Peaceful Birdwatchers Paradise
We stayed the weekend before Christmas. Lots of activities and shopping in the town of Columbia and nearby Sonora. Excellent spot in the foothills with many birds to watch right out the door. The bungalow was immaculate (and nicely decorated with original artwork and mosaics) and had everything we needed. We would definitely stay again and recommend to friends. We were warm and cozy in our little cottage!

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.

Great little house
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. This place is very well equipped with everything you could need. We loved that there is a fenced yard that my dog could explore and stay contained. There were farm fresh eggs in the fridge which was a very nice touch.

Birthday Escape
Wonderful little cabin in a serene setting, close to the state historic park. This is our second time in the area and we just love it. It’s a short drive to Pinecrest lake and Dodge ridge for snow play and snowboarding. We look forward to coming back.

Charming cottage
We loved the privacy, charm and comfort of this bungalow. We loved the art and the cute garden. We visited old town Columbia, Murphys, Angel’s Camp, and Sonora. Our friends stayed at the RV park just minutes away. Would have been nice to stay a bit longer.

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!

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!

Great Getaway For Solo Traveler
The bungalow is an escape from your every day life. When i entered it smelled amazing, like no one else had ever been there. I was worried when i booked because it is my first time going to a dog friendly house. The trails in the area were perfect for my dog and me. We had all the kitchen items we needed to make breakfasts and dinner. The house didn't feel crowded but airy and light, so very welcoming for me and my pup.

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…..

A lovely retreat.
Our hosts were the tops, checking with us to ensure everything was okay and if we needed anything. The property was exactly if not better than described. We brought our little dog and he seemed to enjoy his spacious private yard. We cooked our own breakfast and a couple of dinners there and then enjoyed quiet evenings. Easy to find location and pretty central to the Columbia, Jamestown, Sonora area. I'd like to come back, maybe for a spring or fall couple of nights. I like to gaze at the stars, if you do too bring your binoculars and enjoy a beautiful show in the dark, quiet skys above.

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!
