lovely cabin with beautiful sunsets

I stayed here for a week and then added two more days because I loved it so much. It is a very sweet, private cabin with a lovelybackyard from which youcan watch the turkeys and deer mosey on by.But my favorite was the absolutely gorgeous sunset every night.

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!

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 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.

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.
