The home was even better than we expected. Plenty of cozy space for the four of us to be together, surrounded by woods, and not far from a highway entry. Our host was very responsive and welcoming. We would be happy to stay here again.

Great place for wedding in Placerville

Everything was great. Nice. Clean. Only tricky thing was the driving directions. This place is tucked away on its own so was a tad hard to find the first time.

Beautiful Home A+

My family of 4 enjoyed our stay at this beautiful home on a private, secluded lot. The home was very spacious and exceptionally clean! We didn’t cook or use the kitchen but everything was well stocked if needed. The owner was easy to communicate with and responded quickly. Highly recommend this gorgeous home, 5 stars!

Pleasantly Surprised

This home was very spacious, secluded and quaint. We enjoyed our morning coffee on the back deck. The deck was quite large and the home is more spacious than the photos showed which was a pleasant surprise. Also, this home is very clean, with a full kitchen, washer and dryer. This place is a great home to gather family together. I highly recommend this VRBO.

The house is very close to highway 50 but feels set back in the woods which is very nice. The lay out of the house was also very suitable for our family. There was a problem with the water while we stayed there causing a major leak in one of the bathrooms. It was pretty inconvenient and disruptive. I was in contact with the host about it but I didn't feel she did a good job of following up with us and nothing was offered to us to offset the disruption.

Mostly excellent! Very clean, quiet and the kitchen had more than average amenities. Beds were comfortable and had lots of space. A few minor comments:Bed side tables could use lamps where there were none on some.The Stove top could use instructions, took a few minutes to figure this out.The common room TV was a disappointment on Sunday as no broadcast channels were available, only streaming and no subscription for NFL games so we couldn't watch football.Otherwise, highly recommended for any group up to 5 or 6 people.

Accommodating owner

The house was very clean, spacious, and lovely. Unfortunately the day we arrived, PG&E cut power in the area due to weather conditions. The owner was great, and gave us an extra night to make up for the inconvenience of losing power. She even gave us recommendations on fun things to do in the area (be sure to check out Apple Hill!). Thank you, Veronica!

Another family lives in the home’s basement apartment

There is a family living in a basement unit of the home. This was not disclosed in the listing. So, while it is very nice inside the home, you have to be okay with another family living below you. And yes, you can hear them. No Wi-fi either. Cell service was good. Otherwise, clean, lovely setting, comfortable. Driveway is gravel and steep down to the house, so just be aware if you have a low riding car.

I'm glad you enjoyed the home. Sorry the information about the separate unit below was overlooked. It is clearly listed in the description of the home. Also, there is wifi and the password is written on the smaller chalkboard that is hanging in the living room. Thank you for your stay.

Beautiful House but not for everyone.

The house was beautiful, nicely decorated, everything needed was provided. The primary bed was so tall that at 5'7" I needed help to get into it. A stool would have been a nice addition. The weather was not nearly as cold as the beds were dressed for; flannel sheets, multiple comforters. It was too hot and lighter weight bedding couldn't be found. Very secluded and for the most part very quiet.The permanent tenants downstairs had a rip roaring fight one of the nights, slamming doors, yelling, etc., earplugs didn't help. Dirt driveway, very bumpy, 4-wheel drive would be great. It was a nice stay just not great sleep.

Disturbances by on-site caretaker/son and his dogs

Three of the four nights of our stay our sleep was disturbed or interrupted by the comings and goings and loud talking at all hours of the on-site caretaker/son and his companion whose living space was in a lower level of the house. There were dogs on the property that were not always leashed when they were let out. When they were let out in the early mornings, on two of the mornings the caretaker or his companion yelled loudly and repeatedly for them to return. The dogs were shut up in the daytime and frequently loudly whined. The outside deck is just above the driveway and entrance used by the caretaker/son, so there was not a sense of privacy or peacefulness there. Kitchen and bathroom counters were not cleaned--sticky from something. The location was convenient to freeway and shopping and the house was nice with many conveniences.. I visit Placerville often and had hoped this would be a good place to stay for return trips. I was very disappointed.

Response from VrboOwner on 12 Aug 2022
Sherry was very friendly and we communicated back and forth several times prior to her stay. It was not only a surprise but a disappointment to read her review and feedback as I had not heard from her during her stay and had no knowledge of the disturbances she spoke of. Therefore, I assumed everything was good. The downstairs tenants have always been very respectful and mindful of guest. They said the few interactions they had with Sherry and her group were friendly ones. Therefore, they were not aware there were any issues either. Our goal is to provide a nice home in a relaxing environment for a fair price and we certainly would have made every effort to be sure this was the case had we known there were any issues during her stay. Again, I apologize for the inconvenience and wish we would have been notified immediately. Thank you for leaving the home neat and tidy. It is very much appreciated.

Daughters wedding

House lovely. My 77 year old mother in-law stayed in room with two twins, she found them a little high and hard to get on/out of. I’d like to see more cleaning supplies. We are in a drought, dirt got tracked In on beautiful wood floors and I like things clean, could not find swiffer or dust mop. I know cleaning included, however, my corky personality was bothered by the dirt. Didn’t bother the rest of my family at all! All in all very nice.

Nice home but multiple people living in property

The home was comfortably appointed with a lovely kitchen and supplies. HOWEVER not as advertised as renting whole house. There are tenants in the basement and this was not listed in any of the advertising. There is also a man living in a very derelict trailer on the property. If I wasn't with my husband I would not have felt comfortable with multiple men and dogs walking around the property we thought we were renting in entirety. The owner was very responsive and said she would update the listing, but we were so disappointed. The basement runs along the whole master bedroom, kitchen, living room so I felt I had to keep shushing my two boys as to not be too loud or rude as I'm sure the tenants must not be thrilled with this arrangement either. I grew up in the area and travel here often and was really hoping this could be a rental we could book again and again, but sadly we won't be while there are others renting the same space.

This was an unfortunate situation. The caretaker had recently moved into the lower unit (which is a completely seperate unit with a seperate driveway as well) and I did not realize the VRBO listing had not been updated, as the other rental websites had. We would like to clarify, nobody lives in the travel trailer. The caretaker leaves his dogs in it when he's not home to prevent them from disturbing the guest. The caretaker is a "friendly young man" as described by previous guest in their reviews. And is not bothered or disturbed by our guest. There are several reasons we have a caretaker on the property. Main reason being safety, as having an empty home that no one oversees with guest constantly coming and going could lead to issues. Also the county of El Dorado charges a lower tax rate if someone is living on the property. Just to list a few. However I do understand you were under the impression there would be no one else around and I am sorry. We are going on 5 years of hosting with wonderful reviews. We take pride in providing a beautiful home at a reasonable cost and offering a good experience. Please know we take your concerns into consideration and appreciate the feedback. Again, I am sorry.

Spacious and convenient

Veronica made every effort to make our stay comfortable. Her home is close to Hwy 50 making it convenient to Tahoe and Sacramento. It is close to winery’s in Eldorado and an easy drive to Amador. Her home is spacious for 6 people easily. She does have renters in her basement. This caused an issue with the renters staying up late and not realizing there were paying guests upstairs. Veronica took care of the situation. There is no wifi. So working remotely was slowed down using a paired phone. Overall the home is conveniently located. The beds and living areas are comfortable. The bathrooms are clean with shampoo and body wash. I would stay again.
