Wonderful, gorgeous view. Pleasant accommodations and close to my sister/husband and niece. We enjoyed Folsom Prison, Sutter Gold Rush and just playing cards. Richard offered use of the pool, too. Great Owners. Thanks so much! Cheryl and Bob

Great location
The deck was the best part of the property! The vista was fantastic. The property was not as clean as i had hoped. Dead and decomposing deer onwithin 6 feet of deck and nothing could have been done to get it removed?

Great view
Nice property, nice owner. I had a few issues: rotting deer carcass next to the deck. This was on the neighbors property which was a house under construction. I do think it could have been addressed. Multiple spiders throughout the cottage. They were the daddy long legs variety but there were many. I was also not able to have more than 2 visitors which put me in a predicament with family I had traveled days to see. We went to a hotel and used their courtyard without any problems. I did enjoy the view and peaceful nature when the construction workers weren’t making lots of noise into Friday evening and all day Saturday. I do think you will enjoy this property. Just be aware of the visitors rules and check on the spiders and next door issues.

The property was exactly what I was looking for. I’m so glad that there wasn’t any noisy house construction from the house being built next-door, I mostly just sat on the deck and enjoyed a cup of coffee or tea and watched the wildlife and took a very pleasant hike straight off the property around the lake. I would definitely love to stay there again

Perfect in every way
We continue to come back to this beautiful place with a view of the lake. It is located very near family we are visiting and we are so happy to have discovered it. The view is spectacular. But the space inside is also so lovely. Wendy and Richard have thought of everything you could need. They are wonderful hosts. Every time we come back we feel like we are returning to a little bit of paradise away from home!

We absolutely enjoyed our stay at this very comfortable and clean abode. With a stunning lake view and all the amenities we needed, we wished we could have stayed longer. And Richard and Wendy were fabulous hosts who replied promptly to my questions and even stopped in to check on us and make sure we were enjoying our visit. We will book here again the next time we're in El Dorado Hills.

Beautiful lake views and quick trail access
My wife and I loved our stay in El Dorado Hills from February to May. The Vrbo had access to great hiking trails and wildlife. In spring, there were a ton of wildflowers around the lake and we saw plenty of deer, herons, cranes, turkey, and other birds. Wendy and Richard were also great hosts. They made sure we had everything we needed and were great when it came to answering our questions about the area such as ski resorts and local parks.

My boyfriend and I were in California for 13 day. We spent the first and last 4 nights with family, but wanted to get away in the middle. I found this place online and it was even more amazing than the pictures. It's near everything, the owners were so nice. We were able to come and go as we pleased and the view with the fire pit was amazing! My boyfriend being from Maryland and didn't believe thar Sacramento had any nature and this place proved him wrong. We had the best experience. Only wish we could have stayed all 13 nights here.

Most enjoyable stay!
We all absolutely loved our stay here! We stayed for almost a month and enjoyed the trails around the lake, right from the property! Our dog had the best time playing with the hosts dog, swimming in the lake and watching the deers wander by. It was a convenient location near the city but was so peaceful and felt miles away. We paddleboarded, kayaked, traveled to Auburn to enjoy the trails and couldn't have asked for a better spot or more inviting hosts! Thank you Richard & Wendy!

The main room was great. We weren't cooking so the kitchen was fine but would have been difficult to make a large meal. The bedroom was small but the bed was comfortable so we slept well. The washer dryer came in handy. The location is beautiful and the location was perfect for visiting family. Will stay again

Extremely comfortable long-term stay working remote and enjoying Northern California
I stayed at the carriage house for almost 4 months working remotely. The size of the unit was perfect for me and my dog. The house had everything we could possibly need and the view from the patio was priceless. The house is located above a separate garage with its own parking area and entrance which made the space feel very private while still having the convenience and security of the hosts just next door. Richard and Wendy were the best hosts I could ask for! They were always so helpful and responsive with any needs in the apartment. They are also extremely generous with recommendations around the area and even brought me along to see some of their favorite trails and breweries. My dog loved playing in the backyard with their sweet dog Lox and going on hikes together on the trails just behind the house. As a woman traveling by myself, it was extremely relieving to have such kind and trustworthy people nearby. As an outdoor enthusiast, the house was conveniently located near many popular mountain biking, hiking, paddle boarding, and skiing locations less than 2 hours away for a day trip. I loved this location and space as a headquarters for all my adventures. I would definitely recommend this space to anyone who wants to explore great outdoor opportunities or just relax on the patio with a beautiful lake view.
