet enough to leave us with a loaf of delicious banana bread. Had something for everyone in our family group of various ages. Would stay here again.

We had a wonderful family vacation at this beautiful location. Loved the pool area and going to cool off in the creek on a very, very, hot weekend! The owners are great and very helpful and accommodating! What a fantastic spot.

It’s hard to capture the beauty and size of this property with pictures. The house had more than all the amenities we needed, but it’s the yard, stream, pool and fire pits (plural) that make this place magical. I *almost* wanted to keep this rental to ourselves by not publicizing this hidden gem, but the owners were so considerate and thoughtful that I actually want them to rent it out as much as possible! Morgan and family had excellent communication and were very patient and accommodating. They even provided bug spray for the mosquitoes. Their care for the large property, and those little details, is what made our trip so enjoyable. All 6 of us (3 adults, 3 kids (11-14 YO), and 2 dogs) slept comfortably in the house, with room to spare. We cooked huge dinners, played by the river, climbed on rocks, and sat by the pool…but mostly we talked about how much we wanted to come back.

Perfect stay for our family and dog! Beautiful wooded area with creek, fire pits and chairs for s’mores, access to a beautiful pool. Everything was clean and the host was very responsive. We would definitely stay again!

Wish our trip could’ve been longer! The property is absolutely beautiful and wonderfully quiet. The house was very tidy and clean, and our hosts thought of everything. We were very appreciative of the clear communication as well.

My friends and I really enjoyed our stay at Morgan’s peaceful country property! We were all very happy with the accommodations, and enjoyed a few hours in the lovely pool. Freshly baked banana bread was a bonus to a clean, stylish and comfortable home. I look forward to future stays with Morgan!

We had a great visit. The house a is perfect layout for 2 families. We had my in-laws in the downstairs rooms, and my husband, baby and I took the upstairs. The property is gorgeous. We loved walking around down by the water. The location is ideal for running in to Lincoln easily for food/activities but still feeling like you’re far out into nature when you’re at the house. The fresh banana bread was a wonderful touch from the hosts. We would love to stay again. Also - a local restaurant recommendation - we ordered take out from Rum Thai Bistro. So good!

Such a fantastic retreat at an amazing property. From the babbling creek, lush gardens, cute styling of the bungalow (with a pellet stove and home made banana bread to boot), I would stay again in a heartbeat! WE LOVED our time here.

The place was nice. One thing to mention is the "floral" scent was a bit strong.

This is a fantastic property, stocked with everything you would need and very clean. Communication with Morgan was super easy and she responded quickly and with everything you needed to know. You really feel like you are far away in the oaks next to the stream but within 15 minutes you have stores and restaurants galore. Wonderful stay ...... we would definitely stay here again.

This property was great and as so many other reviewers have said, Morgan's banana bread was delicious! We were a group of 5 adults going to a concert in Wheatland who came from different locations. This was the perfect place to gather! Very comfortable, very scenic and I have never been to a rental that had as many pots and pans! We could actually cook full meals. I hope to visit this property again!

This property is so beautiful and such an amazing place to stay at!! Morgan was always available for any questions and made us some incredible banana bread for a welcome treat! We were there for a womens yoga/wellness retreat and loved being able to do yoga by the pool and the river! The house was so clean and the kitchen really was fully stocked, perfect for entertaining!! We all can’t wait to go back again!!

My friend and I had an amazing time at this property. It's absolutely beautiful and it's very quiet. The river is really beautiful to fish in or just to sit by and listen. We will be bringing water shoes next time so we can walk in it. It's really close to the cute town of Lincoln. Everything we needed was provided. The pool was amazing, so was the hot tub. Morgan and Jared have thought of everything at this property. They even have a large Bluetooth speaker so you can play your music when you're at the pool and rafts! The twinkle lights around the property and at the pool give it a very quaint feel. The outside shower at the pool is amazing and the pool house was nice because we could use the restroom in there. The barn kittens were an added bonus. They are very sweet and were fun to play with. I had the upstairs bedroom and I loved it because it had its own AC unit. I am always hot. We are making this our new semi annual trip. We have already rebooked. This property is an A+. We felt very welcome, safe, and secure.

We could not have been happier with a VRBO rental.
The setting was more than you could ask for. REALLY.
House was immaculate, spacious and user friendly.
Very private with beautiful pool, fabulous creek and "California Gold" surroundings. Thank you for sharing your wonderful cottage. Please, never, ever take it off VRBO.
We will be back.

A fantastic "secret spot" that you won't want to leave. We stayed during a heat wave and the river was a glorious godsend for us and our dog. The very private cottage is fabulous and very well sorted for any sort of stay - also has two bedrooms on the ground floor (2 more and a bathroom upstairs). The pool was also amazing and refreshing. And the grass, did I mention the grass? It's out of a movie, our dog was in dog heaven - Jared and Morgan spend a huge amount of time maintaining the grounds (and everything else) in impeccable shape. What an epic and idyllic place with an amazing history and yet 5 minutes from everything. Finally, the hosts are extremely warm and welcoming. We will definetly be back.

This gem in Lincoln, Ca is exactly what my family needed in the midst of a long road trip. We stayed here for three nights while we were in town to celebrate my sister's wedding. It does not "feel" like you are in the valley. The house was wonderful and charming and the hosts were very accommodating; Morgan even prepared us fresh baked banana bread. The creek near the property was perfect for swimming and relaxing and my kids and I enjoyed it thoroughly. We were able to wake in the morning and watch the sun come up and enjoy fresh coffee on the back porch. My entire family was impressed and desired to stay longer. I cannot recommend this gem enough, you will not regret your stay. Thank you Morgan and Jared for being such amazing hosts!

Wow! This place is beautiful! We loved the comfy family feel of the home and the river at the end of the drive was magical! It is close enough to the house to make trips back and forth and perfectly shaded to hang out all day! Our kids are teens and loved it, but this would have been perfect for us when out kids were younger! The little river has a small beach and hammock. Table and chairs with a grassy area. Like Your own private little park!
Our hosts were engaging yet gave us complete privacy. We were also blessed with fresh banana bread which was delicious! We look forward to our next visit!

We had such a fun time at this property! The house was well stocked with many comforts, and it was clear that a lot of thought and care went into the place. We also appreciated that even though we were located quite near the owner’s house, they were so respectful of our privacy and we felt like we had the whole property to ourselves! The pool was gorgeous and very clean, and there was a large speaker there that was easy to hook up to our phone with Bluetooth. There’s also a creek a short walk down the hill that had fresh, cool water that our kids had so much fun playing in. Highly recommend!

Magical stay
My family loved staying at Ophir Inn! My girls love this house, and were asking when we could return even before checkout. We needed to come to Lincoln and this house was so convenientently located, comfortable, and with everything you need for cooking, bath, grill and the pool! Lovely host family, with a loaf of Banana bread at check in. We had fun at the river as well as the pool. Could not have been better. Thank you!

Generosity
In every way, Morgan and her husband offer the perfect vacation rental. The property is lovely with everything from a running stream with a sandy beach, fire pit, Adirondack chairs and sparkling night lights; to a play structure that looks like it belongs in a park; to a pool with a poolhouse bath/shower, beautiful bbq, plenty of swim toys and ample seating. The house itself has everything one could need in a first home let alone a rental. From shampoo and conditioner to laundry soap, to beach towels and extra blankets to cookie cutters. Morgan is incredibly responsive and her communication is spot on. This was our second time renting this property and we look forward to our next, which is quickly becoming a favorite family tradition.
