Peaceful and relaxing

Nice apartment above the garage on the property right by the hosts’ house. The bed was extra comfy and the kitchen was well appointed. We came to the area to run the Rubicon Trail and got to enjoy the wonderful apple orchards in the area.

Beautiful place close to Apple Hill

We had a wonderful stay at this very well cared for home. It is far enough from the main house such that it is very private. Extremely well stocked with basically everything you could need. Check in was very easy and the managers friendly and responsive. Three of us were very comfortable. While the location is well off the “beaten path” which is very nice, it is surprisingly convenient to Apple Hill and wineries. And everything you need for groceries, food, etc.is about a 10 minute drive. Will definitely stay here again.

Rafting get-away

Comfortable and very neat property. 15 minutes to Placerville. Quant little city with some good restaurants. 45 minutes to the American River rafting area. The house was stacked very well with incidentals and spices. Nice master bedroom with 2 pullout couches in the living area.

Exceeds Expectation

Not too often in life do you have an experience that exceeds your expectations. This place is beautiful! Very spacious and comfortable. Upscale bedding, linens, pillows and mattress were high quality. You can tell that the owners put a lot of pride in their home. The space was bigger than expected. We stayed there with our young adult son who slept comfortably on the day bed in the large living room. Beautiful views and so peaceful. Nice to wake up to the sounds of the country. Thank you, Pheobe & TK, you are great hosts!

A Beautiful Countryside Setting

The property is simply gorgeous. When meeting the "caretaker," we were also met with deer nearby. We had a beautiful scenic drive to the property.

Exceeded our expectations!

What an absolutely beautiful property. We loved that it was a separate building from the main house. It had the charm of a cozy vacation home with all the important amenities that are expected from a hotel such as fresh coffee, an ironing board, soaps, lotions, luggage stands, towels, etc. The deer, squirrels, and woodpeckers were fun to watch while sipping on morning coffee! Phoebe and TK were very welcoming and it was so thoughtful for them to have a bottle of wine waiting for us as well as a pack n play for our 10 month old. Our only surprise (and this was on us!) was that it was a lot further away from our destination than we expected. We were in town for a family event in Coloma, about 40 minutes away. This property is rural, in the hills up a windy road. So just keep that in mind with your planning - it's a bit of a drive into the nearest town for groceries and other essentials. We would 100% stay here again - it would have been wonderful if we had booked an extra day so we could have really explored the surrounding scenery!!

What a heavenly stay!

We rented this for our 8th wedding anniversary, and could not be more pleased with our stay. My wife wanted to get away, see some fall foliage and do some apple picking. We were more successful with the latter than the former - I think we were about a week early on the foliage. Bonus though was all the animals we saw - from woodpeckers to squirrels, to wild turkeys to quails, and a tremendous number of deer of all sizes - big antlered bucks to babies. My wife was in heaven. The hosts generously provided us with a lovely bottle of Zinfandel wine, worried about us when we arrived much later than we expected and were responsive to all communications. They could not have been better hosts. The home was spotless and a joy to relax in. We hope to get back there soon.

Pre-wedding stay

My husband stayed here the night before our wedding and really enjoyed the property. His groomsmen, my dad, and my step dad joined hims the next morning to get ready and take some fun photo with the photographer and videographer. The property was clean and well suited to his stay. The property manager was easy to communicate with and prompt. I would highly recommend this listing.

Better than the description

The house and the owners were both amazing. Looked even better in person than it did online. Clean, spacious, comfortable, and just a few minutes away from the venue for the wedding I traveled out there for. I can't think of a single thing I didn't enjoy about it. One of the owners gave me the rundown when I arrived (how to adjust/turn on heat/AC, TV remotes, directions to local shops, etc.), told me to contact them if I needed anything, and then they let me be. Cannot thank them enough or think of a single negative thing to say.

Quiet & Relaxing

The location of this property was perfect for us, out of the way and secluded. Phoebe made the entire process very easy. From the booking to the arrival to our departure she & TK made it a breeze. The house was welcoming and very comfortable. We like the ability to cook our own meals and pack snacks for a day of wine tasting. Nothing better than waking up enjoying a cup of coffee and watching deer wander across the property. If you want a quite, comfortable stay in wine country that’s away from Main Street you can’t do much better than Phoebe’s place. We’ll be back.
