Miners Cottage

About this space
Cozy Private Cottage in a country setting. A retreat to recharge the soul. Two miles from Hwy 50. Ideal for 2 people, Queen bed, Quality linens and towels, Closet, bathroom with large shower. Mini fridge, Microwave. Coffee, tea and hot cocoa. WIFI. Smart Tv. Patio with the decorative pond and waterfall. 3 miles to historic Placerville and its unique shops. 6 miles from Coloma (Gold Discovery Park). Close to Wineries, Apple Hill, Christmas Trees, Rafting, Kayaking, 1 hour to Skiing.
Guest access
You are more than welcome to wander the property and enjoy. The horses (Gentry and Flash) keep the pasture mowed. The chickens in the orchard are entertaining. If you go into the pasture or orchard please close the gate to prevent the horses and chickens from escaping. A flock of wild Turkeys and quail wander through frequently, as well as deer. The walk down Beals Road (approximately 2 miles round trip) is an interesting walk. Our part-time dog has moved on with her owner. She shows up occasionally and promises lots of friendliness. The pond and waterfall brings a two fold enjoyment. Along with the serenity, the variety of birds that come to the pond can be very interesting. In the evening the gold finches and other "locals" come to get their baths. So if you are sitting by the pond around early evening you may be scolded by these birds, after all it is bath time.
We have a smart TV. Tired of watching movies? Try our old time radio complete with old time radio shows, like the Green Hornet, Amos and Andy, Jack Benny. Check them out and enjoy your stay.
Other things to note
I am a 5th generation resident of El Dorado County. We will be more than happy to assist in answering any questions about the area. We have a restaurant guide available for the Placerville and Coloma/Lotus area. Two Wineries, Gold Hill (also a brewery) and David Girard Vineyards are within 4 miles of the cottage.

Peaceful setting
I had a very pleasant 2 night stay in the Miners cottage, the owners thought of everything you would need to be comfortable and provided a lot of resources about the area. I especially liked the water feature in the yard and all the landscaping. I would definitely stay again!

Great Stay
This was a great place to stay on our trip to Placerville/Apple Hill. It was quiet and peaceful, and we enjoyed sitting on the deck by the small fish pond and waterfall area. The antiques were a nice touch. The cabin was clean and comfortable. We highly recommend the miners cabin.

Cozy Cottage
We were looking for a quiet place to stay for a few nights as a break from the daily grind of work and life. Miner’s Cottage was just what we were looking for. It was cozy, quiet and all our hosts were kind and helpful.

Great Stay
I really enjoyed the property. It was beautiful and the host was really sweet. A bunch of little bugs like ants and spiders kept getting in, so I was a little spooked by that, but overall I had a great time.

How do you improve upon perfect?
From the time we saw this listing online, we knew it was the right spot for our anniversary get-away. The cabin is cozy and full of interesting artifacts, as well as very interesting books which we perused. The grounds were absolutely lovely, trees and flowers everywhere to enjoy. The pond and waterfall also added so much ambiance, it was just delightful relaxing on the patio, listening to the water. Tom and Cindy were the most helpful and friendly of hosts; how we enjoyed getting to know them. We would definitely return here if we are in the area and do hope we are sometime.
