This is a magical little sanctuary. The house and gardens are all historic and perfectly kept. The wrap around veranda takes you back to imagining life when the town was built. My favourite thing of all was the old magnificent antique cooking range! It was a joy to cook on and really was a thing of beauty!!! We look forward to coming back soon…
Lovely Victorian with lots of historical charm. Walking distance to downtown Jackson and driving distance to all of Amador County.
The house was very comfortable with many amenities. There was a room full of books and games, kitchen stocked with cookware, appliances, spices, and more, outdoor barbecue grill. The outdoor garden was nicely landscaped and beautifully designed. Unfortunately the weather didn't allow us to soak in the hot tub. We enjoyed our stay and would definitely come back
Came to town to celebrate my wife’s 50th birthday. Walked on Main Street, enjoyed the yard, played games, cooked dinner and breakfasts, barbecued, toured wineries and the town of Sutter Creek, and sat in the hot tub under the moo and stars! It was a perfect weekend!
Charming simple wine country retreat very comfortable and quiet. Lots of yard space for quiet reflection and peace. The hot tub was large and super convenient. Ate out mostly, a quick walk to town, and beds were super comfortable.
Follow the instructions that the rental company gives you to get to parking!! The building that you park in front of is the garage and not the house. We were in complete panic mode arriving in the dark to the property and using the code only to realize that the gorgeous house was just steps away. Our hostess checked via text and all is well, thank you Belinda! Stunning 3 bedroom Victorian Farmhouse, fenced in yard is great for kids or fur babies. Close to downtown!
Loved this old house and its grounds. Great location. All of the amenities that we want nearby. You have to be able to navigate the stairs but very worth the effort. We will definitely go back in the future. Thanks for having us.
The house is a very cute Victorian house with all the amenities you need. It was plenty of room for 6 adults. Loved having a BBQ grill and hot tub. People will love to stay here.
Very comfortable old home decorated very nicely with interesting facts included near art. Great yard for our dogs, quite location, peaceful setting. Decently appointed kitchen, and baths. I do take slight issue with being asked to wash a load of towels, run and unload dishwasher etc. We paid 150 cleaning fee+ additional fee for the dogs. I assumed that was to pay a housekeeper to service the home. I hardly made a mark having used one of the three bedrooms, and being tidy by nature. It just seems a bit much to require so many fees and expect guests to clean and launder before leaving at 11am. The cleaning and fees for the dogs was nearly as much as the per night fee. Would love to make this a regular place as I have family in Jackson and the hotels are limited but, just can't see spending so much on fees and having to clean etc. At any hotel no matter how few stars, they don't expect you to do your own laundry.
The house is great but the street is incredibly narrow and hard to navigate.
Loved this cute house and yard. Belinda was great to work with and answering all our questions before our arrival. Couldn’t figure out though where the light switch was at for over the sink in the kitchen. The hot tub was a hit. Walking to old town Jackson was SO quick and easy. Raley’s supermarket is less than a mile away. The yard is beautiful and well fenced for the kids to play outside. The beds were comfy and the sheets were nice. We will definitely stay here again when the time comes again. Peggy from Genoa, NV
