About this property

Private Country Sanctuary with a Pool

Peaceful Country Resort

Enjoy a relaxing escape in the Sierra Foothills. Located halfway between the Shenandoah Wine Valley and Kirkwood Mountain Resort, this is the perfect spot for a romantic getaway, a family retreat, or gathering with good friends. Come breathe in the fresh mountain air and reconnect among the cedars, maples and sugar pines.

This luxury property features a lovely single level home, designed and custom built by a celebrated Bay Area artist, with four bedrooms and three full bathrooms.

But it's the grounds that make this place truly special! The five acre estate is filled with lush gardens, three quaint summer cabins, a swimming pool, a hot tub, a trampoline, a ping pong table, a treehouse with a climbing wall, and even an amphitheater. There are all sorts of magical nooks and crannies waiting for you to explore. You will have the run of the entire property during your stay. We have tree swings, hammocks and plenty of space to lounge outside.

The gourmet kitchen has a Wolf range and is fully equipped. The round dining table seats 6 comfortably and is located next to the kitchen peninsula, which seats 4. There are also two large dining tables outside that seat 10 and 8.

All bedrooms are beautifully furnished and spacious. Three of the bedrooms have king beds and the fourth has a queen over queen bunk bed.

There is a working wood fireplace in the living room and several outdoor fire pits for you to enjoy. You can relax with an assortment of puzzles, board games and books.

Media room; Sonos audio system; three televisions and a 4K laser projector, all with access to streaming services and live broadcasts.

High speed internet (50 Mbps)

Guests will have the entire 5 acre property to themselves.

8 adult guests max unless cleared with hosts.

No events, photo shoots, filming, etc. unless cleared with hosts. We charge a $5,000 daily event fee.

Well behaved pets considered with a $200 pet fee per stay. Inquire with hosts.

There are a few sweet outdoor feral cats that frequent the property. They are shy and will probably hide from you.

Viva la Vida!

We enjoyed our stay and only wish we could have stayed longer. Drew was a wonderful host and was prompt to answer any questions we had. The house was beautiful, clean, cool, very quiet and private. The kitchen is incredible. Every pot, pan and appliance you could need is there. The house has a great bunk room for children and plenty of space to spread out. But with four children in tow, the pool was the main draw. It was clean and the perfect temperature. We spent our days by the pool and ended each evening's swim with s'mores roasted at the poolside fire pit. If you do manage to pull yourself away from the pool, swings, trampoline ... you can drive a short distance to enjoy waffle cones filled with delicious homemade ice cream in Pine Grove or tour underground caves in Volcano. Adults can spend days touring the wineries in the area. We would definitely stay here again.

A high end and well appointed property.

A beautiful property with all you want for a nice relaxing vacation. From the heated pool and jacuzzi surrounded by majestic trees, to the 4K projector and sound system in the living room ... you have all you need to relax and entertain. Large and clean bedrooms and bathrooms. The kitchen has everything (I mean everything) you might need. Multiple areas to sit and hangout or to eat inside or outside. I have written 5-star reviews for other properties, but I think this is the real 5-star one. Period.

Wonderful family weekend

Our family stayed for a long weekend and loved the property and home. Tons for kids to do, we enjoyed the pool all day and the adults lounged in the many outdoor areas after bedtime to enjoy some wine and cocktails. Would highly recommend!

Highly Recommended!

We really enjoyed our stay. The house is a bit remote (that’s what we were looking for) but beautiful, and the owner was extremely receptive and made himself available when we had questions. The kitchen was also packed with pots, pans, and spices, and the grill had plenty of propane. There are lots of unique, private spaces to relax, and the pool was clean and immaculate. Lastly, the vineyards are less than an hour away. Overall I highly recommend this property for groups of friends or families.

Why they chose this property

Amador County is home to some of the oldest grapevines in California and has many charming wineries scattered throughout the region. The Shenandoah Valley is home to some of the best Zinfandel varietals in the country. Eater San Francisco recently published a California Gold Country Guide (available at https://sf.eater.com/23125363/california-gold-country-guide). The guide features several local spots, including Amador County’s only natural winery, The End of Nowhere, which has established a vineyard just a few miles from our property in Pioneer and has a tasting room in Amador City, about 35 minutes away. The guide also highlights Break Even Beermakers, which has a brewery, taproom and kitchen in Amador City. Other nearby towns worth visiting include: Volcano (~20 minutes away), which is rich with Gold Rush history and boasts California's first circulating library and one of the longest running general stores in the State. Sutter Creek (~30 min away) is a charming historical town founded during the Gold Rush and has several restaurants, tasting rooms, and boutique shopping. Plymouth (~45 minutes away) is the gateway to the Shenandoah Valley wine scene with fantastic tasting rooms and restaurants. For outdoor recreation (hiking and snow-play), Bear Creek Reservoir (~20 minutes), Iron Mountain Sno-Park (~30 minutes), Silver Lake (~40 minutes), and Kirkwood Mountain Resort (~50 minutes) are all located east on Hwy 88 up the mountain. The south shore of Lake Tahoe is a little over an hour drive. We also love exploring Indian Grinding Rock State Historical Park and Black Chasm Cavern National Natural Landmark, both about 20 minutes away near the town of Volcano.

What makes this property unique

Peaceful resort property with heated pool, six person hot tub, three summer cabins, a treehouse with climbing wall, and an amphitheater.
