Serene and Quiet County Cottage Near HWY 50

Welcome to our secret Shangri La of the Sierras! This studio guest house is on our private 1 acre property. We live in the main house. The guest house has its own private entrance and fenced in yard. This natural setting is peaceful yet close to everything you need. 7 minutes from HWY 50. Free range chickens and bunnies on main property. Not a good place for loud noise or partying but a calm quiet place to hide and restore yourself.

Cozy & Convenient Cottage
We have stayed at the “Serene & Quiet Cottage” several times. It is always clean and cozy. We travel with our two golden retrievers and the fenced yard is very nice and convenient for them. Communication with the owner is always quick and easy. And the cottage is conveniently located for wineries, Apple Hill, downtown Placerville or other local sites. You do have to pass the high school to get to and from the cottage from Highway 50 or points north, so plan accordingly. It can be very congested at times!

Relaxing Stay in Shingle Springs
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this pleasant get-away. It was, as the title says, truly serene and quiet. There are a few things that are very important to us; a clean place, a comfy bed, and privacy. This VRBO has all of that and more. The host was available for us, yet, let us have our space. She thought of all the little details, i.e., extra pillows and blankets, new toothbrushes, bottled water in the refrigerator, along with many other extras. The kitchen was well equipped, the shower was divine, and we slept like babies on the comfortable bed. We especially liked all the DVDs that were available, along with games, books, and streaming shows on the television. This sweet cottage is close to many recreational spots. We visited Placerville, Sutter Creek and Jackson. South Lake Tahoe was our planned day trip, but the weather changed, so we stayed closer to home base. You will love staying here. It is very peaceful, and if you're lucky, you'll see some wildlife out the window!

We had a good stay with our two dogs. It is a cute little cottage. Everything was great. There are lots of nice touches and detail. For example, there are usb charging cords in the bedroom and living room. The only minor issue was the air conditioning. It is a portable unit and we were having a heat wave (111 degrees) so the little unit had to work really hard to keep the place cool. The fan was pretty loud. Under cooler circumstances, you could run it on a lower fan speed.

Quiet retreat close to home
I needed a quiet area for my dog and I to stay around the 4th of July that wasn’t a huge distance from my house. Sarah’s place was only 1 hour away and was perfect. My pup was nice and calm with the area being so quiet you could hear a pin drop. Sarah was an awesome and accommodating host. We will be back so don’t steal my 4th of July idea. 😉

Stress Free!
It's a cozy place, secluded, and safe. The locals are friendly and the nearby restaurants are super Tasty! We visited Yuki Sushi (Amazing Cuts!!), Rey Mimosa (super friendly, food great) and Papa Italian Restaurant (absolutely to die for). There's a Chinese place too, but we didn't have the extra time to visit it. I will say it's a popular place. Yes, this property was great for us.

Foothill tranquility
We chose this property in large part for the location off the beaten path but within easy striking distance of the Folsom area. It provided exactly the peace and quiet we had hoped, and that made our down time and sleeping much better than somewhere busier. Arrival was smooth, and the property was clean, although no what I would call high level ‘industry standard’ clean. Given the length of our stay we also expected to clean as we went anyway. The kitchen was amply equipped and big enough for one person to cook at a time. There wasn’t much storage space in the kitchen, so we did smaller shops rather than a full stock-up process. The bed was comfortable, and the living space was sufficient for two people. The electric fireplace was great to knock the chill off most days, and when it was warm enough we enjoyed sitting outside. We don’t watch a lot of TV, but navigating the smart TV wasn’t super intuitive. We were able to stream on laptop or iPad just fine. Great WiFi strength. We run an online business and were able to do what we needed while there.

Cozy Neighborhood Hideaway
We enjoyed our 4-night stay in the cozy cottage with our two golden retrievers. There was plenty of room, the cottage was clean and had everything we needed to eat most of our meals in during our stay. The communication with the host was simple and had a quick turnaround. The owners give you all the space and privacy you would like. We would definitely stay again.

Very relaxing stay. Self check in was super easy. The cottage was very nice and comfortable. It was well appointed, with everything we needed. Lot's of books and DVDS. There were even drinks and snacks in the kitchen! Our dog Lana enjoyed it as well. She was very relaxed and enjoyed the fenced in yard as well as some short walks. We would highly recommend and would definitely stay there again.

We had a wounded visit. I had myself, husband, 7year old and two small dogs for the visit. I enjoyed the openness of the small house. Also a plus was the fenced in yard for my dogs to go out safely and play around. The host was very easy to reach for any questions. We will definitely stay here again when we visit family.
