Great home!
This house was amazing it was like staying at a mini museum. Its an old victorian home filled with antiques. It was great because there was centual a/c so we really got to enjoy the home since it was so hot outside. It was everything we expected based on all the details provided. We would definitely stay here again.

Amazing.
What an absolute joy to stay in this house. I grew up in the Midwest and a farmhouse... This place was reminiscent of that for me. The antiquities were amazing, thank you for posting the stories about them. I loved the grounds. So gorgeous, and I will be coming back to stay when everything's in bloom ❤️. I hope we left everything as you would like it to be. And I will be returning. Thank you for sharing your beautiful space with us.

Very Special Hime
This is a magical little sanctuary. The house and gardens are all historic and perfectly kept. The wrap around veranda takes you back to imagining life when the town was built. My favourite thing of all was the old magnificent antique cooking range! It was a joy to cook on and really was a thing of beauty!!! We look forward to coming back soon…

Quaint antique house in heart of Jackson & Wine Country
The house was very comfortable with many amenities. There was a room full of books and games, kitchen stocked with cookware, appliances, spices, and more, outdoor barbecue grill. The outdoor garden was nicely landscaped and beautifully designed. Unfortunately the weather didn't allow us to soak in the hot tub. We enjoyed our stay and would definitely come back

Happy 50th
Came to town to celebrate my wife’s 50th birthday. Walked on Main Street, enjoyed the yard, played games, cooked dinner and breakfasts, barbecued, toured wineries and the town of Sutter Creek, and sat in the hot tub under the moo and stars! It was a perfect weekend!

Gold Country Thanksgiving weekend Get A Way
Follow the instructions that the rental company gives you to get to parking!! The building that you park in front of is the garage and not the house. We were in complete panic mode arriving in the dark to the property and using the code only to realize that the gorgeous house was just steps away. Our hostess checked via text and all is well, thank you Belinda! Stunning 3 bedroom Victorian Farmhouse, fenced in yard is great for kids or fur babies. Close to downtown!

Loved this old house and its grounds. Great location. All of the amenities that we want nearby. You have to be able to navigate the stairs but very worth the effort. We will definitely go back in the future. Thanks for having us.

Relaxing weekend in my home town
Very comfortable old home decorated very nicely with interesting facts included near art. Great yard for our dogs, quite location, peaceful setting. Decently appointed kitchen, and baths. I do take slight issue with being asked to wash a load of towels, run and unload dishwasher etc. We paid 150 cleaning fee+ additional fee for the dogs. I assumed that was to pay a housekeeper to service the home. I hardly made a mark having used one of the three bedrooms, and being tidy by nature. It just seems a bit much to require so many fees and expect guests to clean and launder before leaving at 11am. The cleaning and fees for the dogs was nearly as much as the per night fee. Would love to make this a regular place as I have family in Jackson and the hotels are limited but, just can't see spending so much on fees and having to clean etc. At any hotel no matter how few stars, they don't expect you to do your own laundry.

Loved this cute house and yard. Belinda was great to work with and answering all our questions before our arrival. Couldn’t figure out though where the light switch was at for over the sink in the kitchen. The hot tub was a hit. Walking to old town Jackson was SO quick and easy. Raley’s supermarket is less than a mile away. The yard is beautiful and well fenced for the kids to play outside. The beds were comfy and the sheets were nice. We will definitely stay here again when the time comes again. Peggy from Genoa, NV

Gorgeous live-in museum; beautiful property and home; great location
We loved our time at Lorraine's Secret! The home and grounds are beautiful and well-maintained, and we so enjoyed reading about all of the amazing antiques. The wraparound porch and parlor at the front of the home were our favorite places to just relax. The hot tub was perfect. The beds were very comfortable. Convenient to downtown Jackson as well as a few minutes from Sutter Creek, the location is great. We went to Taste restaurant in Plymouth for dinner, which is one of our all-time favorite restaurants. Our dog fit in great in the home, and enjoyed sniffing around the large fenced yard. We highly recommend Lorraine's Secret as a vacation respite or a weekend away!
