Lovely stay in Gold Country

The bungalow was perfect - clean, cozy, private with a fully fenced yard for our pup, too! Kim was a dream to work with. Only 20 minutes to Murphys, less than 45 minutes to Big Trees and walking distance to the cute historic town of Columbia. Just an awesome visit!

Another great stay

This was a return trip for us and it was as wonderful as the last time. They put in new furniture in the living area. While we were sitting on the patio, we saw a couple deer walking by and we also saw a turkey of all things. There were also some humming birds in the garden and we really liked watching them. This place has everything you could need for a comfortable stay, just need to bring some groceries. If you forget anything there is a SaveMart nearby in Sonora. The owners are really great and very responsive with communication. We'll definitely be back!

Great snowy stay!

Great location and clean, cute, artsy house. Hosts Kim and Carl made sure we were ok even when a late spring snow storm knocked out power and closed the roads for a day—nice and snug.

The hosts are thoughtful all the way to the least detail - from their information rich “stay” folder complete with solid suggestions on activities to the birthday card for my wife and fresh eggs. It was a memorable experience - one of the best.

All the comforts of home

The place was exactly as advertised with everything you could need including a full kitchen with dishes, full size appliances, cooking utensils, etc. Communication with the hosts was excellent and the check in and check out was as simple as possible. It was so tranquil and quiet but still walking distance to Columbia. We'll definitely be back!

Heavenly bungalow

The wife and I were pleasantly surprised, the online pics could not express the charm and beauty or the vibe- you had to be there for yourself the back patio is awesome we took in the mosaic’s, the floral and fauna really sets the mood! We definitely felt the love and joy and took in the fruits of another’s labor for sure, inside was much the same adorned with amazing art and all the comforts of home and then some including farm fresh eggs left for us by the owner a nice touch to say the least! Columbia state park is just down the street and we enjoyed hanging out there, great place indeed. Thanks again for allowing us to hang out for a couple days we’ll be back soon…..

Beautiful house and garden

This is a wonderful cottage in a quiet peaceful setting. Downtown Columbia is right down the hill and Sonora 8 minutes away so you are in the woods but close to activities. But the best part is relaxing on the private patio while our little dog explored the fenced in garden. We didn't want to leave!
