Bright spaces, nice furnishings, and plenty of space for our group of 8. Bedroom options were perfect for our group too. Cousins slept upstairs in a large room with their own bath. Setting is peaceful and views were gorgeous. Shaun and Katherine were great to work with.
We loved this home! There was plenty of room for everyone. The upstairs gets a little warm and one of the air beds had a hard time staying inflated. However, I would stay here again. The sunsets in the hot tub were epic.
Wonderful, peaceful location with amazing hot tub to watch sunset at end of day. Loved seeing all the deer walking the property throughout our time at the house. Clean and spacious for our group. Fun location to small town fun (note: Uber was not available and taxis were expensive). Found a great hike, winery that also had beer tasting for those non-wine types in our group, live music with fire pits to relax and enjoy, and lunch in downtown Sonora. Definitely recommend for weekend getaway!
The property is beautiful and spacious, easily accommodating 7 people. The kitchen is well equipped, and there are several areas where you can relax. The air conditioning and Tesla charger were both blessings, and the grill works great. Unfortunately, the beds were stiffer than what any of us preferred, and the hot tub was marginally functional. Otherwise this was a great stay.
The location of the house was convenient for our holiday plans. The lay out of the home was spacious and accommodated our family. The kitchen is adequately supplied although it was necessary to wash utensils after each meal. The sheets and towels are a nice quality. The beds were firm beyond our preference and the pillows were flatter than preferred. Two notes of interest is; the front door is tied to WiFi and requires a palm contact prior to code entry; and the bedroom with two beds is up a flight of stairs. The owners were pleasant to communicate with.

Beautiful home
The house had plenty of space for the 6 of us. It was easy to enter the house with the keyless entry. It was very peaceful and had great views and not to far from town. We only had a few problems. The hot water heater was turned all the way down so we had to turn it up so we could get some hot water. We only had enough dish detergent for 1 load of dishes but when I let them know they delivered a bottle to us that day. The housekeepers/previous guest forgot the throw out the coffee grounds in the coffee pot. If you plan on cooking at the house you need to bring plastic wrap, foil, ziplock bags etc.
We spent a weekend in Columbia doing gold country activities, and this house was the perfect spot to unwind after a long day of walking! The views are fantastic, the hot tub was relaxing, and we really enjoyed cooking together in the kitchen. We even saw turkeys and deer on the property! This was a great location, just a few minutes from lots of food, activities, and shopping!

Sweet home with great views
We were in town for two nights for a wedding and absolutely loved our stay. The home was lovely and the scenery was beautiful. Hosts were communicative. Absolutely lovely stay!
The house was exactly as described in the pictures. The hosts were very easy to communicate with and responsive in answering text messages. We loved the proximity to Dodge Ridge and Columbia State Park. We hope to visit again!
This property is a gem. A beautiful drive to Columbia followed with a beautiful home to stay at. Great recommendations in binder. Wonderful master bathroom. Highly recommend.

Absolutely perfect
Super communicative property contact, responds quickly. The house was gorgeous, the views are spectacular. We didn’t want to leave, and will definitely come back.
This home is amazing with plenty of room for my family and in-laws. The description of the home was perfect. We were visiting for a family event and my elderly mom and aunt didn’t have to worry about stairs (huge plus for me).
A few of my favorite things about this place: the kitchen, the sunsets from the deck, the proximity to the events we planned, the hot tub, and the ease of contacting the owner.
I would definitely recommend this place to others.
The house is gorgeous, the view is incredible. Watching sunsets from the deck was the perfect way to close out the day. We will definitely be back. Super communicative contacts, small hiccup was handled with professionalism and speed. Great house, lots of deer, beautiful location.
Kitchen not well stocked nor well cleaned. No salt and pepper and few serving bowls and platters All but one bed very comfortable. Some light bulbs out. Access easy. Layout of house good.
